What's New in Flocklight

1.1.4

September 18, 2026

Fixes the live position marker on the map. Your own position on the map could render as two separate pieces, with part of the marker drifting away from the dot while the map camera moved. It is now a single mark that stays locked to your coordinate. The closest-camera reticle had the same defect and is fixed too. Its spinning ring and lock pulse could slide off the camera they were locked onto. The position marker has also been redrawn so it stays legible over satellite imagery and is never mistaken for a camera pin, and it now reads out as "Your position" to VoiceOver.

User reviews

Clear attempt at abuse

The application is basically unusable. You claim this app is for people who want to be aware of their exposure to these cameras, but then the camera is a light gray 1px bubble on a dark gray map. That’s basically unseeable to the human eye. Also the loading bar, for when it thinks there is only 75 cameras in an area and is hammering OSM to pull new ones, is comically discrete and truncated in the first third. This little quirk really shows how much it was AI driven and how much you didn’t look at it. If you want people to pay, put in some work.

Cameras take forever to load

Just a money grab, it’s too bad, nothing is accurate

AI Slop Cashgrab

Edit: look at the AI response below. Thanks for responding to your criticism of overuse of AI with an AI slop letter. Do one thing for yourself man!


Nothing new here besides a “tacticool” theme and a bunch of AI slop. The onboarding fear mongers and claims data is kept for years. We don’t need fear mongering when the real system is bad enough.

Additionally the timeline intro shows cameras in places where none exist. The timeline evenly projects a surveillance grid across the entire US (even Montana) because it’s unguided AI slop.

Oh and you get a hard sell immediately on completing the on boarding.

Just some guy in AZ trying to make a quick buck on people’s anger about surveillance. Stick to the DeFlock app and FlockHopper. Save your money to donate to the fight.

Great Tracker

Really great app! Wow.

Best Tracking App

This is without a doubt the most comprehensive ALPR map available. You can file FOIA requests within the app, email city councils, and more.

Every essential feature is free, however the pro service is well worth it.

Thank you to the Flocklight team for putting this together!
