Can't get signed in.

Creating an account, requires you to go to OpenStreetMap and create a new account there. Then when you sign in anywhere, you are expected to confirm a verification email. That email takes a while to get, and I've tried like five times and get stuck in a never-ending loop of confirmation emails that the system does not take.

It would be great if we could sign in directly to the app itself without the hook to the OpenStreetMap website, which just causes further work.

I wanted to add a new node, and was unable to now.

Are you tired of authoritarian demagogues pretending that your rights don’t exist? Do you feel the need to step up and cheese some solar panels? Whelllll then THIS is the app for you! See flock camera positions with user generated GPS data, plan a route to a camera near you if you’re up for some cheesing, and report new flock cameras that aren’t on the map yet! If you feel like you’re being spied on, “flock around and find out!” Stay safe out there, and GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇺🇸 🦅 *eagle screech* *anthem concludes*

Flock Safety is a threat to American values and freedom

Run by an unaccountable child sociopath who depicts people who fight for our right to privacy as terrorists. These “people”, born with silver spoons in their mouths and a disdain for the society around them that they steal from to fund their existence, don’t even have the lived experience to run companies and say such unaccountable things. It needs to stop. DeFlock forever

Won’t let me set separate start and end locations

Every time I try to select a place I want to go to and choose route to or route from it automatically says that the locations are too close before even allowing me to choose the other end of the route. If I try to put in the location I’m starting from it does this and if I try to put in the location that I’m trying to go to it does this. I visited the website yesterday and didn’t have this issue, but i just downloaded the app and it has this problem.

Response from developer

You should be able to drag the map, search for the second location, or enable GPS to center on yourself if you first selected your destination. That said, DeFlock app is pretty bad at navigation. We've been suggesting people try FlockHopper and DriversAgainstFlock; both developed by friends of ours, both developed with navigation in mind, and both use the same data from OpenStreetMap.

Text Size

I love this app but I need the road names to not get small again when I zoom in. Is there a way to make the text size big so I don’t have to take screenshots to zoom in and see the road names? I didn’t find anything in the user guide and if it’s in the settings somewhere I must have missed it. Go figure lol

Response from developer

We will switch from raster map tiles to vector tiles someday. Once that's done, we will be able to offer this. On the roadmap - just pressed for time. Thanks for the review :)
