Great idea, borderline unusable
I really want this app to be good but the most important function, directions that avoid Flock cameras simply is unusable. Enter your destination and it automatically tries to start you off from the destination. What? When/if you can finally get it to map a route, there are no turn by turn directions, and the map does not follow you consistently or accurately. On top of that, no car play. I would pay for this app if it worked, it’s. Literally only useful for seeing what cameras are near where you are standing.

Yeah navigation was not our primary focus; I've been directing people to FlockHopper or DriversAgainstFlock for that. DeFlock's app's main purpose is to make it easy to edit and submit map data. We have basic instructions at deflock.org/app
Notifications
Under advanced settings it says notifications are disabled but they are turned on in the app settings and always use location is checked.
Uninstalled and reinstalled - does not resolve.

Login Troubles
I love the purpose of the app, and there are 3 flock cameras in my city that I want to add to the map. Unfortunately, every time I try to log in through the app nothing happens. It pulls up a white screen and no amount of reloading will fix it. I really want to contribute to the map but I can’t at the moment.

That's odd - are you using a VPN or anything? Can you load OpenStreetMap.org in a browser normally? Shoot us an email if you continue having trouble - happy to take a look.
Notifications not working
This is generally a nice app, but the notifications do not appear to work, at least with the most current version of iOS. Even though I have enabled notifications for this app, the toggle in the advanced setting says that notifications are disabled. Also, the dialogue indicates that notifications will still appear when the app is running, although they will not appear when the app is running in the background. This does not work either. My main interest in using this app is to be informed when I am approaching a camera, so I hope this is resolved quickly. By the way, I am using the latest version of this app.

Possible Optimization?
There is a location I frequent. However in order to avoid flock cameras the amount of miles goes from around 10 to 30 miles just to avoid cameras. But, it’s possible that I have false hope, but it looked like for my specific location, it wasn’t well-optimized, as in the amount of distance could’ve been shortened without interacting with a Flock Camera. If there is a way to resolve this. I’d be very grateful. Regardless, THANK YOU to whoever created this app.

Check out the FlockHopper app - friends of ours who are doing a much better job with the navigation stuff.
