SOS (Sex Offenders Search) helps you locating registered sex offenders and sexual predators in your neighborhood, around your children's schools, friends, parks and campgrounds.

Our world can be a dangerous place. Knowledge and awareness are our first line of defense.

Are you moving to a new area? Are you buying/renting a new house? Will you be living close to any of those dangerous individuals? Are your children visiting a relative or a friend? Will they be safe?

Just activate your iPhone GPS and locate registered sex offenders in the area around you. You can also search offenders by name, by address, zip code or even near your contacts in the address book.

Offenders will be displayed on an interactive map on your iPhone. You will be able to navigate around and click on any of the locations to see the picture, name, address, and offenses of any individual you select.

Currently SOS only contains registered sex offenders located in the United States. Our database is updated once a day with new information as it becomes available. SOS requires the iPhone OS 3.0 to run.

### 3/5 — Inaccurate info on offenders

*2026-04-11*

*2020-06-18*

Good app, does work in Canada. Got the free version but it only lets you see top 5 offenders in your area or another inputted area. Good app. Regardless of the other reviews, it actually DOES work in Canada. I’m not sure if that’s a new update, but it does work. Good app
