Great Potential But Notifications Are Broken
I like the idea, and the app seems to have a nice layout. The developer also responds to me (far better than the ones who don’t). But some things can improve: giving notifications even if not open (after all the widget seems to work without the app open), telling where the area was that caused the notification, and prominent notifications. I have iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 14 and iPad Pro with iPad OS 14, and the location services set to always allow, and the notifications allowed with a preference for the prominent notification. However, the app must be open for it to give me any notifications. Also, iPhones have the option for automatic do-not-disturb-while-driving and I have that enabled; and this is why I have prominent notifications set for this app, but they seem less prominent than I desire prominent notifications to be. Lastly, the app notification only mentions I entered a high crime area, but in case it notified while I was driving or otherwise not looking I won’t know what that area was; so I wish it gave a city and neighborhood or a thumbnail screen-capture of the map with the notice, so that I get the notice and know where it is/was that was risky.Show lessLarry Landen
Changed for this.
Charged for this. Not sure how it happened. Beware.JessTexan
Invaluable when traveling/house hunting
Don’t leave home without it. One of only 2 apps I to which I subscribe. Before I decide to look at a property this is the first stop I make. Traveling with a young family I can easily avoid questionable areas. Would like to see this overlaid on my gps.Digger24k

Hi. We appreciate your comments. Once your GPS navigation has given you a route, you can use the "radar sweep" function to see crime areas around you as you drive . We'd glad you're enjoying the app. Be Safe!Gives us that feeling of safety. Alert works perfectly.
It helps when traveling when trying to decide whether or not I should take an exit for gas. Before this app, it used to be a crapshoot whether it was safe or not. Also was extremely helpful in choosing the location of our new home. We found a beautiful place in a low crime area with zero loud car stereo bass noise. Needless to say we are very happy with this app! Thank you!Show lessJamesKrewMan
Meh
This is a great idea. I love the idea of getting an alert on my phone for when I wonder into a high crime area. I even paid for parents to have it for a year. Unfortunately, neither of us has ever received an alert. It seems like the app has to be running and in the foreground to revive them. I have the 11 Pro Max and my parents have older 7s. It is a great idea, though.Show lessALChamp79

Contact us at support@crimeandplace.com and we'll attempt to resolve your issue. You should receive alerts whether the app is running in the foreground or background.Very useful
Early on, the app used old data, but the developer has updated the information. I found the app very useful when moving to a new city with several bad neighborhoods. It’s a small price to help ensure my safety.DonnaCS

Not a Clue
Well I wanted to trust this app.
Here in the middle of Walt Disney World it says I am in a high crime area.
It also says that the only statistics it is using for default are from 2015 or 2016. This is not helpful being it is May of 2019.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND AND WANT MY $1.95 BACK!
Whoops, I’m safe now. It just warned me that The MAGICK KINGDOM IS A HIGH CRIME AREA.Show lessCHIMINIE
