idk why this app has such bad reviews. I use it and as far as i know it’s pretty accurate and helpful especially when i’m alone or in a sketchy area. it’s nice to know what creeps live around you and to stay away from certain places. anyway yeah i love this app and i’ve been using it really often for like idk a year or two now? it’s good. i used to know one of the offenders on there when i was really young and she’s listed accurately so i’m assuming most of the others are too.
Used to love this app, but this new onboarding is atrocious…

I use to use this periodically in my area (I’ve got a young family). But I guess it’s been a while since using it because when I opened it today, I had to get past like 100 screens (swipes, taps, etc) before I even got to use the app. Much more fear mongering than before, sooo many unnecessary screens I had to get through before getting to want I wanted to see. And then… it was saying I had to pay for an account (it’s normal to see if people want a paid version, but they made it sound like that was the only option. It wasn’t made clear right away how to go with the free version). Finally asked for a review from me less than 2 seconds into being on the dashboard/map. Haha, well…. I’ll certainly leave you a review. I’m sure the actual app is great. But this feedback and poor review is for your onboarding. You need to seriously re-evaluate it.

ACCURACY ISSUES!!
PFCTB
This app has so many accuracy issues it’s not even funny. I found dozens within just a couple minutes of messing around on the app. Many females listed as males. Black guys listed as white and white guys listed as blacks. Guys names and info with a picture of a female. One of the people’s charge was completely wrong because I know his case and how creepy he is but this app made him look like a minor offender even though he raped a 2 year old baby! Disgusting. Go somewhere else. Don’t trust the info here. Do your homework and fact check any info you use from this app because all these errors are just within 10 miles of my address and I found them all within a couple minutes so I’m sure there are thousands of inaccuracies!!
Shady billing - don’t do the trial
KD Nik
Tried the free trial and honestly felt it wasn’t worth it, you can find this info free on the national database. It seems dated too. I tried to cancel the first day but there was absolutely no option to do so anywhere on the app. It did not show. I read another review here that they recently ran into the same problem but then it attempted to bill for the subscription and wouldn’t ya know it NOW after they tried to take the money out it gives you an option to cancel your membership within the app. Just be transparent. If you have to dupe people into paying you $8 under the guise that they can cancel anytime but making it impossible to do so you’re doing something wrong.
