"We are extremely proud of reaching this milestone and very grateful to the fans of Beat the Traffic who helped us get there," said Andre Gueziec, CEO of Beat the Traffic.

To us, it reflects the progress we've made toward our goal – empowering travelers everywhere with the tools they need to reach their destinations safely, while saving money and time in the process."

One of the fastest growing mobile apps since its 2009 launch, Beat the Traffic consistently places among the top 10 traffic apps in the iPhone App Store and Google Play (Android Market) and steadily averages reviews of four stars or better. More than half a million people across North America regularly use Beat the Traffic to retrieve travel times, view details of traffic incidents with live camera views, create personalized traffic reports and receive up-to-the-minute traffic updates on their mobile devices while on the road.

In a few days, Beat the Traffic will release Beat the Traffic 2.0 for iOS, featuring an even cleaner and more modern interface and brand new features. Among the new tools on Beat the Traffic 2.0 will be MyRoutes, which allows users to easily enter and save their favorite routes and receive automated alerts of any traffic delays on their mobile devices. Over time, travelers can use MyRoutes to determine the most trouble-free routes and the best times to travel. MyRoutes will come with one free route on the free version of Beat the Traffic and Beat the Traffic Plus. Users who want to create more routes will be able to upgrade to Beat the Traffic Pro directly within the app and create as many routes and alerts as they need.
