I use this app to find safe hotels to stay at and places to eat when visiting a new town. ### 5/5 — Very useful and no other apps like this *2021-04-09* I love this app! When I am visiting a new area I can see which areas are safe and which ones I should be careful in. I can’t wait to see this app go world wide! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-01-17* Any address I put in finds the address but when I click on it the app crashes… (shut down) to my Home Screen. ### 1/5 — Utility seems low *2022-12-18* Crime information seems dated and not updated. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2022-10-01* This stinks and doesn’t work or anymore **Developer response:** Hi. Actually the app works great and has never crashed thanks to our developer. Please make sure you had cell service and/or an updated version for you iPhone. Also, if you are in an area with no ratings, add a few ratings to keep others safe. We don’t have ratings all over and appreciate the help from anyone who is willing to leave ratings to keep others safe. ### 1/5 — Literally no information *2022-09-25* Literally nothing by shows up on the map. Totally useless. **Developer response:** Hi. Actually the app works great and has never crashed thanks to our developer.

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. ### 4/5 — So far, so good, but . . . *2023-02-04* 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. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-08-06* 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. **Developer response:** Hey thank you. Glad the app worked well for you!
