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.

Used to love this app. Now I can't get it to work at all this past week. I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times hoping that would fix it. Map displays but with no camera icons anymore. The "incident" tab perpetually says it's "loading". What is happening?

No longer has video, just black screens. Was working again after the hack to the system but not anymore Edit 11/30 - cameras on the app don't work again but are available on the website that works horribly on phones. Fix your app!!!!
