App sucks

Constantly putting me in the wrong direction. Still driving by flock cameras. Doesn’t save places you’ve put in to go to.

Needs more recognition 🙌

This is a great app it’s for the people and shows everyone where the cameras are hiding and they are tracking us it is good to know where they are at at all times and to let the people decide if they want to be tracked or not I hope this app gets more recognition it is an awesome app and has a really amazing gps system built into it. And it can also have u avoid the cameras even while driving to the same place as u would usually drive past them. God bless everyone and this app is amazing.

Great App for Surveying

Love the aspect of the app, and privacy. I would LOVE to have it on Carplay, if that’s at all possible

Excellent

This works so much better than the two other apps that I’d tried before this one, yet it uses some of the same, solid and familiar source data. The usability is great and the private routes are effective without becoming extra avoidant, therefore inefficient. I’m a happy new user and supporter. ✊

What an idea

Man, so happy somebody also had this idea and made the app already. 10/10 usability. Suggestion: add CarPlay as a paid feature, and remember recent destinations/favorites automatically

FAQ

What makes FlockHopper different from other navigation apps?

FlockHopper offers a unique feature by generating two routes for each trip: the fastest route and an alternative route that specifically avoids known automated license plate reader (ALPR) camera locations. This provides users with an option to minimize their exposure to surveillance.

Does FlockHopper have ads?

No, FlockHopper is ad-free. The app explicitly states it has no ads, no third-party trackers, and no data sales, prioritizing user privacy.

How accurate is the ALPR camera data in FlockHopper?

The ALPR camera data is community-sourced and its coverage can vary by region. It may not always be complete or current, so it's important to remember that FlockHopper is a tool for reducing exposure, not a guarantee.

Is FlockHopper available on Android devices?

Currently, FlockHopper is only supported on iPhone devices. The app's supported devices list specifies 'iphone' as the only platform.

What is the age rating for FlockHopper?

FlockHopper has an age rating of 17+. This is likely due to the nature of its privacy-focused features and the potential for users to be concerned about surveillance.

The latest version of FlockHopper, 1.2.2, was released on June 16, 2026, indicating regular maintenance and updates. The app was initially released on April 22, 2026.
