### 2/5 — Used to be a great, simple app -

*2026-01-26*

Until somebody reinvented the wheel.  Now the UI is cumbersome and the cameras take ages to ‘wake up’ and show video.

### 1/5 — Cameras always down

*2025-12-29*

Birmingham, I-20, I-459, I-59, US 280, are offline always. These are the busiest areas in the state and the system is worthless. Currently Shelby, Jefferson, and all the Eastern, Northeastern Counties are offline AGAIN and many have not been on the Algo App in years.

### 1/5 — Disabled camera recording

*2025-05-06*

I have been trying to use footage from one camera to help with an accident I had but every time I try to screenshot it record it cuts out and goes black.

### 3/5 — Please fix zooming

*2024-05-25*

In order to view traffic conditions on non interstate roads you must zoom in very close. In previous versions this did not occur. 

Otherwise the app is great!

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2023-12-01*

Especially cool how I can check the cameras Live to really see how traffic. I recommend for al Birmingham drivers

### 2/5 — Dreaded updates

*2023-11-29*

Sometimes things are just fine without always revamping. Like it better before camera view freezes and can’t find half the cameras anymore…

### 5/5 — New version!

*2023-11-27*

Hats off to the development team with the most recent release. New features work well and the layout is user friendly. 

Keep up the great work.

### 1/5 — HARD TO REGISTER

*2023-07-18, version 2.1.3*

I tried to register to use the app, but was told my username was already in use. Huh? How can it be already in use when usernames (i.e. email addresses) are unique? Also, got a 502 Bad Gateway page. Like state of Alabama roads, their websites are the worst in the U.S.

### 2/5 — Won’t let me log in.

*2023-06-17, version 2.1.3*

Works ok but I can’t log in so I don’t get alerts.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-12-27*

I use this app to check to see if roads are open and safe to travel. Also, if roads are closed, most auto insurance do not cover accidents so this is crucial information needed for both work and play.
