My phone also takes 30 mins to charge 2%. I recommend not getting this app also because you have to put marks on the map. ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-10-13, version 1.7.15* App crashes constantly, annoying notifications that don’t really need to be there. I even tried to pay for the subscription extra services - Not worthy of the time and money as it crashes too. Have gone backwards and forward with email communication with the developers to resolve, they don’t really resolve the issue. ### 1/5 — My hackers organized gang stalking communications app CLEARLY *2020-08-21, version 1.7.10* No one is authorized to use criminal cyber intrusion tactics to hijack my device and my accounts no ones authorized to try to use criminal trickery to try to force my entering credentials so you can with brute force text me a PEGASUS SPYWARE CODE FOR ILLEGAL UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS. Funny didn’t even prompt to create an account first straight for the predators access. I hope u figure it out before the authorities ### 1/5 — Very Buggy *2020-07-04, version 1.7.9* The paid features for group panic SMS don’t work. The app freezes when using activity tab. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-04-21, version 1.7.8* I just got this app in hopes that it would be better than the other, more popular neighborhood news app. Not so! Although there is much less drama, this is purely because the app doesn’t work. It took my personal information and refuses to load anything. It doesn’t matter what I click on! It acts like it’s loading and then it crashes. I’m going to give it a few more days but so far I feel like I’ve been scammed out of my personal information and I have a feeling that there will be no way to deactivate my “account”. ### 1/5 — What a Joke *2020-04-08, version 1.7.8* Just installed this, got my verification code and........Nothing. Tried all the buttons provided and.....Nothing. Went back to read All the reviews and I’m having the same problems as other people - from a year ago up to last week. What a disappointment! Lovely, my info is now stuck in your database regardless if I delete the app or not. Please don’t B.S. people and say otherwise. Also, replies from “developer” - come off demeaning and condescending. You’re better off using the Neighbors app ### 1/5 — Does not work on my phone don’t know if doing something wrong or what *2020-03-13, version 1.7.8* Doesn’t work on my phone ### 1/5 — No Support *2020-03-01, version 1.7.8* Does not allow you to email contact information. I would like to deactivate my account and there is no way to go about it! ### 1/5 — Bad APP *2019-12-23, version 1.7.8* I downloaded this app just a find out is will continuously crash. ### 1/5 — Crash *2019-09-30, version 1.7.5* Seems like the app just wants your name phone and email. Doesn’t show any actual information. Too bad. ### 1/5 — Authentic unstable *2019-09-28, version 1.7.4* Could not get past Authenticator Text msg never appeared ### 2/5 — Naber *2019-09-17, version 1.7.4* Good in theory but still trying to get the app working correctly for me as a couple of screens are slightly jumbled and some functions hang up with no response. Will provided detailed info to developer to try and resolve as claimed features suit requirements for my community. ### 2/5 — Circle of death and keeps crashing please fix *2019-09-15, version 1.7.4* This app has the potential to be brilliant, the concept works fantastic for any neighbourhood wanting to try and look out for each other. The only issue is the constant circle of death (crashes) on the activity and my Naber icons. Also if you press and hold the pinpoint on the app it crashes and kicks you out of the app. Please please can you sort these fixes ASAP! ### 3/5 — Update *2019-08-31, version 1.7.3* Keeps saying there is an update but the update isn’t appearing in App Store. ### 1/5 — Not working? *2019-08-14, version 1.7.3* No sign of police reports even though two break-ins in our development two days ago and police were called. Also how to correct our address? It is Berry Hill Dr. not Berry Hill Rd. which as the only option. ### 1/5 — Not much to show *2019-07-30, version 1.7.3* I’m not finding much to show here. Not finding any help either. ### 1/5 — Nothing on here? *2019-06-12, version 1.7.3* I tried putting my address in and it wouldn't even show up and i wasn't home so didnt use current location. I ended up just typing a place the next street over. After that, there was absolutely zero information, anywhere. I even zoomed out to the whole world map and there was still nothing except one theft or something in the UK, and it was just that one thing. Nothing anywhere near me, nothing anywhere at all. Im uninstalling this. I really wanted to find an app like this but I guess I won’t be :(. This is the only one I could fine and theres nothing on it. Edit: To the developer response, I am most definitely not in a safe neighborhood, at all. So that’s why I wanted this, maybe no one around me is using the app but it’s still a bummer that I cant even see incidents further than 5 miles. Since I was able to see a couple in the UK but zero in the US so I don’t get how its within 5 miles if I can see some in a different country. Really wanted an app for this I thought it’d be great but I hate having to rely on other people to see anything happening. Plus why would there be an option to search other areas if you can only see incidents within 5 miles. Oh well. Thanks for the response. