### 2/5 — Love the idea, but the app could be so much better

*2026-07-10, version 4.2.13*

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.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-05-14, version 4.2.13*

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

### 5/5 — Traffic violation

*2024-11-27*

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.

### 5/5 — Bangalore badly needed this app

*2024-11-12*

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.

### 1/5 — Funny Rejection remarks of violations posted

*2024-04-22*

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..🤪)

### 2/5 — Inconsistent evaluation! not possible to capture entire violation in one photo!

*2024-03-16*

I have posted many complaints of cars and two wheelers parked in front if my gate blocking my access. But your review is inconsistent, sometimes resolved sometimes rejected even for exactly similar images! And there is no way to appeal your decision or contact you. You allow only one image so if a car is parked right in front of my gate, it is impossible to capture the license number and the no parking sign on my gate and then you reject it! Any vehicle parked parked fully or even partially in front of somebody’s gate has to be penalized! You should not reject. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Resolution can not be trusted

*2023-05-12*

Most of the time in case of Traffic violators are from Govt especially Police dept then the comment or action is not trustable. Dept has to share receipt details of that violation until then case status shouldn’t be resolved. Issue will be resolved once violator penalised, paid and receipt generated.

Until then it’s waste of time to take a snap and post. Dept people are the most who breach the rules. And one of police only told me that they can delete complaints from the server. 

Now is this really worth, trustworthy?

### 1/5 — Eh

*2023-04-22, version 4.2.10*

1. I doubt real people look through complains daily 
2. Cant even login once you log out of app it doesn’t sent OTP. I have messages and tweeted about this but no response

### 5/5 — Parking in front of others residences

*2022-11-27*

Bangalore Traffic Police has to register and fine offenders for parking in front of others residences. It’s a nuisance. When anyone visits, the space in front of our residences are unavailable to safely park due to others parking their vehicles.

### 2/5 — Needs greater seriousness

*2022-11-27*

Heavy vehicles including tourist busses and trucks are parked in residential areas and the complaint get rejected after 3 or 4 days sighting reasons that the “NO PARKING” board is not visible in picture . I would like to know if it is permitted to park heavy vehicles on short or long term basis inside the city and especially in residential areas. We need support more than description of loopholes in law . Also , swift action will be highly appreciated . It is indeed a very nice tool if utilised in an appropriate manner .
