NONE of the cameras showed any video AT ALL! **Developer response:** Hey, what sector of California are you looking at? ### 1/5 — Live *2020-06-17* I want video feed not still images **Developer response:** Sorry, maybe in the future I will look into video feeds. ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2019-12-01* This is the kind of app that we need more of!!! Quick, to the point, responsive. Great job!!! ### 3/5 — Just pics? *2018-11-30* Is it supposed to be live feed our just pictures? **Developer response:** Just pictures right now. ### 1/5 — CRAP *2017-07-13* Second review in response to your e mail I downloaded the updated version and all cameras are still BLACK. **Developer response:** "All" cameras are not black. Cameras can be black for police activity, maintenance, etc. The same goes for the official Caltrans Quick Map app. In some places, like the downtown LA area, I agree, many of the cameras are black or white with no image, but that does change, and that is documented in the app in the Readme section. Check out the 24-hour camera archive on some cameras and see that they go from black to working and back to black. It's sometimes useful to know for what periods a camera goes black. This situation may improve in the future. ### 5/5 — Wanna see what's happening b4 u go?? *2016-11-01* This a great app to check traffic before it happens. If you'll gotta check times before you do a photo shoot in LA, ayyy this is yo app. ### 5/5 — Great app just got better *2015-12-31* The developer is responsive, fixes issues right away, explains future developments and replies quickly. Easily worth the .99 cents. I'll be purchasing his California Wild Fire app as soon as fire season hits again. ### 1/5 — Ad free??? *2015-12-24* I paid .99 for the "ad free version". I STILL have ads! What's up? **Developer response:** Please try the latest version. If you want a refund, I'd be happy to give you one. ### 4/5 — Good app *2015-12-14* Works well, very responsive developer ### 1/5 — Live ? *2015-11-21* Said live not live cams **Developer response:** I've changed the wording to reflect this now. Traffic camera images from Caltrans are, in many cases, a minute or less old. ## Frequently asked questions about California Traffic Cameras ### What is California Traffic Cameras?
