### 2/5 — Rarely works

*2025-06-06, version 3.3.4*

This app is good when it works correctly. Cameras don’t always work, their operations are inconsistent. Camera operators constantly changing angles, not to mention the description of camera and what they actually see are misleading.

### 3/5 — horrible UI but does the job

*2025-01-05, version 3.3.3*

Serves the purpose for traffic cams but the UI looks like it's from 2009. Like I don't think it's had a refresh since the first ever iPhone. MODOT & KDOT - please hire literally anyone with just a little app design experience to take this to the next level 🙏

### 2/5 — Signs

*2024-07-09, version 3.3.2*

Won’t open… it just closes the app!!

### 4/5 — Serves it's purpose

*2024-01-12, version 3.3.1*

The app does what it needs to; it allows people to view messages, alerts, and cameras. I have very few issues with it, however, I wish they'd update the UI to match modern phones. The nav bars are huge and the app is letterboxed, as if it is simulating an iPhone 6.

### 4/5 — Cannot get into

*2021-10-13, version 3.2*

I cannot get into the cameras. Has been a couple days. Please fix as I use it constantly.

### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2021-02-09, version 3.2*

The keyboard covers the “Log In” button so you can’t sign in. Also it doesn’t tell you what your user name is after you register.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2020-03-13, version 3.1.1*

You morons... the login keyboard covers up the logging button... so there is no way to login!!!  Move the logging button up towards the top of the screen.  

Did any of you even beta test your software?

### 3/5 — Latest Update no Good

*2019-10-17, version 3.1.0*

I love the app but this last update screwed up the view. The letters are to big for the cells they are in. Please fix

### 2/5 — Live cameras broke in iOS 13

*2019-09-23, version 2.0*

You guys are supposed to update your code to keep up.

### 1/5 — Junk app

*2018-06-09, version 2.0*

Shows only map. No alerts or anything else. Does not show backups, accidents. Worthless waste your f space

### 1/5 — Never works

*2018-02-08, version 2.0*

This app only works about 1x a week. I try to check traffic every day before rush hour, and there is almost always an error. I have the latest version, and latest version of iOS. Please fix the app!

Edited to add after I read other reviews...only works on WiFi. Well, that is not helpful if you are in your car

### 1/5 — App is completely non-functional

*2017-12-21, version 2.0*

I suspect that Scout changed a server or address that the app uses, but this app is absolutely broken.   It doesn't get any data from the server... No cams, no sign data, no incident data.  I've been trying more than 30 days so it doesn't appear to be a temporary problem.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-07, version 3.3.4*

Can’t see ANY of the traffic cameras…

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-12-01, version 3.3.4*

Never loads and constantly crashes.

### 1/5 — Only haves cameras in KC

*2025-01-05, version 3.3.3*

As noted in the title, the only cameras available are in Kansas City. I'll update my review once additional cameras are added in other locations other than KC

### 1/5 — It does NOT work

*2024-07-10, version 3.3.3*

I downloaded the updated app now that the cameras are functioning. Well, the cameras may now be working BUT THIS APP IS NOT!!

EVERY time I open the app and select a camera,  the APP CRASHES!!!!! 
Why is an update posted that is not functional? I wish I could give it NEGATIVE stars!!!  I have an iPhone 14ProMAX and 
IT also doesn’t work on my IPad Pro.  

WHAT A JOKE!!!

### 1/5 — no longer works with my device

*2024-06-13, version 3.3.1*

worked flawlessly on my iPhone 13 pro max but I upgraded to the iPhone 15 pro max and now the app is broken.  phone is running most current ios (17.5.1) and the app is updated.  the app opens but only shows a map, no camera icons are there so i can’t view any cameras and the incidents page is empty too.  hope they fix this I MISSED WHEN THIS APP WORKED

### 1/5 — Well??

*2024-06-10, version 3.3.1*

Are they bringing the cameras back online or is the app dead??

### 1/5 — Upset

*2023-05-27, version 3.2*

Why is it that not only can I login in on app but can on website? You given options but have not upgraded so it’s user friendly.?

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-05-12, version 3.2*

Will not work, will not let you use your log in! Why is this still available?

### 1/5 — App is not loading any cameras at all

*2023-03-13, version 3.2*

I’m using the app for the first time in o er a year and it’s not loading any camera data at all.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me login

*2021-08-19, version 3.2*

I’ve got my account set up. I never got a confirming email. It would not let me login. Big disappointment and I was going to use this.

### 5/5 — Real time traffic

*2025-01-05, version 3.3.3*

What’s not to like? Real time traffic and road conditions via traffic camera. Unless someone out methin’ around steals the power cables for copper this service is fantastic!

### 5/5 — Cameras

*2024-07-10, version 3.3.2*

When ever i click one of the cameras it takes me out the app?

### 5/5 — Great to check road conditions

*2022-03-11, version 3.2*

This worked great to check road conditions after snow storm.   I could check roads several places along my planned route.

### 5/5 — Great help in bad weather!

*2022-02-17, version 3.2*

I love this app! When it’s bad on the roads, I can pull up cameras where I need to travel and judge whether I want to drive or not. 

Some of the old reviews that rated it low should be removed as they aren’t relevant 4 years later.

### 5/5 — Comes in handy!

*2021-03-11, version 3.2*

Never had issues with the app and has definitely assisted in being able to quickly check routes for incidents. Camera views are a huge plus.

### 5/5 — Update your app!!!

*2019-02-19, version 2.0*

iPhone XS Max been out for four months now... the app still looks like it’s for a iPhone 6-8... please update the app to fit the screen.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-02-17, version 2.0*

I don’t understand all of these bad reviews because I’ve had no problem with the app whatsoever. It always works great, I can check out traffic and how the roads look when there’s inclimate weather. I keep showing my friends and encouraging them to download it.

### 5/5 — Live Cameras!

*2017-12-26, version 2.0*

All I wanted was to be able to easily navigate a map and view the various live webcams around the KC Metro area. This app delivered that. I wouldn’t use it for anything else, TBH. If you’re looking for incident reporting, use maps/google maps/waze. If you wanna check cameras though, this app’ll be your huckleberry!

### 5/5 — Great app since update for iOS 10

*2017-07-20, version 2.0*

Update on 7/20/17 resolved the loading issues I was having. Can even see live video feeds now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The app won't even load data now. 
When the app worked, it worked well. Perhaps updates will make it usable again.

### 5/5 — Great access to roads

*2016-01-19, version 1.0*

This app is invaluable in bad weather times, not to mention fun to look at.  

Not sure if the N, S, E, W on the cameras refers to the direction the camera is facing but it seems so.  Therefore, the I35 N at 127th camera is actually a south facing camera so the label needs corrected.
