★★★★ Diana Lubbs 5/8/2026 v3.14.0
Extremely hard to converse w a live agent. auto agent couldn't handle my request , but was hard to switch to a live agent. extremely frustrating!!! also impossible to find a phone number to talk to an agent. had to get it from someone else who also had problems. very poor system to navigate, but they are surely quick to charge you! when I did finally talk to an agent, (Bethany) she was very helpful. visiting a satellite office is not convenient if you live 2.5 hrs away!

★★★★ Stephanie K 5/7/2026 v3.14.0
Didn't get pending tolls for over a month, almost resulting in fees. Still have to check online which makes the app useless.
★★★★ Fred Springfield 5/7/2026 v3.14.0
It constantly says something went wrong. I can never do anything through the app. It's in need of serious attention.
★★★★ Melissa Williams 5/6/2026 v3.14.0
That's not me who you guys are. Charging, I'm at work. I can't be as a toll place at the same time.

Constantly reroutes you to the website. Then when in the "app" there's a button that says "Switch to app". Um, what? Terrible design. Almost impossible to find where to update payment info.

★★★★ Natalie ! 4/21/2026 v3.14.0

★★★★ Cori Chopin 4/20/2026 v3.14.0
Has stolen over 15 dollars in toll payment since march 13, I haven't been on the highway since then, last time I checked the toll fee was double the price of a single toll, not 10×

★★★★ Leo The Savage Music 4/16/2026 v3.14.0
can't understand
★★★★ Jessica Lovato 4/15/2026 v3.14.0
This should be illegal! I can't pay the bills on the app or the website stating there was an error! I've tried for days to see if it was just a weird day. Nope! Just won't work. I see all the other reviews and don't want to be hit with a 400 dollar fine because of their negligence on keeping their sites working! I can't pay if the website or app works!
★★★★ Roger Thibodo 4/15/2026 v3.14.0
won't open
★★★★ Carrie Borkowski 4/15/2026 v3.14.0
doesn't show me the tolls l go through but pulls money from my card for tolls that it doesn't show existed!!
★★★★ Clever Chimp 4/15/2026 v3.14.0
Doesn't always launch, just hangs so I put my account on auto recharge, a good feature for a defective app. Changed credit cards so I got an email stating my card was rejected, odd because I have a $50 credit balance but the app knew. Need to update to a new card but can't get in. Last time this happened I had to call. That's a sign of app failure. Edit: I give up. uninstalled.
★★★★ Louis Dupree 4/15/2026 v3.11.2
its,so hard to work with
★★★★ Eric Domingo 4/14/2026 v3.14.0
4/14/26: you know what, forget it this app just in general has waaayyy too many problems to the point where I have to resort to using the mobile browser site where things work PERFECTLY!! But in the app there are errors EVERYWHERE!!
★★★★ Bozena Bartek 4/14/2026 v3.14.0

★★★★ Muzammil Syed 4/14/2026 v3.14.0
worst app UI & UX design I have ever seen/experience.

★★★★ Bill Bryan 4/9/2026 v3.14.0
hardly ever works
★★★★ Rolande Akotsu 4/8/2026
site Is absolute garbage. had nothing but bad experiences with Illinois tolls. Recently I can't even pay tolls Im being hounded for, it keeps rejecting the expiration date for my card, Ive entered every wich way keeps saying 'must be a valid date'. before the charged me for tolls I already paid, had to call 3 days straight to talk to somebody because of call volume, and still paid twice just to get them off my back. Before this, automatic payment set up, was deleted somehow, and charged fees.
★★★★ Jan Marynowski 4/7/2026 v3.14.0
