Been a while but the App on my Samsung still not working - seems no point having in on my Samsung S21

Is there ever going to be a update?

Last update was December 2015 !! so I suspect we'll never be seeing another update.

I did ping them a support ticket last year as it's buggy on OnePlus phones and they inferred they were looking at it due to issues particularly on Samsung phones but the complete lack of anything for so long leaves me feeling like that's it for the app. Under the latest version of Android it will not even start (got an old phone I run it on at present).

As each old phone gets replaced and the newer replacement phone likely to have Android 10 or 11 then CA won't start. It actually fails trying to load the initial splash screen.

I've had a look and Android 10 and 11 has updated libraries and entry points so CA fails to load the necessary as it can't find or load what it's looking for.

Android Studio does have a conversion suite but without the full source code including the all important gradle files it would take an Android expert to convert to AndroidX.

Fortunately there is a worthy app in Speedtrap Alert that works perfectly OK with the PGPSW database.


It's worth sticking here because even Google mapping is out of touch with new and removed cameras. I've been testing Google Maps of late and I've passed many sites that have obsolete or non existent camera sites.

Hopefully this will trigger some email updates to everyone in the thread who couldn't run CamerAlert on Android 10 and newer:

You will be pleased to hear that the app has now been updated and can be downloaded here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pocketgpsworld.cameralert
