Defunct App

You took my money even though the webcams are no longer available on your site! How do I get a refund? This app is useless now.

Great resource

Works as advertised. Convenient and easy to use. There are some negative reviews that do not reflect the apps current functionality. I appreciate the convenience of accessing DriveBC info without needing to navigate their awkward website on mobile. Well done!

No cameras

The camera images never appear when I try to use this app. I rely heavily on the images when I travel into the mountains and was disappointed by the uselessness of this app. I wish I could get my money back!!

Ok

Good traffic cam image quality. List view is just text — individual favorite cams should be better separated for clear ID.

Better yet, and for the love of humanity, allow the user to manually shuffle the favorites order of appearance.

Even better still, build a feature whereby favorites can be organized by customized trip name folders (eg. Nelson to Radium). That would make searching for relevant cams soooo much easier.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. You can manually change the order of your favorite traffic cameras, press the List button on the Favorites tab, then the Edit button - this allows you to drag the cameras into the order you wish.

Don’t Buy

This app doesn’t work. Nothing comes up when you “search” for something. It’s just a map with my GPS. Total fail!

Response from developer

I'm sorry. The app was not working for a few weeks due to a change in the data feed. It has now been fixed. In future please email me direct (button in app) so I can response quickly, thanks.

Doesn’t Work

Buggy and useless

Look at last update and other reviews. This app does not work. Should be removed from App Store.

Don’t buy this!

Not even sure why Apple hasn’t removed it. Doesn’t work

Response from developer

The app is working fine, it reports incidents and shows traffic cameras. If you have a specific issue can you contact me directly, either through the button in the app (on the settings tab) or email me at: andy@coderun.net, thanks

Not as stated

Where are the cameras? This is pretty useless without road cameras. Not worth the cost. Don't buy, waste of money. Deserves a zero rating

Response from developer

To access the cameras: On the 2nd tab (Map) press the camera button, this will display all the cameras on the map (you may need to zoom out depending on where on the map you are looking). Then touch one of the camera icons on the map and you will see a live video of the road. I hope this helps.

No cameras showing

Worked great at home, now on the road it says “no cameras showing, zoom out” and I am including the entire Greater Vancouver area. I have cellular on. All the rest of my internet is working fine. Not helpful to me if I can’t see webcams. 🤷‍♀️

Fails to function fully

Traffic does not work. Incidents fail to update despite manual efforts. The primary benefit of the app is rapid access to traffic cams and their shown location.

Not on top of accidents.

The info to the public is painfully slow. I would not recommend this app at all.

Recently purchased. Doesn’t work.

Don’t buy this app

The map feature never worked and the incident list obtains un reliable, not always updatable information. I wish I didn’t buy this broken app and I think you would agree

Excellent and fast!

Love it and its only been 20 minutes. It has every camera I would look for on drive bc. Im not sure what everyone else is complaining about.
WAY FASTER then going to the drive bc website.
Thank you.

New updates rendered cameras and traffic useless

Since update the Ontario and BC maps both show as Ontario roads map only. The traffic and or cameras no longer show up. There is no contact portion to ask for assistance.

Response from developer

The cameras in the app are working fine. There is a contact button on the Settings screen, alternatively you can email me at: andy@coderun.net to explain in more detail/send me a screenshot- I am keen to help you.

Useless to me!

I wasted $3.12 for this app which is basically useless - no cameras are showing in my area (which is not a village!) and traffic problems are shown 80+ km away from me even though traffic in my area is constantly @ a standstill, what use is that to me?? Would never purchase this again, no idea where the positive reviews are coming from, don’t believe it!

Tried contacting the developer for this app who responded to my review above - there is NO “facility” in the app where you can do that! There are “0” cameras showing in the app (I live in Vancouver) and ALL traffic updates are days and weeks old and usually 40+ kms away - they are also never current, bogus app & waste of $$$. Had to go back to my local news station app which is free and traffic issues are more accurate than this scam!

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear you are disappointed with my app. The app shows all the cameras available from British Columbia DriveBC, is there a particular one missing? The app also just shows current incidents, again as reported by DriveBC, so if they are not reporting congestion in your area than I'm afraid it won't be in the app. If you would like to discuss further please contact me via email, there is a facility in the app.

Excellent

This app is an excellent. Very useful if you are driving in BC.

It's okay

Access to limited number of traffic cameras and no really time updates.

Kilometres please!!

If this is for Canada why is it in miles instead of kilometres???

Response from developer

Many apologies, I'm in the UK and didn't realise Canada uses KM rather than miles. Will change for the next app update. Thanks for the feedback.
