Ratings and reviews

Needs work to be more useful. The GPS route avoidance function is so clunky and delayed. The map doesn't rotate while in use so you can't tell which direction you need to turn. The delay in your location on the map will cause you to miss turns. The camera locations seem accurate but not having a reliable GPS map while in use is extremely frustrating.

Good to know app. But only putting 4/5 stars because the app only lists eight different camera options compared to the browser map, being the most common ones, and there's no 'Unknown' option, essentially forcing people to put 'Flock Safety' as a default, which would distort the actual number of known cameras out there. Needs an update for this. For anyone else, stay safe

My area doesn't have as many ALPRs as it does live surveillance feeds, can I still document those? Also, I think that if the navigation in FlockHopper and DriversAgainstFlock are good alternatives from friends, maybe there should be a small endorsement of them in the settings by navigation.

What’s new

- Fix FOV-only changes not registering as a change.
- Fix notifications to aid in removal of nonexistent cameras; still basic radius check.
- Track and notify on recent changeset comments, add a "new notifications" popup message.
