### 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

### 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

### 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. Derek

### 3/5 — Cameras?

*2025-02-17, version 7.9*

Just opened the app at home but cant see any camera icons anywhere.
Maybe I need better GPS reception? 
Have good wi fi.

### 2/5 — Can let us know

*2024-11-19, version 7.9*

not happy I pay for the service not working with the cameras why not?

### 3/5 — No more Welsh cameras

*2024-11-03, version 7.9*

All the cameras in Wales are blank. 
They are still available on the traffic.wales website so they are still broadcasting.

### 4/5 — TfL cybersecurity incident

*2024-10-19, version 7.9*

The TfL cybersecurity incident is what has caused the outage of the cctv feed guys not the iOS update

### 2/5 — IOS 18 update has killed it

*2024-09-30, version 7.9*

Was a handy app until recent Apple iOS 18 update ….not showing live cameras now  in London all TFL cameras 🎥 are OFFLINE 👎

### 4/5 — Lines

*2024-05-14, version 7.7*

Can someone please let me know what the red lines are for and the yellow lines as well

**Developer response:** The Traffic Wales cameras are now working again. I must apologise for the long delay in fixing this, this was due to a combination of waiting for the new data and other work/life commitments.

### 1/5 — Cameras in wales

*2023-12-02, version 7.7*

### 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.

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2025-04-02, version 7.9*

Local road closure not in evidence!  The app therefore is somewhat useless!

### 1/5 — V

*2025-03-03, version 7.9*

Very very good. Love the moving traffic videos.
I’ve had this app for years and still thinks it’s great app. Cameras don’t work anymore. Moving images don’t work anymore. Nothing in central London either

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-01-28, version 7.9*

I live in Wales and I thought this would be useful to see traffic cameras in my area. Every camera I’ve tried in Wales is blank.
It appears that cameras up to the border with England I can see; cross the border and alls I see is a black box.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-01-06, version 7.9*

Absolutely rubbish half the cameras are not working. The ones that do are not real time. Rubbish

### 1/5 — V

*2025-01-04, version 7.9*

Very very good. Love the moving traffic videos.
I’ve had this app for years and still thinks it’s great app. Cameras don’t work anymore

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-12-09, version 7.9*

The app doesn’t show any camera available only road signs nothing else fake

### 1/5 — No London cameras on app

*2024-11-05, version 7.9*

Bought the app to be able to view TFL cameras in my local area but not a single camera shows up, only for motorways.

### 1/5 — Traffic Cameras are no longer updating properly

*2024-09-06, version 7.7*

Traffic Cameras are no longer updating properly and often showing yesterday or several months ago and also not showing traffic incidents locally from around Aberdeen Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 like it was anymore going to have to delete app 😞

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2024-05-16, version 7.7*

Just paid for this App to see if it showed road works about two miles away from my house and to see how long they would be there.   Even though the main route is closed it doesn’t mention it!! Bad investment so far

UK ROADS App: An Invaluable Tool for Road Users

Review:

The UK ROADS app has quickly become an indispensable tool for road users in the United Kingdom. This comprehensive application offers a wealth of relevant, useful, and clear information that greatly enhances the navigation and safety experience on the roads.

One of the app's standout features is its map functionality. The map is not only accurate but also incredibly detailed, providing users with a clear and precise overview of their routes. Whether you're planning a long journey or simply navigating through a busy city, the map offers real-time updates, ensuring you're aware of any changes or delays along the way. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, allowing for smooth and hassle-free navigation.

The inclusion of live camera feeds is another fantastic aspect of the UK ROADS app. With access to a network of traffic cameras strategically placed throughout the country, users can view real-time footage of various road segments. This feature is particularly valuable when it comes to assessing traffic conditions, monitoring congestion, or checking weather conditions before setting off on a trip. The ability to have visual confirmation of the road conditions significantly contributes to making informed decisions and planning efficient routes.

Furthermore, the app excels in providing timely road incident information. By integrating with official traffic management systems and utilizing crowd-sourced data, the UK ROADS app offers accurate and up-to-date information about accidents, roadworks, closures, and other incidents that may affect your journey. The clarity and comprehensiveness of the incident reports allow users to anticipate potential delays and choose alternative routes, ultimately saving time and reducing frustration on the road.

In terms of usability, the UK ROADS app deserves high praise. The user interface is well-designed, making it easy to access and understand all the available features. Whether you're a tech-savvy individual or someone less experienced with mobile apps, navigating through the app and accessing the desired information is a breeze.

To sum it up, the UK ROADS app is an invaluable companion for road users in the United Kingdom. With its relevant, useful, and clear map, camera feeds, and road incident information, it significantly enhances the overall driving experience. Whether you're a daily commuter or embarking on a long journey, this app proves to be an indispensable tool for ensuring smoother, safer, and more efficient travel.

### 5/5 — Love Love Love

*2023-04-02, version 7.7*

I love this app, I just wish it showed more places. I live in Liverpool and would love to see what the roads are saying before I went out! Especially as it’s a main city.

### 5/5 — Scotland

*2022-10-23, version 7.6*

Why has this app stoped showing incidents & roadworks in Scotland ?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-08-11, version 7.5*

Great app works really well,can check traffic cameras for live traffic problems has save me so much time avoiding traffic jams

### 5/5 — Saves a lot of stress

*2022-06-01*

Always good on a long journey to see where jams start with up to date camera pictures not outdated radio reports. However one major complaint- there are always dozens of often minor incidents reported on London roads but little or nothing elsewhere. We have 2 major trunk roads in Essex which run from the east coast to London (A13and A127)Both cross and join the M25. Also the A12 which connects with the M25  runs through Essex. On several occasions serious hold ups have occurred on these roads and no mention has been made or marked on the map. I accept this may not be the fault of the developer but I would like an explanation. Otherwise great app!
Bob

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback. The app is dependent on the quality of the data feeds, in this case the one from Highways England. I can't explain why some incidents would not be reported to Highways England, unless they appeared in the app a little later as there may be a lag between the incident happening and it being reported through the Highways England system. You often see lots of incidents for London as TfL provides a more comprehensive feed of traffic incidents. I'm afraid all of this is outside my control, my ap can only show the information that the various traffic/road agencies provide. Cheers, Andy

### 5/5 — No cameras in this area - issue just occurred

*2021-02-08, version 7.5*

Absolutely love this app, and have used for a few years now.

I’ve given a 5 star review as it’s been so helpful until now. 

Unfortunately, cameras now don’t seem to be loading, and there is an Error 403 message when trying to click to resolve.

Any help would be appreciated as it’s a great app to have before driving long distance, especially in the snow!
