It makes me feel safer knowing what and who is around me. Would recommend to anyone so you are aware of your surroundings. ### 5/5 — Makes me feel safe *2025-11-13, version 2.1.6* I’ve been using this app for a couple weeks now and I’m really enjoying it. It’s super easy to search by location so when I’m traveling, I can see if there are any offenders in the area. At least their full name and address and also a description of the crimes they’ve committed. I was amazed to see how many offenders live within 10 minutes of my home. It’s definitely a must need app for anyone with kids. ### 5/5 — So glad I found this app! *2025-11-12, version 2.1.6* Since we lost my father, my mom has been living alone and I wanted to keep an eye on her and make sure she’s safe. I found this app so I thought I’d try it. I subscribe to the premium so that way I can have the map overview and oh my gosh, I was shocked at how many were around where she used to live. I am so glad I got her out of the area. Now where she lives there’s only one within a mile of her. She feels a lot safer now, knowing this. This office, a great piece of mind for her as you can look and see the crimes of the people, and when they were done. Luckily the only one near her was arrested in 1989 and his most likely changed his ways. I would honestly say this is the perfect app for anybody who has children or somebody they care for. ### 5/5 — Safety precautions *2025-11-12, version 2.1.6* I try to take any safety precautions I possibly can. I like that this app shows local predators, their legal charges and photo. Gives a little peace of mind knowing who is close by. ### 5/5 — Knowledge is power! *2025-11-11, version 2.1.6* I am so surprised at the number of offenders in my area. It gives me names, pictures, addresses & nature of offenses. I have peace knowing that my children & grandchildren that live in different states are in safe zones. I also get alerts if I’m traveling & enter into areas that offenders live. I think this a great app to have when you want add extra security & be more aware of your surroundings. ### 5/5 — Great peace of mind *2025-11-11, version 2.1.6* Keeping my family safe is my priority and this app allows me to track who is close by that I need to be aware of. The peace of mind it gives me is worth the price. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-11-07, version 2.1.6* Very surprised at how many results came up near our neighborhood. Apps is easy to navigate and there was a lot of details in the result (what year, what was charged and picture of the offender). Now I feel safer when we go to a new neighborhood for friend’s handout or sleepover. Would definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2025-11-07, version 2.1.6* This app gives me real peace of mind. The real-time crime alerts and offender tracking make it easy to stay aware of what’s happening nearby. It’s a great tool for family protection and overall safety—definitely worth having for anyone who wants to feel more secure. ### 5/5 — Peace of mind *2025-11-05, version 2.1.6* This is a great app, especially if you have kids. That enables you to see offenders near you. I consider this a family protection tool and vital for your safety! ### 5/5 — Vital Info *2025-11-05, version 2.1.6* If you have kids or just want to keep up with your area and its offenders, this app is vital. I learned that there are so many offenders in our area. I can check to see when my girls go spend the night at a friend’s house, if the area is clear or to be alert. It’s crazy how many people are on these lists but with Guardely, I feel safer knowing who to look for in the area. ### 5/5 — Very Informative *2025-11-04, version 2.1.6* This app has a lot of good information! It has been extremely helpful while house shopping, as I can look up and see how safe the potential neighborhood is. I get peace of mind seeing the neighborhoods my kids play in, and this helps keep my family safe. ### 5/5 — A Must-Have Family Safety App! *2025-11-04, version 2.1.6* I don’t usually write reviews, but Guardely Family Safety really impressed me. As a parent, I’m always thinking about how to keep my family safe — and this app genuinely helps me do that. The real-time crime alerts keep me informed about what’s happening nearby, and the sex offender notifications give me an extra sense of awareness, especially when my kids are out with friends or walking to school. What I love most is how easy the app is to use. The alerts are clear and relevant — not overwhelming or spammy — and the information always feels trustworthy. It’s comforting to know I can open Guardely anytime and get an accurate picture of what’s going on around us. Honestly, it just gives me peace of mind. If you care about your family’s safety and want to stay informed without the stress, Guardely Family Safety is absolutely worth having. ### 5/5 — Accurate and updated regularly *2025-11-02, version 2.1.6* The information in the app is accurate and I’ve seen it update regularly. The app itself is very user friendly and came in handy for Halloween. I was able to check out the area I was taking my kids to in advance and I tailored my route to keep them as safe as possible. It’s also helpful when my teenagers are visiting friends - I can quickly enter the address and get a feel for how safe the area is. This app is absolutely worth the cost. ### 5/5 — A must have. *2025-05-29, version 2.1.1* As both a mother and an early childhood educator, keeping children safe is not just a priority—it’s my responsibility. This app has given me peace of mind like no other. In a world where we constantly teach our kids about “stranger danger” and staying alert, it’s incredibly helpful to have a tool that keeps us informed too. The app is user-friendly, accurate, and provides alerts about offenders in the area. I especially appreciate the detailed maps and ability to set up alerts around key locations like home, school, and playgrounds. It’s scary to think about, but knowledge is power—and this app gives you exactly that. Thanks to this app, I feel more empowered to protect my own child and the children in my care. It’s not about living in fear—it’s about being prepared, staying aware, and making sure creeps stay away. Highly recommended to every parent, caregiver, and educator out there. Safety first—always. