Ratings and reviews

This was a decent app for local traffic issues, but it seems to be going downhill. With the most recent update, they removed the option to bring the video up fullscreen, which is crucial - you often can't tell what's going on otherwise. I keep my phone locked in Portrait mode, so it's a totally unnecessary hassle to turn that on just for one DOWNGRADED app. Update: On 12/17/25, the app quit working on Android, and of course, no contact info for support.

The overhaul done a few months ago is worse than the old app. Incidents are constantly in the wrong location on the map and the map view always resets when you open the app. There's now so much wasted space due to the fixed toolbars that do nothing for you 95% of the time despite Locations being duplicated in Settings.

Opened the app today and there are no cameras showing up. There isn't any info on accidents or other incidents. The map is just showing supposed traffic conditions. Nothing else is working.
