### 1/5 — Location not found bug

*2026-08-03*

Any photo uploaded is denied for location now. Earlier same photo was accepted. Please fix this issue. Why will I open camera in middle of the road and upload on app? We want the upload from gallery back with geolocation not getting stripped.

### 1/5 — Disastrous update: Removed gallery upload feature

*2026-07-16*

The latest update has completely ruined the usability of this app. Removing the ability to upload photos from the phone gallery makes no sense. Nobody has the time, or the safety, to stand in the middle of busy traffic, open the app, and report a violation right on the spot.
I usually capture photos of violations safely using my phone camera throughout the day and report them at the end of the day when I have time. By forcing the use of the live, in-app camera, you have made it impossible to report these violations later.
Please bring back the gallery upload option with strict backend metadata or GPS verification instead of disabling the feature entirely. You are just making it harder for citizens to cooperate with the traffic police.

### 1/5 — Unable to signup

*2026-07-16*

The app says update and when I come inside App Store to update there is no update. If a government app is so pathetic that it can’t even allow people to login and function properly then the entire process doesn’t meet any purpose. You’ve just created it for name sake.

### 1/5 — UX Improvement Required

*2026-07-12*

Making a complaint especially of perpetrators flouting law also means its very time based. The app’s design should be be made easy to do this. Following could be fixed:

Option to upload photo from gallery is required. The camera feature-on astram app can be slow and can result in blurred photos.

Option to first take photo and then do all categorisation. If i meed to make a complaint of a person jumping red light, i first have to open app, select the right category and then take photo as of now, by the time all this is done, the perpetrators would have left.

If possible auto identification of number plate

### 1/5 — Pathetic UI & UX

*2026-07-11*

This application is the reflection of the state of affairs in the Indian system. It tells you exactly what’s wrong with the whole system. Apps developed by amature developers from 7th and 8th standards will have better responses. I am unable to even enter my name and phone number and save my profile on the application which are actual starting steps of a registration on any application across the globe..!!!

### 5/5 — Very smooth. Much better than your typical government apps

*2026-07-04*

I was able to register the account and upload a traffic violation in a couple of minute. 0 issues encountered which is an achievement itself for a government app

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2026-05-23*

1. Can’t upload another violation instantly after reporting one, currently we have to wait for few minutes 
2. Try to scroll down too much to view previous submissions, the app crashes

### 2/5 — Image not available

*2026-01-08*

I have been fined for parking on main road, but not able to see the image/evidence.
When raising a dispute and mentioning the same, the app just logs out- happened more than 5 times.

### 3/5 — The app has lot of good features like maps, news, eaccident report, traffic fines and so on

*2025-12-15*

However the inbuilt public eye feature fails most of the time. The message only states that upload has failed without giving the reason why it failed. After lot of clicks it works at times. If this is fixed I’ll definitely give a 5 star :-)

### 4/5 — Allow to report from other Districts

*2025-10-27*

I have tried reporting from other district, it gets rejected saying out of BTP Jurisdiction.
