Boston Area Lacking
When entering a zip code in Boston, the amount of reports are severely lacking. There are more sources that could be used to enhance coverage. One good account that I follow is @BostonAreaAlert (Boston Area Public Safety Alerts) on X.
News worthy
Really interesting local crime news,
Wish I could search on my address instead of zip code.
But it still works.

Straightforward to use
Easy to use app
LOVE THIS! Easy to use and Accurate!!
What a piece of mind!! Love being able to see news stories of crimes by zip codes. This app is super easy to use and helpful! Thank you!!
Great app, needs a few fixes
This app is a great way to see crime in my area, but some things need fixing. For starters, the search bar doesn’t explicitly tell you to type in a zip code, so it took me a bit to figure that out. Another fix would be that when you click the news source, sometimes it tends to send you to the news website’s homepage instead of the actual article. It’d also be helpful if the “View on Map” feature was more visible. The rest of my critiques are nit-picky, like how the city name and state should show up next to the zip-code or how the coloring on the site is a bit flat without gradients. Other than those minor issues, this website work great and I highly recommend.

This app works great!
CRIME Local is really convenient to use. I love how they integrated SpotCrime maps into this app. Since this is still in beta, there are a few suggestions that I will have to give it. First of all, the absence of a dark mode switch. This isn’t that big of a deal, but it will make the app easier to look at. Also, when you are scrolling down to look at crimes, the bottom of the screen is cut off. Hope this helps!
