TrafficCamNZ L:ite is limited to displaying 4 images (6 on iPad) - this can be any 4 (6 on iPad) images of your choosing. Apple iAd advertising is included.

TrafficCamNZ displays internet accessable pictures of Traffic Cameras. You could use it for any image, even weather maps. Images you choose as "Featured" are downloaded and setup side by side so that you can swipe across the screen to view multiple images quickly.

App don’t work keeps closing each time ### 5/5 — Hi *2015-01-21* Proof if yo need to know about traffic ### 5/5 — 구입목록 삭제 부탁드립니다. *2014-04-19* 구입목록 삭제 부탁드립니다. ### 1/5 — Don't Waste Your Time *2014-03-01, version 1.6.2* Only shows California and the rest is all New Zealand and Australia. ### 2/5 — Useless *2013-11-30* Ok, so I need to find cameras on my own, and manually enter the URLs into this app? Makes the app fairly useless - cameras in the app aren't even sorted by city, in fact I can't even tell what city they are from, mor can I find cameras in my own city via the app. Fix this, rewrite it for better use ability and I'll give it another chance... For now, I'm deleting it, as it's totally useless on its own. ### 1/5 — Worthless!!! *2013-05-02, version 1.6.0* Every camera I try to open in Seattle says "image unavailable". Not much of an enticement to buy the upgrade. Deleted! ### 1/5 — Horrible!! *2013-02-20* According to the cameras that are never refreshed, my highways have zero traffic 24/7. It's like "The Walking Dead" ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2012-11-29, version 1.6.0* Waste of time ### 2/5 — ...... *2012-11-23, version 1.6.0* ....... ### 1/5 — waste of time *2012-11-10* Waste of time. Not even worth what you pay for the bandwidth to download it. This is a pure bait and switch. Of course you can buy extra add on that they claim will actually do something. ## Frequently asked questions about TrafficCamNZ Lite ### What does TrafficCamNZ Lite do?
