### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-06-22, version 2.1.3*

There’s something going on with this app. It keeps saying it’s unavailable and has been doing this for WEEKS now.

### 3/5 — Spotty App

*2026-05-24, version 2.1.3*

App doesn’t work if device is on WiFi. You have disabled WiFi on a phone so it can see data/location.

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2026-05-18, version 2.1.3*

Bro everyday this app is down… like what the hell is this app good for if I event even use it for 5 minutes.. always saying service is temporarily unavailable.. please try again later.. been saying this every day. Useless app

### 3/5 — Woefully Incomplete

*2026-05-13, version 2.1.3*

If you want part of what’s happening with little detail, go on ahead and see for yourself. I’ve had this app for months, and when a significant Code police event happened 2 blocks from me on my street on 5/8/26 and by 5/12 there’s still nothing on the map, I just dumped the app. 3 cars running full code abd the police aircraft circling overhead and… no mention.

### 1/5 — Deliberately made this nearly useless

*2026-02-18, version 2.1.3*

I can only assume they are deliberately making it more difficult to see area crime. The list view doesn’t show distances, the email removed addresses, and it’s just generally getting far worse and less useful.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-10-20, version 2.1.3*

Updated and still
Doesn’t give any info

### 1/5 — The app still doesn’t work!!!

*2025-10-20, version 2.1.3*

The app still doesn’t work!!!

### 1/5 — Ouch!!!

*2025-09-20, version 2.1.2*

It was a great app before.  Now I can’t get anything. The app is frozen with a box that state it cannot authenticate.  WTH?? None of the tabs or keys work. All are frozen. I deleted the app and reloaded it.  No help. Same error and it’s still frozen. Please help fix this issue. I want my 5-star app back.

### 3/5 — Stopped Updating

*2025-06-21, version 2.1.2*

It appears that the app is no longer reporting from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, last report was from May 21st.

### 1/5 — Was nice

*2025-04-25, version 2.1.2*

Use to be okay, now it doesn’t work at all
