The problem was due to the data feed being discontinued and it has taken a while to find an alternative data source. Many apologies for the inconvenience, Andy ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2026-06-29* Keeps loosing current connection. The information displayed is often a day or so old. Not of benefit with old information. **Developer response:** The app is now working again. The problem was due to the data feed being discontinued and it has taken a while to find an alternative data source. Many apologies for the inconvenience, Andy ### 2/5 — Keeps shutting down *2021-12-17, version 3.0* Love the app but recently it continuously closes while using. ### 3/5 — 5 stars until now *2021-12-14, version 3.0* App is crashing every 3-5 minutes. Please update. ### 3/5 — Ok but could’ve much better *2021-01-29* For a paid app, I expected more. A couple of features I’d like to have are: 1) A way to sort the incident list. The distance is nice but I’d like to see sort by time (most recent), and even level. Combo sort would be good too like distance + time. 2) Be able to set up zones based on location. Sometimes I’d just like to know what’s going on around my immediate area or within 50 miles from me and not all across the state. ### 4/5 — Chanclas 69 *2019-11-25, version 2.0* I drive a truck in the LA area and find the app very helpful, needs work in some area but for the most part good! ### 2/5 — v$c *2019-05-11, version 2.0* I bought this for the cameras but it won’t load a single one. Wish I could get a refund. ### 2/5 — Live cameras *2019-05-06, version 2.0* Why are t the cams live why aren’t they video cams in stead of still images! ### 5/5 — Good app *2019-03-06, version 2.0* Good app I like it a lot ### 1/5 — This app is no good *2018-10-03, version 2.0* It is not like the original - total garbage ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lag *2026-07-08, version 4.0* This app used to be really good and now it’s not regularly updating. Right now the app shows me incidents that are 20 hours old. Nothing recent. Upon logging onto the official CAD page there’s plenty of recent calls. ### 1/5 — Very poorly made. My 2 year old could create a better app. *2025-05-19* Absolutely horrable. You can’t search for a specific location or date or accident . Nothing . Worthless ! Bought it 10 minutes ago and already deleted. Need refund. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2023-08-27, version 3.0* Unable to see anything on the cameras ### 1/5 — App stopped working a couple days ago *2022-03-27, version 3.0* Been a few days since the app updated. The CHP website is up and working. Seems the app stopped updating for some reason. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t update anymore *2022-03-27, version 3.0* March 2022. The latest incidents are over 2 days old and the app is no longer functional. ### 1/5 — Hardly Any Cams Work! *2021-02-27, version 3.0* Title says it all. Useless. ### 1/5 — Not worth the memory it takes up on your device. *2019-07-07, version 2.0* This used to be a great app. But it’s now severely lacking. It does not tell of crashes on the freeway with any accuracy. It seems like it just doesn’t update. That makes it worthless. ### 1/5 — Use your browser instead *2019-05-19, version 2.0* Don’t waste your money - cameras are horribly pixilated and even mountains are unrecognizable. The information can be found more easily using the CHP website. A major disappointment! ### 1/5 — Horribly inaccurate *2018-11-29, version 2.0* During recent snow storms, chain laws, and road closures everywhere. This app listed absolutely nothing the entire time. ### 1/5 — Not very good. *2018-10-30, version 2.0* Too hard to follow. I miss the old app. It was much easier to follow. I would prefer to have it broken down into CHP area office sections than by miles. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-08-12, version 4.0* Great App with great developers who fix problems 🏆 ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2022-03-29* This app is my go to app when it comes to most traffic back ups and large fires that break out across the state. The incident info is as detailed as can be excluding info not for the public eye. The cameras are also a go to when it comes to checking road conditions over the summits on I-80, I-5 North and Highway 50. The app has occasional issues however they are normally remedied by powering off/on my phone. I had an issue recently with the app not refreshing for two days. I contacted the app developer and he remedied the problem within hours. I wish other states were as forth coming with incident details as the CHP is. It makes driving a lot easier. ### 5/5 — Crashes constantly *2021-12-31* This just started about a week ago. Please fix it, I use it every day! Update: Now the camera function doesn’t work most of the time and it’s crashing more than ever. Latest update: I contacted the developer and just received an email that the camera issue had been resolved. It also appears that the issue with crashing has been fixed at least for now. Happy to be able to change my rating back to 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2021-07-19* Best traffic incident app I've found, I got a quick reply to a question, money well spent. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-03-02* This app is awesome but I think if it had notifications to nearby accidents would be awesome ### 5/5 — Ron *2020-01-07, version 2.0* Fully satisfied with app. Has been very useful in my travels ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2019-12-01, version 2.0* Awesome app ### 5/5 — Alerts *2019-10-30* Wish it would have a way to set up and send alerts on specific type of incidents. ### 5/5 — Road report *2019-09-19* I use this app 3 times a week as a Cber I give out morning report on traffic to fellow drivers ### 5/5 — I like it! *2019-03-14* It’s a nice app that should be free to the public but non the less it’s good to have some updates. The cameras could use some updates or replacement. Maybe that’s cal trans. So far so good. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
