Unparalleled software and partnership experience!! ### 5/5 — Must have *2022-03-25* This app is something everyone should download and have on their phone. As a young independent female living alone in a city, I feel safe and comfortable knowing I am protected with the click of a button. ### 5/5 — Feel Safer *2022-02-23, version 4.3* Just exercised the app with my schools and was impressed with the response! Well done! ### 5/5 — Single female *2022-02-12, version 4.3* I live alone and this app has helped me feel super safe ! ### 5/5 — There’s No Such Thing As Too Prepared *2021-10-27* I am thrilled there is finally an app that can prepare the general public for emergency situations in an immediate fashion. If you have called 9-1-1 before, you know they ask a slew of questions and sometimes are placed on a WAIT before they can assist in your emergency situation. SaferWatch makes it incredibly easy to access law enforcement and emergency officials when time is of the essence. I feel an added layer of security is always with me, and that puts me at ease. ### 5/5 — Helps my family *2021-10-16* I love how we get alerts from the PD and saved me time twice by getting traffic updates. Hoping they can add in weather alerts as well. ### 5/5 — Use at my school *2021-10-16* Principal asked us to download this app. At first I was sure, but once I check it out I’m really glad that we have it. I like that I can be alerted when there is an emergency on campus! ### 5/5 — Helps me know what happening in my neighborhood *2021-10-16, version 4.3* I love SaferWatch app! Helps we know when alerts are happening at my two kids schools and my neighborhood! ### 5/5 — Surprising the cops showed up for once ! *2021-10-14, version 4.3* I reported an ongoing drug deal and to my surprise, they did something about it. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend! *2021-10-13* This is app is easy to use and the more people that join the safer we can make our communities. I recommended this app to all of my colleagues at work and my family. ### 5/5 — It helped me. It could help you. *2021-10-13* I was in an unhealthy situation which had gone on too long. Once I learned of SaferWatch I was able to anonymously report information to the local police. Leveraging the app, I was able to finally put an end to that bad situation. ### 5/5 — Everyone should have this app *2021-09-29* As a parent with 4 kids at 3 different schools I take great comfort in knowing that all of my children, my husband and myself have this app on our phones and that we can report crimes or summon help easily and anywhere. Thank you SaferWatch for making our safety a priority. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-03-01, version 5.0* The adding texting and your phone gets notifications non stop and you cannot turn them off people are using it as a social app ### 1/5 — Dont waste your time *2024-05-23, version 4.9* Dysfunctional app nothing works correctly and yes its another waste of time thats just gonna sell your info ### 1/5 — Unable to Reinstall *2022-12-10, version 4.5.0* I changed phones and am unable to sign in to the app or establish a new account since it says my phone number is associated with another account. I think I used my Apple ID when I originally signed up with my previous phone, but when I attempt that now it says entered email is invalid. ### 1/5 — Didn’t like *2022-04-03, version 4.3* Notifications I unsubscribed multiple times and they still send me alerts. I removed the app. Did really provide what I was looking for. ### 1/5 — Clicking out *2021-08-09, version 4.2* I would like the app more if I could get in it with it clicking me out every single time. I try to sign up and it clicks me right out of the app. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work.Bullying is still a problem *2018-11-09, version 1.12* It’s the dark. He’s a very scary hairy man ### 1/5 — Useless since it won’t let people sign up *2018-10-09, version 1.1* Tried to create an account and it said invalid password. How can a password be invalid if I am supposed to create it right now? No other error message about why my brand new password is invalid , just uselessness. ### 2/5 — Not visually friendly *2025-06-09, version 5.0* Good idea for an app. But I do find that it doesn’t adjust to the phone text size and it makes it difficult to visualize when it also doesn’t follow the dark/light mode of the phone therefore it doesn’t make it easy to use ### 3/5 — Needs User Experience Improvements *2024-05-25* The notification of the app works great. Need to be able to zoom in to read text. Or have the option to increase the size of the text. Would Al be helpful to have a dark screen option. ### 3/5 — Useful *2023-02-13, version 4.6* Okay when they answer ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Able to report crime in my neighborhood with privacy *2026-02-23, version 5.0.3* Able to report crime in my neighborhood with privacy ### 5/5 — Alyssa’s Alert *2025-02-25, version 5.0* It was easy to use and quick. ### 5/5 — Great for public safety *2025-02-03, version 5.0* SaferWatch is awesome ### 5/5 — Help protect your community *2024-09-20, version 4.9.2* This app helps me to protect my community by allowing me to report crime and learn about important event happening around me. ### 5/5 — Excellent app for public safety *2024-08-09, version 4.9.2* We have this throughout our state ### 5/5 — Awesome App!! *2024-05-01, version 4.9* This app is great!
