### 3/5 — Inaccurate info on offenders

*2026-04-11*

All Hispanic male offenders are listed as white. This is not an accident! This is done on purpose to skew the stat line. Hernandez and Flores are definitely Hispanic individuals!

### 4/5 — Good App

*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

### 2/5 — Don’t trust the App

*2019-06-11*

Why is it that the first 4 spanish people I see with names like Jose, Hector, Miguel,Jorge and the picture is of a Spanish person yet profile claims there race is white? So with that I can no longer trust the accuracy of this app and therefore deleting.

### 4/5 — Push new predators

*2019-05-08*

Good app would be good if it can you push n w predators to me based upon designated loacations

### 3/5 — No longer does what it says

*2017-08-15, version 1.4.0*

After updating tonight (8/14/17), the lite version does NOT show all details for 5 closest people.  No matter who you choose, the information on their arrest is blurred out.

### 3/5 — Need to update for iPhones

*2017-07-02, version 1.3.2*

Love this app. It needs to be updated for the new iPhones 10.2. It keeps crashing. No update has been done since 2013.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2017-05-06, version 1.3.2*

The app works great, when you can get it to work. The ads make it almost impossible to use. They are always popping up in the way and there is no way to remove them nor go around them.

### 1/5 — Extremely Out of Date

*2017-01-16, version 1.3.2*

Find something else.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2016-12-17, version 1.3.2*

I think it's complete crap that you have to PAY to use an app in order to see any possible sex offenders in your area. Especially at such a steep price! Seems like the creators are more concerned with money than with the safety of others, huh? And then you make the lite version practically unusable with the ads.

### 5/5 — Very accurate

*2016-12-13, version 1.3.2*

I cross referenced the results and this app is extremely accurate. You will be surprised if you look at your neighborhood... I guarantee it

### 1/5 — Not good

*2023-02-07*

I just updated app. Always worked before, I should not have. This is a very important app. It MUST get fixed soon!!! It’s 2023 does this app no longer work ?

### 1/5 — Why am I on this

*2022-08-19, version 1.4.2*

My name is Eduardo mata and I am listed as a sex offender near Gurnee, IL. This baffles me as I have never harmed a fly other than Priscilla Martos, 17 Y/O Jan 18, 2014.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2022-03-08*

The second time I type in the address, it crashes the app and I can never get it to work again until I delete and redownload the app. Needs to be fixed asap.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate website

*2020-04-26*

My house is listed on this website and no SexOffenders live here! Trying to contact them is almost impossible.

### 1/5 — 1 Star

*2020-04-07*

It doesn’t even show a lot of people and it’s not even accurate.

### 1/5 — Refund my money please

*2018-06-25*

App doesn’t work at all. I want my money back!

Don’t buy this app!

### 1/5 — I love this app

*2017-10-22*

I love this app it tells me who I will beat up if I see then in irl jk

### 1/5 — Only 5 show up

*2017-09-08*

Very disappointed with this app.  It would only show me 5 in the general area and would not let me adjust to a particular street. I deleted it.

### 1/5 — Was a great app

*2017-08-16, version 1.4.0*

This was an excellent app until they decided to start profiting off of information that should be freely and readily available by state regulation. Oh you can't afford our app? Good luck with that, hope your kid doesn't get raped. Scumbags.

### 1/5 — Total rubbish

*2017-05-15*

Absolute rubbish don't waste your time

*2023-11-13*

It’s so amazing and keeps me safe there is soooo many near me so this helps a lot would recommend!

### 5/5 — Wdff?

*2023-08-26*

An offender is an OFFENDER. They ALL DESERVE TO BE EXPOSED, and any fool thinking CONTRARY? Well, you’re either a family member of Paul’s-da-perv, OR you are ACTUALLY HIM. 
Go choke.
Also? App works GREAT, thanks!!

### 5/5 — ⭐️IT WORKS⭐️

*2021-08-27*

My dad went to jail for sexual assault and I type in his name and it showed were he was like omg it’s work broooo this 100% works

### 5/5 — I seen my sister and brothers dad-

*2021-02-02*

Yeah, the title speaks for itself.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2021-02-01*

Other apps charge an arm and a leg. This helps me keep my kids safe. Thanks you guys!

### 5/5 — ;-;

*2020-03-08*

So um this app is REAL so i have another app with the same people i got really scared that the fact that there were 100 sex offenders near me ;-;

### 5/5 — Don’t believe the negative reviews

*2019-07-22*

For anyone saying “it was a light offense” and “these people shouldn’t even be on the app”, u sound crazy. First off, whether the offense was light or not has not reflection on the app or the app creators. Their job is to list ALL registered sex offenders no matter how light or heavy YOU deem the offense to be. Second, this app is not created for you only! How are u giving a bad rating bc only light crimes were commuted in your town?? As soon as I opened the app the first 5 offenders in my neighborhood are violently dangerous offenders with the oldest offender being 69 and the oldest victim being 16. If you live in a great neighborhood with light offenses be glad....the app let you know that.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-05-27*

Great and useful one there are room to improve especially expanding it to multiple countries

### 5/5 — Good app

*2019-05-03*

Lol to the girl that reviewed "It's not fair. A 17 year old is not a child" . Tell that to the cops. Even an 18 year old still seems like a child to me. Freshly out of high school and some still in high school. Your brains not fully developing until around 25. Not fully mature whatsoever and being confused about what you want. You seriously gotta be kidding me. No adult should be having sex with a TEENAGER. Yeah, not a child but not an adult either!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — That’s terrific

*2019-03-06*

Love that I found out that it is true that my neighbor is a sex offender 🙃⚠️
