Rough Road Info/App?

Does anyone know of a source where one can find info on rough road surface conditions?

I have done some searching to no avail. I did find that BMW cars have an app in their onboard computers that warn of rough roads but thats about it.

Sounds like a feature that could easily be integrated into Waze.

I did stumble on this that app that looks pretty cool but says for Android only (I’m an iPhone guy) and seems to still be in its infancy stage.

http://intro.roadbounce.com/

The Android phone can record road vibration and shares it with the app similar to Waze and traffic. It looks like it is a bit ahead of its time but may be something that becomes more mainstream in the future…

I wish it was here now :-)

How could an app like that possibly ever keep up with accurate information? Every road in the country is underconstuction somewhere & what's not needs to be.
A bit off topic, but read somewhere that road maintenance monies were going to be spent adding EV charging stations every 50 miles on the major roadways, how 'bout figuring a way for
EV owners to be taxed the same as ICE owners are at the pump before we start spending that money.
