### 1/5 — It should be free

*2026-08-15*

For what you pay there’s not enough information no dates no exact area no further information and how do I put my details in to get alerts to my area?

### 2/5 — Good app. Poor privacy

*2026-03-27*

If I’m paying for a subscription, I should not be faced with a cookie consent dialog that wants me to either consent to hundreds of trackers, or go through them all ONE BY ONE in order to turn them off. I know this is sometimes produced by 3rd party components in an app, but tbh, that’s the developer’s problem, not mine. I’ve cancelled my subscription and deleted the app. This is happening too often.

### 2/5 — App of Ads

*2026-02-22*

Potential to be a good app but every thing you press goes to an Ad or subscribe screen! How can anyone even test it before purchase? You need to rethink your marketing strategy to pull in users. If I’m serious about finding out about crime in an area, I’ll use the laptop for free opposed to this app.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-07-10*

Paid for 1 year BUT now discover doesn’t work in Scotland. I’ve tried 27 places in Scotland - no crimes. I tried 20places in England from Newcastle to Dover - crimes everywhere. 
It would be nice to think all Scots were law-abiding but we know we’re not. So, Crime Watch UK, how’s about you cover the whole of the UK. Or give me my money back.

### 1/5 — Updates

*2024-05-17*

Does not update enough better off with local WhatsApp and it’s not very informative I would want something that warns me if there is a local break in or disturbance

### 5/5 — DONT LISTEN TO THE NAYSAYERS

*2024-05-14*

There are few bad reviews over the app being outdated. Don’t bother, i can tell you this app is very accurate. Just silly ppl had a bad day and toke onto this great piece of art. I can reassure you that from personal research the crime reports are accurate and the main amazing thing. Is that they are super detailed. Something that astonished me was the fact that it had even the thpe of crimes. Amazing app, super recommend it

### 3/5 — And where are the stats for December?

*2024-03-04*

Every year has only 11 months: January to November. Either there is no crime anywhere or the developer needs to look at their code.

### 5/5 — Entire app screenplay society

*2024-02-03*

This app has been a great asset to me and I’m hoping that my wonderful Indian girl friend sorry for being racist is safe I always keep in mind that in the bleakest of moments I can always count on this app thank you for anyone who creating wonderful piece and founding father piece of creativism

### 5/5 — No Suspect Identified.

*2024-01-31*

This is a very interesting app, I wonder how accurate it is. Because it seems like the police can’t catch anybody. Almost every report I read it states ‘No Suspect Identified’. If true, it’s a worrying statistic.

### 1/5 — Crime reported but not shown

*2024-01-18*

I’ve had my motorcycle stolen and a week later the lady over the road had her car stolen,it’s been three months and yet it doesn’t appear on the crime map.
So you have to ask yourself,how accurate is this?
