Use it every day, but....

Updates have dragged down the user experience. This used to be my favorite app for navigation, mainly due to real-time traffic based re-routes. Very useful and accuracy was hard to beat. However: the most recent iOS updates have changed mapquest for the worse. Things I dont like:
-App absolutely refuses to account for road closures. There are 2 on my commute. I cant find a way to let the app know of the closures - the feature isnt working for me. I use the app for time-based routes to avoid traffic delays. I mean, I know the street is closed. But the detour makes a difference of several minutes. So the accuracy is just not great!
-the "options" button is hidden somewhere now. When I want to get a route avoiding highways, cant do anymore because dont have time to play hide and seek. Interface changes not helpful.
-Ditch the "route is yours" message! I dont understand the point. Maybe right after a major update, it would make sense to educate the user about follow which is a simple GPS feature and not a feature unique to this app. However, I hate having it pop up EVERY time I jump ahead to see the next steps. Really really annoying and unnecessary.
-Recent updates have affected the startup speed. The app is pretty slow to open. I already have to press "directions" then look up recents, then select, then "get directions!" (Redundant) then "start" ...it takes too long.
Im quite literally lost without my old trusty mapquest and I hope these negatives are addressed soon- especially bringing accuracy and speed and real time back up to par.
