### 4/5 — Stop censoring out certain things

*2026-08-24, version 26.34.0*

Love the app but it would be better if you could please stop censoring out some of the stuff.

### 3/5 — Could be alot better

*2026-08-22, version 26.34.0*

This app is ok, but I follow one specific place, the city I live in because my daughter is a 911 dispatcher and I like to listen to her calls, and this app for the past 2 days has given me notifications from everywhere but my city. I do not have my mileage set way out but it keeps showing me calls from cities miles and miles and hrs away, I'm very disappointed

### 2/5 — Not that great

*2026-08-19, version 26.33.0*

The app tells you about things that are going on around you but everything on the audio on the pay site is so chopped up. You can hardly understand what’s going on. I enjoy knowing what’s going on around me, but it’s not worth paying for me.

Just download the app and read what’s going on near you cause you’re not gonna get anything about the audio.

Their beta tabs are just aged, honestly not sure how they picked these. They’re a week old and not updated often.

### 5/5 — It keeps you safe and you could see all the crimes everywhere I really like it 👍👍👍

*2026-08-18, version 26.33.0*

I like this crime

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-17, version 26.33.0*

Very good information

### 5/5 — Works greatly

*2026-08-17, version 26.33.0*

I get to know stuff before anyone else does

### 5/5 — excellent app

*2026-08-16, version 26.33.0*

this is a very good app

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-08-14, version 26.33.0*

Nice to know what is going on around the community. Emergencies and vandalism accidents and what not

### 5/5 — @Brenda Burns

151 Falcon Ridge Drive, Irwin, PA 15642

### 5/5 — Simple, effective, informative

*2026-08-14, version 26.32.0*

My son actually showed me this app. There is not a whole lot more to say aside from how simple this app is to use, how effective it is at its intended function, and how information it is without a ton of ads or having to make a bunch of tweaks or configurations. It just does its job and helps keep you informed as intended. This combined with the Citizen app and you got all you need..

### 5/5 — Is it free

*2026-08-13, version 26.32.0*

Is this a free app does anyone know

### 5/5 — This is one of the best apps

*2026-08-13, version 26.32.0*

Honestly, it’s really good. I update my family all the time they asked. How do you get this and I tell them they’re really shocked and it helps to learn new information. I love this app. Highly recommended.

### 2/5 — Going downhill, buy a scanner

*2026-08-13, version 26.32.0*

Was an ok app with room for improvement. But after the new update  I will just use my scanner ( a bearcat is cheap money)

### 5/5 — Police officer

*2026-08-11, version 26.32.0*

It’s definitely accurate if you wana keep up with your community

### 5/5 — Ping

*2026-08-11, version 26.32.0*

I, observed any threats at this time. The radar is accurate. We need to inform near threat. This alert is non vis. Thank you for your concern. Fine them please. Ping

### 1/5 — Misinformation

*2026-08-26, version 26.34.0*

Nothing thus app says is true.  Each time something came across this app I investigated and not one incident was true.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE! Nothing is in order.

*2026-08-26, version 26.34.0*

I really don’t know why I still have this app downloaded. The simplest things just suck on this app. None of the events are in any kind of chronological order. Why? When I click on recent, the events are weeks old. It’s the most ridiculous app. Simple technology just not used. Figure it out already. You definitely have advertising revenue figured out, why not sorting tech? Dumb! Lazy.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-08-24, version 26.34.0*

Incidents do not appear in chronological order (or in any logical order that I can see). What is happening now is buried beneath things that occurred up to a week ago. Multiple sirens respond to an incident close by and I see no notification of what is happening. And now my feed is filled with incidents from around the country. Just seems like lazy app building. And they want people to subscribe to this to get rid of ads? C’mon.

### 1/5 — Unable to get reports from my city

*2026-08-17, version 26.33.0*

Since last update the reports from my location are gone. I only get reports from the cities around me and sometimes random cities hours away from me. 

Every time this app is updated it gets worse instead of improving.

### 1/5 — Fake advertising

*2026-08-16, version 26.33.0*

If you are claiming free scanning in your ads you shouldn’t have to pay for something I could get my hands on by paying on in the first place

### 1/5 — Somehow getting worse

*2026-08-11, version 26.32.0*

This app is progressively getting worse with every update. In my “current location” recent feed I’m now seeing neighboring cities and even results for my entire county.

### 1/5 — Zero customer service

*2026-08-10, version 26.32.0*

I’ve been trying anyway possible to get customer service and they just don’t exist so good luck

### 1/5 — Mad

*2026-08-08, version 26.32.0*

I want my 9.99 back I just hit the button didn’t even put my information in and they took my money how can I get this off I don’t want a reoccurring 9.99 every month

### 1/5 — Fake

*2026-08-04, version 26.30.2*

These are fake reports I live in a small town and they are saying all this crime is being dispatched like shootings and stuff which is not true fake and waste of time don’t install

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-01, version 26.30.2*

You get partial dispatch calls a few days old.

### 5/5 — Crime radar

Works great I hear police calls in my town.

### 5/5 — Crime

*2026-08-26, version 26.34.0*

Review five by Sharkie

### 5/5 — Get this app

*2026-08-24, version 26.34.0*

You’ll be amazed at what first responders respond to! 
My only suggestion-keep alerts in a most recent order on the Home page.
Update: 5+ stars Got an alert about a serious wreck near home. Helped me make alternate driving plans and stay out of their way.

### 5/5 — Life

*2026-08-22, version 26.34.0*

This app keeps me informed about what’s happening around me every day.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-08-21, version 26.34.0*

I go straight to the map and look at incidents near my house. Love to keep current on what's going on just in case. 
I like the fact that I can see where potentially dangerous offenders live in my area as well...

### 5/5 — Crime radar dispatch

*2026-08-21, version 26.33.0*

Good info to listen to

### 5/5 — Great alertness

*2026-08-20, version 26.33.0*

This app is absolutely amazing! Anything happening in the area you’re located is immediately communicated to the user! Looking to go from the free version to the paid version! Whoever is the created of this app, HUGE KUDOS!

### 5/5 — Rating

*2026-08-18, version 26.33.0*

Good job reporting crimes, people in distress

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-08-18, version 26.33.0*

Like the fact that it follows you wherever you are located and switches to that location

### 5/5 — Enjoy

*2026-08-18, version 26.33.0*

Glad to have this app
