Ratings and reviews

It's super easy to navigate the app. It also makes it SO insanely easy to see all the cameras and detectors nearby, and to drop one that you find that isn't on the map. There are tons I never even knew about.

haven't opened yet, but the detailed replies from the devs are a breath of fresh air. They're also encouraging, because I believe that unlike many, their enthusiasm(it shows) won't be wasted. looking forward to getting to know the app. Reading Dev replies here, I've already learned something about OSM & am now currently mapping all park benches in New England 🤙🏼

have added cams online as well as thru the app... the app is easiest hands down. cant sing praises of deflock enough. sucks that we have to take this into our own hands, but good to see people fighting against flock and similar companies
