### 5/5 — Awesome love it

*2026-06-22*

Well worth the privacy

### 5/5 — Amazing App!!

*2026-06-12*

For a solo dev this is amazing easy layout and simple to use!!

### 4/5 — Good idea room for improvement

*2026-05-24*

App is very cool concept. Easy to use and respects privacy. But crashes a lot and only offers one route and the directions don’t prompt timely enough for you to make turns safely. so it’s best to use to plan your route. It’s not fully functional as a gps just yet.

**Developer response:** Hi Brumsted, 

Thanks for the feedback! Could you send me more details about your issues with the app crashing? Since I don't track any data in the app, I rely on user reports to fix issues. Feel free to email me at flockhopper@openroadlabs.org. 

The delay in GPS location is an issue I'm actively working on, I'm hoping to roll out an improvement within a couple of weeks.

### 5/5 — privacy is for the people

*2026-05-22*

heck yeah. awesome app. truly doing a service to the public. PLEASE add real time traffic alerts and the ability to add when cops are ahead like you can on google. that and the ability to change voices. i need my British lady. if you can do those 2 things, this app would be absolutely perfect.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-05-17*

I was pulled over for having an expired tag by a few days because the stupid tag camera caught me. This app is awesome no more tracking of my vehicle when I go somewhere.

### 5/5 — Have your privacy

*2026-05-10*

This app is awesome

### 5/5 — THANK YOU 🙌

*2026-05-10*

Exactly what you need to start taking back your sovereignty rebuilding your privacy one step at a time!

(My 1st App Review Ever, since the creation of the App Store 10+ years ago)

Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — CAN WE PLEASE GET CARPLAY COMPATIBILITY

*2026-05-07*

CAN WE PLEASE GET CARPLAY COMPATIBILITY

### 5/5 — Keep up the good work

*2026-05-07*

Let’s get Flock out of our business

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-05-05*

Routing is wonderful. Please add CarPlay feature next. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Not practical for the majority of potential users without CarPlay

*2026-07-04*

My primary ride is a motorcycle, and until this app supports CarPlay I won’t use it. I won’t risk the death of my phone’s camera ever again to the vibration on my handlebars. My phone stays in my pocket. 

With that being said, with most modern cars having CarPlay at this point it’s not practical to setup your phone everytime you get in and out of your car just to run a map app adjacent to your CarPlay screen.

CarPlay is a necessary feature for map apps in 2026 that should’ve been available on day one, and not an after thought.

### 1/5 — App sucks

*2026-06-24*

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

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-11*

Routing issues.  Leads me through Flock Cameras every time even when on privacy mode.

**Developer response:** Hey Mason, 

Could you reach out and provide more details about your experience? I have not heard any reports of this happening in the 1 month since app launch. 

If the cameras are not mapped on OpenStreetMap, they can not be avoided. Once cameras are mapped, the routing engine will avoid them within 24 hours. 

Thanks!

### 1/5 — Not Flock Cameras

*2026-05-19*

They are marking any and all LPR units regardless of if they are actually Flock or not. I imagine they don’t care because more red dots probably gets them more green paper

**Developer response:** Hello, 

Thank you for the feedback. Apologies for not making the brands of ALPRs clear, I can see how the app name "FlockHopper" might imply that all nodes on the map are flock. The app includes all alprs mapped on OpenStreetMap. There is an update coming soon where you can see the details of each camera. 

In response to your "green paper" comment - I'm a solo dev who has spent months developing this FREE app. I encourage donations but I'm actually in the red... infrastructure costs exceed donations.

### 3/5 — Needs WORK

*2026-07-16*

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

### 4/5 — Suggestion - Report Police (similar to WAZE)

*2026-08-07*

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.

### 4/5 — Add multiple stops?

*2026-08-03*

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

### 4/5 — Almost there!

*2026-07-31*

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

### 4/5 — Pin options and map view

*2026-07-18*

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.

### 4/5 — Needs a CarPlay App

*2026-06-09*

App is great just needs CarPlay capabilities for easy use in vehicle

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-02*

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.

### 5/5 — Efficient and works well

*2026-07-25*

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.

### 5/5 — Very good idea

*2026-07-24*

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

### 5/5 — American AF

*2026-07-16*

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!

### 5/5 — De-Flock the Block

*2026-07-10*

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.

### 5/5 — High Quality Interface

*2026-07-07*

The best one visually, uncertain if they show all cameras but so far very accurate in my area as I've checked (Tacoma, WA).  Highly recommended but says not available for my IPAD only my iPhone .

### 5/5 — Needs more recognition 🙌

*2026-06-23*

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.

### 5/5 — Great App for Surveying

*2026-06-23*

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

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-22*

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. ✊

### 5/5 — What an idea

*2026-06-22*

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
