User reviews

HR Cries Wolf!

High occurrence of false alerts made me stop using the app. I only see police about 50% or less when alerted.

Worth the money, but, here’s a personal nag.

I used to go use this app when I had an Android device and once I saw it on TestFlight, I was very excited as the app performed wonderfully on Android and even on iOS, it was (and don’t get me wrong, still is) amazing. I was going to originally knock a star off but a personal nag isn’t worth that.
The damn subscription, lol. From someone who knows about development and system administration, yeah, this **** isn’t cheap. I get the feeling because I start to cry every time I look into dedicated servers and other things of the sorts. Expensive.

The amount of information the app provides now compared to the early days is insane but my only issue is that dang subscription. I’m all for supporting the devs that put their time and effort into making something wonderful and I’m not even upset about it, but what I am slightly upset about is how it was presented. I was able to use it once, maybe twice (within an hour) before the app said “Give me money.” (Not literally but it felt that way)

Maybe this is more of an Apple-resolving thing than dev-resolving but knowing up front that the app was going to require a subscription before pushing it in my face would’ve been a bit more favorable. Give me about 24 hours before asking for a subscription so I can at least gauge if I want to subscribe through Apple because personally, I hate subscriptions by Apple. There’s always some sort of billing delay or they charge and then I owe them next time I download something. Personal issue, I know. Either way, it’s a great app so far. Hopefully it gets to a point where you figure out a lifetime subscription price.
