I recently started working at Inrix and I'm honored to be involved in this 3.6 update. With this update, I can now leave my iPhone plugged in to my car charger and have it up-side-down inside my cup holder an it will automatically orient the screen correctly. It's such a simple feature, I'm suprrised not a lot of other apps offer this. Before this update, I tend to get traffic alerts for incidents that happened behind me. Now it's more forward looking and I get alerts of things in front of me, making this app that much more useful. Program Manager, INRIX

In true form Inrix releases another update that's broken. No app should be using the location services 100% of the time even when the app is not running.Update: battery drain has actually increased with the "fix". nice try, next time try a bit harder.Update: 3.6 no change on the battery drain. I turn off the traffic alert and the drain stops.Update: Inrix has reached out to me and is interested in my unique issue, very impressed!

Do not install this update unless you always have power to your phone at all times. It killed my batter in just 3 hours running in the background. They "say" they use only cell tower based location services when in background. But even that appears to use a lot of power. I killed the app and location services were STILL on. Had to reboot phone to turn them off. I don't need upcoming traffic alerts so this feature is not worth the power consumption. Reverting back to 3.5

These guys have better accuracy than any other traffic app and have added a lot under the hood.

App. Thanks.

Now they seem to pop up infront of me. Super accurate too. No false alarms. Keep up the good work INTRIX.

Landscape mode has arrived! I LOVE IT! I never start driving anywhere without checking this app 1st. It has saved me too many times to mention. I recommend it to everyone.

I tried this app in hoping to save me some time on commute during rush hours to work and home, which is already stressful. Now I don't have to figure out which is the quickest route, which is a very neat feature this app can offer. Thanks Inrix! I will highly recommend this traffic app. :)

Amazing. After near universal revolt against last update's always-on GPS, this new update still keeps GPS always on. Strip yet another star. INTRIX used to be my favourite traffic app. Better interface, neater "forecast" than Beat the Traffic (BTT), and smoother reporting feature. But the latest update turns location service on all the time (and took me an hour, a full power cycle, and removing every app from multitask bar, just to confirm). This is inexcusable even though it may not consume much power, for it is useless to constantly update me if I'm not in the car. Until they put in a way to "Quit" app completely (like Waze and many other apps allows), I am turning this off. Speaking of Waze, its "social" update feature is certainly grabbing this user. Otherwise...Like BTT, it keeps the screen up when auto lock is on, which is important for a navigation app. But 3.0 update made it really worthwhile.I tried INTRIX in version 2.5. For quite some time I relied on BTT despite firing up INTRIX occasionally for data comparison. All things equal, I want to use the most accurate app, namely BTT. INTRIX uses Google Maps but its traffic data tends to be different from Maps app (which is effectively Google Maps); INTRIX's traffic is closer to that from Bing maps. I also found that accident reporting is a lot easier than BTT's - have to wonder why BTT still got better data and more timely accident display.Several weeks before 3.0 update, I started to use INTRIX a lot more, because I accidentally discovered a neat feature that made the two _unequal_: INTRIX can display traffic on local roads but BTT cannot. (You'll have to zoom in deeply to reveal local traffic.)More recently, I started to notice that in multiple occasions, INTRIX's traffic info was more timely than BTT. If this keeps up, I may stay with INTRIX instead.3.0 drastically changed several user interfaces, mostly for the better. 3.1 also allows low resolution graphs for speedier updates - a great improvement! (Most of iPhones are still on AT&T, right?) I like center-lock-unlock, "comparative traffic," and even better reporting. But these features now occupies disproportional amount of screen space and can get in the way of navigation. Those icons should be reduced in size, or compacted into a smaller strip unless a "button" is pressed. I don't understand AppsRadio touted for 3.1 - what (and where) is this? Yet another wish: Give a number for colour code. (I know most apps do not. But BTT does.) O, automatic unlock sometimes doesn't work, and the app tends to die near the Wi-Fi-mobile transition.So, let's see. Easier to use, cool features, useful on local roads, possibly even better traffic info. That's a win.

I use this app every day.

Been waiting for a great traffic app since I got my iPhone. Travel by car for work and this has already saved me twice and I got it yesterday!! Must have for iPhone

I like INRIX TRAFFIC interface AND the ability to forecast traffic!

Am I missing something or are these features already available on several other mapping apps?

