Aha

Idownloaded this app because I thought the options to find nearby food, coffee, or restrooms would be useful. But from my home location, none of these options gives any useful information. The iphone Yelp app gives 8 good coffee shops within a mile of my home. I doubt if I will be using this app.

It just took a moment to setup the app so that it knew my typical workday drive, and now I can see my entire commute's traffic report in one simple screen. It also guesses my current direction pretty well in order to give me suggested traffic info. I'm also a big fan of listening to other people's caraoke shouts :) Who knew there were so many entertaining people out there with terrible voices?

So I would definitely say give it a try, and take a moment to figure out how to customize the application to meet your needs.

Freez up the phone and I had to remove .

For those that have already reviewed and panned this app because it doesn't work because of a "registration error," you are half right. The app does in fact work. I just installed it and it works. When the app tells you, "Registration Error/E-mail Address Invalid" (or something like that), during the sign-up, what it REALLY means to say is, "USERNAME error: This field cannot contain special characters or spaces". Someone fix this.

For example:

If you choose "Bad Driver!!" as your Aha username, and fill out all of the other boxes for 'e-mail address', 'password', and 'password verify' correctly, you will still get the "REGISTRATION ERROR: EMAIL INVALID" error message (or something to that effect).

But if you change the username to "BadDriver" (and leave your same exact e-mail address that you typed out the first time before you got the error message), the app will register you successfully and install correctly, etc. etc.

Well just loaded app and when I log in it tells me I have wrong user ID/password. Neither are wrong so to avoid getting frustrated I deleted it.

This is a great idea and when it works it gives a great deal of local information for my daily commute, however what kills it is the constant crashing, and the difficulty figuring out how to get around in the app. The latter I could figure out in time but not if it keeps crashing, I used it yesterday for a 10 minute commute and it crashed 6 times in that trip, making it unusable. It's a shame because it has real potential.

I found this app to be doubly unfortunate: slow and unstable. Perhaps an updated version will be worth buying, but I wasn't even able to get the application functioning. It was deleted in frustration after ten minutes of trying to create an account with no response from the program or their servers, between intermittent program crashes.

Hate to knock a free application. Probably through no fault of the developer, I had repeated problems connecting to the server (Dallas-Fort Worth area). If you can't get the information when and where you need it, it is basically worthless.

Downloaded and used Aha on my commute home last night and this morning. Takes a little time to navigate/understand the app UI, however I like the 'shouts' and traffic roadbots. The travel time for both of my commutes was surprisingly accurate. Also, the 'Nearby' feature is cool; it nailed the best sushi restaurants in my area.

Aha gives you a feel of your local freeways. It also allways you to get feedback from your fellow drivers. You can vent about the bad drivers you share the road with or sing your heart put for everyone to hear. I think this is a must have program. For the price you can't go wrong! Marshall
