### 4/5 — Fixed!

*2026-08-16*

When I first downloaded this app it only showed London congestion, but after contact with the developer a new data source has been found and it now works UK-wide! Neat interface and easy to use, and I was impressed with the developer’s response. Only 4 stars rather than 5 because the now discontinued Highways England app used to have a “flow” option showing average speeds at motorway junctions, which would have been a useful feature here, but overall very happy.

**Developer response:** The app is now working again. The problem was due to the original data feed being discontinued. It has taken a while to find an alternative data source (from National Highways) and make the necessary changes to handle this. Many apologies for the inconvenience. Andy

### 5/5 — Don’t delete app!

*2026-01-25, version 8.0*

This is great! Please don’t delete the app!

### 2/5 — Poor service

*2025-12-22, version 8.0*

Not any good in my area M60 J21 as the cameras are always unavailable

### 4/5 — Helpful and informative

*2025-12-14, version 8.0*

Very good app considering national highways don’t have an official app. The only thing missing is the ability to tap on a delay and see, if any, which lanes are closed with a red X like the NH website.

### 4/5 — Cameras

*2025-11-25, version 7.9*

Your app is great, but could you please lean on the Highways Authority to carry out maintenance of their cameras, half the cameras in my area are either out of action or giving a view of the sky or ground.

### 3/5 — Was Helpful

*2025-09-02*

Used to show all the road works and closed roads all over the country.  It now doesn’t show all road closures. I have been caught out twice by road closures not shown on the App. This on main roads, not back lanes or country roads. Disappointing that it doesn’t work anymore.

### 2/5 — No use in Wales

*2025-08-25, version 7.9*

Cannot view any of cameras in Wales to gauge amount of traffic

### 1/5 — 1 week later…..

*2025-07-23, version 7.9*

I’ve had the App for a week, at first it worked fine & I was able to see the cameras on the map and view the images from those cameras.
The cameras are no longer visible on the map and I cannot see any images on my favourites list - saying that the cameras are unavailable.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-04-14, version 7.9*

It’s a great app but it would be soo good if you could see the traffic moving

### 2/5 — Cameras not working at all.

*2025-04-07*

Maps & Roadworks are fine but cameras are not showing anywhere. I have used UK Roads for some time but now I don’t seem to see any cameras either in their road positions or showing any visual traffic hold ups etc. I think I may well now delete this app. The camera icon is there for one to press but it has no effect.
