Recommended!!

What a happy discovery! Love the turn by turn directions and route preview. Thank you for developing this app! Suggest the road names to be in larger font or darker. Even after zoom-in the street names stayed tiny! Would like the ability to plot my own route w/o magnification.

Great, but has flaws

A great app if you want to try and drive without having your 4th amendment rights violated. That being said, its frequent freezes when you miss a turn and the need to stop and restart directions (at least on CarPlay), the lack of a search history, and the needlessly complicated directions it gives occasionally could be improved.

Tiny symbols and letters, dangerous/confusing routes &

I really wanted to like this app and to use it as my only GPS app. I can’t due to some prevalent issues

It isn’t possible to click on directions to see street names and map out your route turn by turn. The route symbols and street names on the maps are comically small. What is this, a GPS for ants?!?!

It doesn’t properly name rotary exits and has recommended I go the wrong way for a turn off a route to get directly back on it (even though there were no flock cameras to avoid???)

I use this app 20% of the time I need to navigate somewhere. I wanted it to be 100% of the time, but after many driving mishaps and struggling to read what route or street I’m on, I’ve decided my safety and navigational awareness is more important than protecting my privacy in an increasingly surveilled state

Awesome app!

Just what we all need at this time! Works extremely well! One feature suggestion. Add functionality to count number of times you’ve been flocked in a drive (but not a preplanned route). Maybe start/stop button? When you get to destination, you can check the stats?

Amazing app

Just found this app and it was perfect. Didn’t see one flock camera on my drive. I have recommended this to everyone I know within the last half hour. One thing just to nitpick since it’s already pretty perfect is a way to save addresses and a way to suggest where a flock camera is/ not an accessible road the directions are trying to take you. Over all 10/10 will be recommending!

Great concept, but navigation needs improvement.

The app does an excellent job of displaying where Flock cameras are located!
However, the roadmap and navigation still need improvement.
During my drive, the app direct me towards a closed road because the
closure wasn’t reflected on the map. When I chose a different route, it also did not re-route me efficiently. (I’m not sure whether this was caused by my connection, GPS, or the app itself, but there was noticeable lag.
Overall, the camera-location feature works well, but more accurate road information and faster re-routing would make the app much better!

App is excellent

This GPS does exactly what I need it to do. I also really enjoy that you can choose if you want to do the faster route or the private route (most of the time it’s about a 2-5 minute difference to avoid cameras). Re-routing is a little bit finicky but really not a big deal. 10/10 really enjoy this app.

will cause an accident

This app and beta does what it does well but the dev has a lot work to do. U-Turns are hardly recognized when performed and consistently breaks functionality. Rerouting also does the same.
Previous destinations aren’t in a dropdown. You can’t just leave this app on like Waze,apple maps, google maps or if your car has a nav (boycott Waze pls) and have an intuitive need for speed like mini map while you are driving. I

Bluetooth and Wifi need to be on for the best accuracy but that doesn’t change anything with accuracy and contradicts privacy element of this app. Especially with the advent of BT/WIFI scanners being embedded into flock cameras. We should be able to use it without those BT/Wifi settings being on if this app is truly marketing privacy.

Perfect For Avoiding

This app is absolutely perfect for trying to avoid flock cameras, and still getting to your location in a relatively short time. It takes a lot of of stress out of trying to figure out one where the flock cameras are into where you need to go to avoid the certain direction they are facing. For example, this app has made it where it’s able to cut between two flock cameras that are pointing two separate directions, but still be able to cut through to get to my location faster than what I would’ve recognized to do! I really do love this app. I think it is a very good resource, especially if you’re trying to protect your privacy against this corporation and it works hand-in-hand with DeFlock as well so overall I say it’s a great app.

Absolutely necessary, extremely easy to use.

What an amazing concept! In an age where government wants to know everything about everyone and completely disregards the Constitution, apps like this are utterly vital. Please, everyone support this developer. He will need all the money he can get to stave off the inevitable lawsuits.

Suggestion - Report Police (similar to WAZE)

4/5 stars I genuinely love this app. The only improvement I suggest is to let people report police on the roads and this would be the best navigation app and the only one I would use.

Add multiple stops?

It makes it infinitely easier to avoid cameras, but would make it a lot better if it were possible to add multiple stops

Great App

App functions as one would want and it's by far the best I've used for the purpose. Definitely recommend it to all my homies. Only things I want are dark mode, and carplay. That's just me being extra and...as is, this app is fantastic.

Almost there!

Great app however I always have issues with rerouting. Whenever I miss a turn in either the privacy or fast route it freaks out and never adjusted. I use this app while riding my motorcycle well, I try to. I had multiple instances where I had to pull over in a parking lot or the side of the road to download google or Apple Maps to get to my destination.
When it works it’s absolutely amazing I’m curious if “axon”cameras are being considered or any plans for more surveillance!
This app is needed in the time of surveillance bypassing our 4th amendment. I’m happy to support this app and everyone who uses this app should feel the same way

Efficient and works well

If you don’t already know, flock safety cameras have been used to track every move that you make, and because of their extremely low security, it is possible for hackers to tap into the data and use the data to track you, not to mention police have had numerous cases of falsely accusing people of crimes they did not commit. The company claims that they only keep information about vehicles and license plates, however this is false. Do your research, but in the meantime, get this app. To just avoid the cameras altogether so you can keep your privacy and not have to worry about either being falsely accused of a crime by the police or tracked by criminal hackers. Wildly unreal that this kind of low security surveillance is even legal considering the surveillance itself is already violating the fourth amendment.

Very good idea

Idea is awesome and super cool but just a couple minor tweaks like dark mode and more accurate times given for arrival or maybe being able to favorite spots/places. Overall I’m sure this will come out with time so I’ll give it 5 stars

Pin options and map view

If a person sees a camera and wants to report it, is it possible to put a link in the pin drop functions? Like Waze with hazard reporting options? Also, when I zoom in the see the name of the road and it shrinks to fit the area, I get it but makes it extremely hard to see the name of the road. Had me looking at a place in Maryland instead of Virginia until I used a magnifying glass to see what it said. Also, is it possible to have a satellite image for the map view? Makes it much easier to spot landmarks instead of odd geometric shapes on a plane.

Needs WORK

This app is a great concept but you need to KNOW your routes because FlockHopper doesn’t, for instance instead of telling you an exit number she telling you to exit off of an expressway, it will say “keep right”. It also treats roads with multiple lanes and a median as roads with turns. Very confusing app that is so very close to perfected. You guys need to drive around with it and see the glitched in real time

American AF

The whole premise of this is excellent and was gonna come about one way or another. I would like to replace Waze with this if some other features could be added like police reports and traffic updates. Keep up the great work, stay free!

De-Flock the Block

I’ve been using the App for at least a week now and It’s Completely Legit. Flock Cameras are a crime against Humanity and this App is Protecting our rights as We drive through our Country.
