Awesome app

A plus app. Actual professional law enforcement officers use this app and review areas that they visit. An app like this is so helpful and valuable. Being able to follow the professionals in their footsteps is peace of mind knowing that they felt safe or not sure where I am heading. Highly recommend it.

Response from developer

Hey thank you. Glad the app worked well for you! We are adding more great data in spring of 2023

Amazing

This app is amazing, it very helpful for when your traveling and look where to stay and what to do.

Crashes

Any address I put in finds the address but when I click on it the app crashes… (shut down) to my Home Screen.

So far, so good, but . . .

I downloaded the app on my iPhone 11 plus. Had no issues with that. I gave my current location a rating and explored locations nearby to see how accurate the app is. So far, so good.
My only suggestion is that a map “key” should be available - especially for new users. I found some areas outlined in black and couldn’t find an explanation for the meaning.
I checked the burger menu for a map key, but there’s nothing. If you drill down to a specific location, you can see a color coded bar but that doesn’t help you at the map level or explain the black outline.
Aside from that, I love that this app is not trying to do too much. I’ve found apps break over time because developers try to do too much. This app is intended to get better as more people use it and share their experiences.

Would not accept entries

Tried to create a new account using Google. I got as far as entering my zip code. It was able to see the city no problem but the screen was not able to advance.
I am no longer interested in a app that has issues.
