## Review summary

Users appreciate the widget for providing speed-camera warnings and overlaying on navigation apps, but multiple reviewers report key issues: km/h-only display (no mph), overly frequent alerts in dense-camera areas, unreliable background/auto operation (stops unexpectedly or is hard to stop), and notification sound/tone problems.

### Pros

- Effectively warns about speed cameras (users call it helpful and good).
- Widget works on top of navigation apps (e.g., Google Maps) so you can get camera alerts while navigating.
- Simple, well-liked UI/functionality — several users gave short positive reviews ("Good", "Great app").

### Cons

- Displays speed in km/h only — no option for mph reported by multiple users.
- Alerts can be excessive in areas with many cameras (continuous/annoying notifications).
- Background/auto operation is unreliable — widget/app stops after minutes or does not run automatically; some users report it’s hard to stop once started.
- Notification sound/tone selection problems — no sound on some devices or custom tone selection ignored.
