Ratings and reviews

App doesn't work. can't navigate, only shows devices in a small area downtown, wont show the devices that I can see from my driveway, navigation says start and destination are too close together, cant change destination and it doesn't seem to be able to use my location at all, taking me to sanfrancisco whenever I open it.

This app is spectacularly easy to use. Within 5 minutes I was downloading the camera locations and trying out the navigation. My only comments for the developer is that I would love a way to save/name a handful of locations in user settings to more easily navigate to home or work.

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.