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-09-13, version 1.7.26* I have literally been trying to log into this app for a very long time. I definitely love the idea of the app, but if it don’t work, it don’t work. It keeps crashing. I am the Neighborhood association president in my community and I would love to use something like this for my Neighborhood and the community members and board but if it don’t work, I don’t work. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-05, version 1.7.26* It’s a waste of time app does not work ### 1/5 — Who made this? Fraud app *2023-07-04, version 1.7.26* You can’t update your information or delete your account. There is no monitoring of anything. This app needs to be shut down. I have been trying to delete my accounts for over 2 years and they have nothing in there where you can delete your account. They don’t even have information to contact customer service or support. This seems very bogus and fraudulent and misleading. This app is very poor. ### 1/5 — Don’t working with receive code *2023-05-31, version 1.7.26* Don’t working with receivers code ### 1/5 — Un useful and unsafe *2023-03-06, version 1.7.26* Un useful and un safe app , used my data and my phone get slow ### 1/5 — No useful info *2022-09-13, version 1.7.26* The newest incident was almost 3 years ago. So either the second largest city in my state has had no incidents in 3 years or this app simply is no longer picking anything up. I guessing it’s the latter. ### 1/5 — It keeps crashing on iPhone 12 pro max *2022-05-27, version 1.7.26* Title says it all. After registering, it keeps crashing ### 1/5 — Not easy to use *2022-02-03, version 1.7.26* Not user friendly ### 1/5 — Not ready for iPad *2021-12-25, version 1.7.25* Why can I not display this app in landscape mode on my iPad Pro in this day and age? ### 1/5 — This shares your name and address *2021-09-11, version 1.7.23* Not recommended. It does not let you know your information is going to be posted for all subscribers. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Verification code *2020-04-03, version 1.7.8* When adding someone, it asks for name, address, email and a verification code. No one is able to get into group...where is the verification code they need?!? No text to them, no email, nothing. The only verification code is the initial one, then it’s asking for a second one when filling in info. ### 5/5 — Love the app but new dark mode doesn’t work *2019-10-07, version 1.7.5* Text is black and so is dark mode. 5 stars because app is awesome but needs new update to support new dark mode ### 5/5 — Fantastic now that the bugs are gone. *2019-01-29, version 1.7.2* The app is up and running after some much needed TLC and is fantastic. Throughout the last couple of weeks, it was laggy, and crashed every other time you tried to open it. However after making direct contact with the developers and opening up a dialogue, I soon realised that they were working very hard behind the scenes to produce a great app. The developers have been very open and honest in their communication. 911 needs to be changed to 112, but I know they’re already working on it. ### 5/5 — Needs work ASAP *2018-09-04, version 1.6.8* As a Police Officer I have been looking for an app like this. I tried to enter information, however after I type the information I can’t post it, the button is covered by the text box. Need a icon that is customizable or at least add sex offender icon and a general alert icon that disappears is 24 48 or 72 hours. Password protect custom user group ie police officers ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-02-05, version 1.3.1* Awesome app for neighborhood safety . ### 5/5 — Best app for neighborhood safety *2018-01-27, version 1.3.0.15* I was looking for an app that would alert me whenever there is safety concern in my neighborhood. Naber provides me perfect solution. Not only events posted by anonymously, it has facility I get know incidents notified through trusted sources. I can also alert and communicate with individual neighbors. Love to see a feature to share our security camera feeds with trusted neighbors!! ### 5/5 — Sruj DK *2018-01-22, version 1.3.0.15* This a really good app... very useful and simple to navigate. Not complicated at all... I highly recommend everyone , infact most of my friends are already using this. If you really need to keep a watch on your neighborhood, with all the crime around.... this is your best bet.... ### 5/5 — Great Neighborhood Watch App *2018-01-22, version 1.3.0.15* My parents shared this App with me. I spent sometime and went through most of feature. It is very easy to use, click & tap. You can add notes too. Now I am sharing with my friends. I highly recommend this Naber Watch for everyone to keep neighborhoods safe. This App can be used by offices, commercial places, schools, colleges and universities. ### 5/5 — Good app for Neighborhood *2018-01-22, version 1.3.0.15* Awesome app for neighborhood watch and staying in touch with community and if required to work with local authorities. Newburgh, IN ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2018-01-21, version 1.3.0.15* This is defiantly a clever app, love the design and screen flow. And it works seamlessly. It’s convenient to check the status at your place, current or remote place. I am sure I may see some issues while using it and hope will address those in near future.
