Used to be a great, simple app -
Until somebody reinvented the wheel. Now the UI is cumbersome and the cameras take ages to ‘wake up’ and show video.
Cameras always down
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.
Disabled camera recording
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.
Please fix zooming
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!

Love the app
Especially cool how I can check the cameras Live to really see how traffic. I recommend for al Birmingham drivers
Dreaded updates
Sometimes things are just fine without always revamping. Like it better before camera view freezes and can’t find half the cameras anymore…
New version!
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.
Keep up the great work.
HARD TO REGISTER
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.
Won’t let me log in.
Works ok but I can’t log in so I don’t get alerts.
Good app
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.
Refresh Button Still Doesn’t Work
You have to close the app and reopen to get a current view. All the top reviews were years ago. No recent updates. Looser app.
Not working
All I am getting is that fact that there are rip tides. Cannot get road traffic at all.
Worst. App. Ever.
Completely useless app.
Trying to get home today, the app says “No Events Ahead” on my route. A mile later and traffic is at a standstill. Two hours later I am finally able to see the issue. It’s a multi-car accident. All the while the app is telling me “No Events Ahead.”
Useless.

Unable to see traffic crashes since app underwent “system maintenance”
I use this app when I’m traveling from Mobile to Birmingham, and back and ever since it underwent “system maintenance” I haven’t been able to view crashes. I hope this issue is resolved soon.
Much improved
App continues to improve - I like knowing which side of the road the accidents or road delays are located. We often are towing and it’s not that easy to be switching lanes in traffic with a 30 ft trailer behind you. I’d give it a five stars if the traffic cameras would show up on map (see the Tennessee app) for visiting cities where we don’t live and aren’t that familiar with street names and intersections to have a better clue as to which cameras to look at for information. (Dropped the rating to three stars after reading developer response - don’t want another account/app that I have to sign in and agree to be tracked with an email address attached to it - it’s not required in the several other states that I use regularly ). App layers option finally worked without having an account. Thank you

Response from developer
The camera layer on the app can be turned on and off by tapping the map layers button in the bottom right corner on the map screen (middle button looking like a stack of paper). This will show all cameras on the map. Edit: You don’t have to sign up for an account or anything to do what is outlined above. Not sure how any of what we said suggested that an account was required. What you want to do is very much possible in 2 taps no account required.
Deleting app
Unable to delete this app; so if one no longer wants it he is out of luck. One can delete the icon off the phone and disable the app under settings but the texts notices keep coming. Very annoying!!
Response from developer
The app can be deleted just like any other app and we do not send out any push notifications or anything like that from the app. I’m not sure what exactly is meant by ‘disabling’ the app in settings as that is not an option on iOS devices. Also, ‘deleting the icon’ uninstalls the app in its entirety from your phone. Please email capsmobile@ua.edu with more information so we can look into what may be causing the issue you’re having as I’m unsure what is meant by text notices.
Cameras undependable
Many of the cameras do not work much of the time, therefore more trouble than it is worth since have to keep clicking on a camera to locate one that is working in the area you interested (I am mainly interested in Mobile / Mobile Bay / Daphne area). Would be nice if you could tell which cameras not workng without having to first click on it, even better would be if they got the cameras to work. Nice in theory though.

Terrible
Downloaded the app. Can’t register. Won’t accept the PW I setup or the one the app sent me. Sad.
Great app
This app is great when on the road
No good
I have had this app for one year. My boss has the same app. I try to look at the cameras and mine doesn’t work 90% of the time bust my bosses works all the time. I believe it’s a waist time.
