Ratings and Reviews
Download Citizen App instead
Was great when I downloaded it a couple of years ago. However it hasn't been updated in 11 months, which explains why it no longer works. The app opens, but the most useful feature -- the crime map that lets you see what's going on in your neighborhood -- just shows a blank screen. Phone technology has advanced enough that the app is no longer compatible. So unless you want to find the nearest police station and don't have Google maps, out want to submit a tip to Crime stoppers, your better off downloading the Citizen app instead.
Was awesome for a week, now it won’t work
This app was amazing for about a week, then it stopped working for me. I deleted it and reinstalled - still nothing. Any ideas how to respite functionality?
Works Well
It’s is working well and seems to be a pretty comprehensive app for a PD app. I’m impressed!
