  • Worked until it didn’t

    I have used this app for years and it was so helpful keeping up with my son’s activities. He is constantly getting arrested and when he would disappear, I could usually find him in one of the jails. I don’t know what has happened because about 2 months ago the app started telling me that I had viewed all of the information and to come back later (or something like that).
    I hate that because this was helpful. Now I don’t know where he is. I have tried deleting the app and downloading it again but nothing seems to help. I wish they could get this fixed.

  • Wish It Would Update Faster

    I like this app when it comes to finding out who has been arrested and is in what county jail in NH. I just wish that it updated faster and that every county would show mugshots? It doesn’t show what they were arrested for it just shows the time and date the person was arrested and what county they are held in. Does not show if they have bail or not either.

  • Lacks a Lot

    About 2 months ago, I was using this page to update a local page on FaceBook for those interested in seeing who has been arrested and for what. Mugshots were working great the app was constantly updating things. About a week after things finally got settled, they decided to take the Ashtabula County Jail off of the app for about two days. Since then, no mugshots have loaded but more consistent information came through. Obviously when you are looking at who’s being arrested, you wanna see what they look like. I’ve emailed and attempted to reach out the support team multiple times with no response back to this day. This app constantly provides ads that are totally pointless. You guys should definitely work this out.

  • Never notified of release

    I created 2 separate accounts with different contact information, covering all bases. Neither account was notified in anyway. It’s ben almost a week. I only found out he was released, when He Found Me at my sisters house within hours of his release.
    As far as finding inmates you scroll through inmates organized by jail and listed by date of incarceration.
    I have never had any other technical problems. This is a big fail in my book not notifying me of releases. When I was asked if I would like to be notified I expected to have the warnings. I made sure and created 2 accounts w different contact information.

  • Kinda pointless

    The information is really useless other than to see if anyone you know has gotten arrested. Other than that it freezes and force closes a lot. And the adds are very annoying. Especially seeing it's always the same two adds that pop up every three times you tap the screen.

    *update*
    You can’t even see who’s been arrested anymore. So the app has no purpose anymore. It also doesn’t update the information. It’s still showing the former sheriff, who died a year ago, as our current sheriff.

  • Poorly designed

    This app is poorly designed at best. Either that or the person(s) behind it have not clue what they are doing. Sometimes it works ok, but the ads are impossible to click out of. I have to force the app to close, reopen it, and try again to find the information I was looking for. That is usually met with repeatedly forcing the app to close several times before I get it to work. They need to hire someone that actually knows what they are doing when it comes to designing an app.

  • A good idea, but don’t bother

    I have to keep up to date with what is going on in my surroundings for work. I thought this might be a good thing to have all relevant updates in one place so I didn’t have to keep scrolling through Twitter and Facebook and being bombarded by irrelevant content. Unfortunately, this entire app seems to have fallen by the wayside. The only things posted by actual LE agencies are from 5+ years ago, and none of them from the actual county I’m looking for, and the latest update from the app itself was almost a year ago. The map feature does not work….at all. A decent idea, but don’t waste your time.

  • Strong concept but poorly executed.

    Mobile Patrol used to be a good app - you could easily check who’s incarcerated at a local county jail facility relatively quick and painless.

    After these last revisions, the ads have just gotten out of control. Double adds back to back every time you click on something, to the point you can hardly use the app.

    Needless to say, I’m deleting it and don’t expect I’ll be back. It’s more headache than it’s worth.

  • Ruined by the terrible ads…

    I found this app very useful until it became nearly unusable due to the ads…
    It’s not normal advertising either by any means… It’ll be an ad with a fake “X” button for example… where the “exit” button simply takes you to the link for said advertisement….
    That’s wrong on so many levels, and very sneaky. One might even ask themselves if that’s even legal….
    Very aggravating and highlights the major lack of integrity….

  • BUG/GLITCH

    I do enjoy this app, lets me know what’s going on around me, but there are some adjustments that need to be made. Having the wrong people posted with the wrong mugshot, super adds like crazy, and the worst part, you can’t see anyone’s charges??? Why is that? Is it just me or do anyone else have this problem or at least mentioned it? Again, great app, just needs some work.