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App spreads misinformation *2026-05-28, version 2.1.7* I am very disappointed that this app claims to help families but is doing more harm than good because the info is not up to date. Recently my family moved into a home previously owned by a sex offender. The sex offender is now homeless. Now the app refuses to remove our address off the site and are misinforming the public that he resides there still. We bought the house August 2025 but the app says he lives that as early as May 2026. This is so untrue. We have visited the Sheriffs office and they updated the info in the data base. Instead of helping, Guardely are repeatedly sending me the same form to gather info. One question on the form asked me if I was no longer a sex offender. If I’m telling you multiple times that I am the new owner, why are you not looking at the links on the web where you gathered your information the first time, to see that the offender is homeless? Looking at the developer response on other posts it is most likely ran by unprofessional people who do not care about accurate journalism or information. I will go to the News to report about this. And escalate this matter.. I already had the same issue with the citizen app but it was rectified. ### 1/5 — Pretty sick you make people pay for this *2026-05-27, version 2.1.7* The free version only gives you like four people that you can see they make you pay for the rest pretty sick they make you pay for free information. Do you wanna be safe or you want your kids to be safe? OK that’s fine. Pay me some money SMH. ### 1/5 — Very little info *2026-02-24, version 2.1.7* Not worth the money ### 1/5 — Paid for premium but it doesn’t work *2025-08-06, version 2.1.3* I paid for premium and whenever I try to click premium features it redirects me to pay for premium which I already have ### 1/5 — Fail at mission *2025-06-05, version 2.1.2* Fail at $119/ year 9.99/week. Says “Guardely was created with a “singular mission”: to empower individuals and Trusted Circle contacts with the information they need to stay safe. We believe that “everyone has the right” to know who lives in their community, especially when it comes to protecting their loved ones. Everyone has a right for a price. Definitely not for the publiv safety ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-05-10, version 2.1.1* Don't download this app if you want to find out if sex offenders are near you. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous to charge for public information *2025-05-02, version 2.0.5* No point in downloading unless you want to pay for public information. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-04-14, version 2.0.5* This app would not do anything for me. I could find what I was looking for, but whenever I wanted to get any information, I would just get directed to the subscription page then I would lose what I had and start over again, but there’s no way to get any information without paying them money ### 1/5 — Not accurate information at all 0/10 *2025-01-01, version 1.0.2* Completely false information. You can look up sex offenders for free on your state . Gov. And they will show you were they live. If you compare real address vs this app there is nothing there. This app is useless delete it ### 5/5 — Seems good *2026-02-23, version 2.1.7* App worked without creating frustration while I seen many issues with other apps like this. Produces results quickly and appears useful information. Map view is very handy for being situationally aware for parents and kids alike ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for peace of mind *2025-11-28, version 2.1.6* This app is incredibly easy to use and gives me peace of mind as a parent. The information is clear, accurate, and updated, and I appreciate being able to see who is in my area and around places my kids visit. The map layout is simple to navigate, and the alerts are super helpful. Definitely a must have for staying aware and keeping your family informed and safe. ### 5/5 — Excellent app for your safety *2025-11-26, version 2.1.6* This will open your eyes to everything local you may have never knew. It’s convenient and keeps everything in one app for family protection instead of searching the web endlessly. Great for keeping peace of mind. ### 5/5 — Knowledge is power *2025-11-23, version 2.1.6* I never realized how many individuals would pop up in my city. So relieved to see our immediate area is still one of the safest neighborhoods. The app was intuitive to use and easy to retrieve information from. ### 5/5 — Thank you!!! *2025-11-17, version 2.1.6* Thank you for making this app. I never knew there was a sex offender along the street me and my 9 year old daughter walk to the park. He has even talked to us. I’m so thankful for this app. I feel like I have the knowledge to protect my family now. ### 5/5 — Very useful! *2025-11-17, version 2.1.6* Very useful app and I have been recommending it for other moms at the school. Some of our kids walk alone to the school, others get dropped off by the bus, either way, it’s good to know the location of these individuals so we can keep a close eye! Easy to sign up, no annoying tabs popping here and there. Very user friendly and clean, easy to use. Will continue to use and to show my friends! ### 5/5 — Great Tool for Peace of Mind *2025-11-16, version 2.1.6* This app has been incredibly helpful for keeping my household informed and prepared. The real-time crime alerts and neighborhood updates give me so much peace of mind, especially when I’m away from home. I love that it supports family protection by allowing us all to stay aware of what’s happening nearby. Easy to use, reliable, and truly essential for everyday safety ### 5/5 — Safety and awareness *2025-11-16, version 2.1.6* After downloading this app, I was surprised as I wandered through areas that I frequent, and who are the people that I have to be aware of. In my own neighborhood, I found the history of someone I see often. This is not to be fearful of them, but awareness is key in today’s society. I feel much safer knowing. ### 5/5 — Good info for traveling *2025-11-15, version 2.1.6* This app provides accurate information to wherever the location you are at. This makes me feel safe when I am going to the certain location, you can just need to type the zip code, the info will pop up. This is a nice app for family protection. ### 5/5 — Gives me peace of mind *2025-11-14, version 2.1.6* I’ve tried several apps like this before, but Guardely is the first one that actually gives me real peace of mind. The crime alerts are fast and detailed, and the offender map is incredibly easy to understand. As a parent, anything that adds an extra layer of family protection is worth it, and this app does exactly that. I love knowing I can check what’s going on around my neighborhood and stay one step ahead when it comes to safety. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to feel more informed and secure day-to-day. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
