Love the idea, but the app could be so much better

I’ve been using this app from 2022 until early 2026. The idea behind it is fantastic because it allows citizens to report traffic violations by uploading photos. It’s a great way to promote road safety and public participation. Unfortunately, the execution hasn’t lived up to the concept.

One question I’ve always had is whether these reports are actually reviewed by police officers or if they’re handled entirely by an automated system. It often feels like image clarity matters more than whether the traffic violation itself is clearly documented. Most of my reports have been accepted, but after that, there’s no transparency about what happens next or whether any action is taken.

The app also hasn’t received a meaningful software update in years. I’ve seen many App Store reviews suggesting a reward or incentive system to encourage more people to report traffic violations, and I think that’s an excellent idea. Even a small incentive, such as ₹10 for every 100 verified reports or something of similar value, could encourage more people to participate while helping improve road safety. Rewards should only be given for verified reports to discourage spam and false submissions.

More recently, in 2026, I haven’t been able to log in using either my Indian phone number or my email address, even though I already have an account. Not being able to access the app is extremely frustrating. Looking through the App Store reviews, I’ve noticed many other iOS users reporting the same login issue.

This app has tremendous potential, but it needs active maintenance, better transparency about what happens to submitted reports, and fixes for the ongoing login problems. I sincerely hope the developers invest in improving and reviving it because the concept is too good to be neglected.

Does not work

No option to register nor the login works.. this app does not work in IOS

Traffic violation

It’s a great app to report any violation seen by the public. Recently it’s not taking the location by itself if moved away from the location. Also multiple photo option is needed for reporting vehicles without number plate.

Bangalore badly needed this app

Simple UI to report traffic violations. Don’t be disheartened initially when you don’t get a response. BTP takes about 15 days to a month to review. I sincerely hope a day would come when Bangalore won’t need this app.

Funny Rejection remarks of violations posted

Well, after a long snooze time Public eye is responding to violations posted. Im amazed on rejection remarks. In a violation where both rider and pillion of a scooter were not wearing helmet, I posted 2 violations-one for rider and another for pillion. One got accepted and another rejected saying image is blur (for the same photo) 😀. Looks like the staff plays like a Multiple choice questions and chooses some random answer 🤣. Similarly for other photo (not wearing helmet) which was clicked in bright day sunlight , rejected saying violation not visible (open your eyes and see man..🤪)