Wow a traffic app that actually works

I get it, predicting what the traffic will be like in 30 minutes is cool, but that is it. And one small accident and the entire prediction goes out the window. Even I know that during rush hour traffic is worse than it is the rest of the day. I don't need an app to tell me that. This is already getting deleted since they didn't bring anything new. I am still waiting for the right traffic application that is customized for me and gives reliable data in a better format than plain old google maps.

I got this app last week. I travel Rte. 95 In NH on Sundays. This is always busy especially the Hampton toll area. Sometimes traffic can be backed up for miles on a good beach day. Yesterday I checked INRIX before getting on the highway. It showed miles of backup before and after the tolls. I checked Google maps and it showed a minor backup, less than a 1/2 mile and wide open on the other side. I thought this would be a good test. Google was right on the money!! No traffic! If I had counted on INRIX I would have taken a different route way out of the way. I will be removing this app from my Iphone after I type this.

While a few other location-specific traffic apps are available in the iTunes store, none are as reliable, dead accurate or robust as INRIX TRAFFIC! (and how could they be, as INRIX is breaking new ground on a daily basis in the traffic business). Since downloading the app last week, I've identified congested roads and accidents (nice feature: description of the accident and where the info came from) and routed myself around problem areas - something to consider, particularly in Atlanta - saving time and aggravation. This app exceeds my expectations in nearly every way.

This is the same as Google Maps only the maps are horrible and the experience is slow. Lets hope for an update or an exit!

I don't usually rate stuff, but this app is very cool!

This app is great!

Amazingly accurate and everything i need to understand traffic in one place. Try it!

Like everytime I start the app, it shows the map of the entire world. Please add the feature so that each time the app starts it will automatically locate the default location.

Way useful and helpful. A must for every iPhone user!

I love the integration of live traffic flow and incident information with events.

Try this app, then decide if google maps is as accurate. If google is good, then inrix is great. These guys did a really good job with this app, so far it's been very accurate. shaved about 8 minutes off my commute by taking an alternate route when noticing a traffic jam on the way home from work, not bad for a free app.

Great coverage! I never leave home without checking.... saves me HOURS.

I will certainly use this when I travel for business - and around town!

Certainly one of the most useful apps for the iPhone.

Finally a fantastic app with live traffic for Los Angeles, Ca.

Traffic jams in Austin are world-class. Traffics! unique data-gathering solution is ingenious and deadly accurate. The iTunes description of the technology will convince you. Thanks to the developers for their unique concept and app!

Luckily I just downloaded this app today before my commute home in Atlanta. Inrix Traffic! identified an accident on I-75 Northbound that would have had me sitting in traffic for a long time. Looking at the traffic map on the app, I saw green roads on an alternative route, which I took, and am now home. Hope to check out the forecast feature tomorrow. Very handy!

Outpaces not only all other iPhone apps, but also the dedicated devices in my vehicles!

Seems to find traffic jams more reliably than other apps I have used. Easy to use. Also I enjoy browsing the events going on in my area on the weekend.

What's with the world map intro? That aside, this has been right on with respect to congestion, and is easy to use. I really like the inter-city coverage!

Beautifully simple and quick zoom to location on startup makes this very useful. The traffic data seems more complete than google maps and showed me a freeway backup way outside of Portland, which google maps didn't show.

Great coverage and the accuracy seems much better than other traffic apps (google, etc). Great job with the capturing the del mar fair event in San Diego and the traffic. I really like the auto zoom on your location at a high enough level to see traffic around you. Simple app that does exactly what I need it to.

Helped me avoid a major congestion problem today. Very cool!

I take I-77 N to work every day, and this is the only accurate traffic service I've found, including FM services. With the construction, it also shows expected delays from the DOT.

The forecaster is great. I like to know what the traffic on a certain stretch of highway will be when I get there not what it is when I am 30 mins away. Also the alerts are great I like to know about traffic quandries before I get stuck sitting in the back ups they cause. I would have paid for this app! Plus the programing is top notch.

Well done. Shows traffic situations that Google Maps does not. Easy to use. Pretty much hits the nail on the head.

Near perfect. Works very well and has already saved me some traffic nightmares.

All I cs say is.. Amazing app!! Love how it highlights the events going on in the city.. The road construction.. Everyone who has an iPhone needs this!! Get it now! -bill [=

Much better than Google Maps - a lot more coverage in my city and seems to be more accurate.
