You have disabled WiFi on a phone so it can see data/location. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Good but could use some more explanation *2024-12-21, version 2.1.2* The app is good, however there are some icons that look like red teardrops and they have no explanation. There are several near my house but I have no idea what that means. ### 2/5 — Very old data *2024-05-11, version 2.1.0* Looks like the latest reports in my area (zip 74804) are 45 days old. Would like a date range filter… ### 2/5 — Inaccurate information *2024-05-09, version 2.1.0* I wish there was a way to submit inaccurate information on this app to someone. ### 1/5 — No new information *2024-04-28, version 2.1.0* App appears to have stopped working. Haven’t had any reports changed since February 13, 2024. ### 1/5 — Can’t do nothing.. *2024-02-15, version 2.1.0* Can’t create an account, when I do no verification email.. it’s just a bricked app ### 1/5 — The app isn’t working *2024-01-15, version 2.1.0* The app opens to an error notification. ### 1/5 — Works a little, incessantly screams without allowing it to log your location *2023-09-20, version 2.0.0* It shows SOME things, nothing new, and not everything. That's ok, but what makes the app NOT worth it is how is NEEDS you to let it log your real-time location all the time. I entered and saved my address and my mom's, and it shows some things in the areas around them. But I will not allow it to know my location. That should be fine, as we can search for addresses (and supposedly save them). But the addresses DO NOT get saved! Not even one (or once). And without sharing my real-time LOCATION with the developers, it screams with a pop-up literally every 3 minutes (this is NOT an exaggeration), saying "Location is disabled" and telling me how to enable it. Hit "Deny," and that should be the end of it. Three seconds later is pops this up again. Then again. Then again....You get the idea. I don't allow it to know my real location. But you can just search addresses right? In the amount of time it took me to enter the address and street name the app popped up the location demand FIVE TIMES! It turns out the every 3 seconds popup is negated by entering an address, which then pops it up every 3 CHARACTERS typed in!! If you don't care about some no-name developer knowing your location at all times, I'm sure this isn't really a concern. But for those of us who DO care about our privacy, this is a problem. They don't need constant real-time location data. Saying "No" once should be the end of it—NOT making an app that just shows crime stats based on an address harass you until you either give in or just delete it altogether. There are better apps for this, unless you just don't care about your personally identifiable location and data—which in itself could give the next data breach enough data to know when you aren't at the address they store....It's an ironic app in that way. Find a better one. Too bad Citizen won't install for all those of us who don't have the newest and shiniest iGadgets (ios 15+ only). ### 2/5 — Not good *2023-06-14, version 2.0.0* Very rudimentary and not useful. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-05-31, version 2.0.0* “Free” registration via the app launched an “identity verification” page that asks for a Visa credit card number. This will generate non-$0 charges that hopefully your Visa will block. I submitted a fraud report to Apple. Not recommended. ### 1/5 — Turtle service *2022-11-16, version 2.0.0* The service has been a lot slower than before. Slow loading the maps and crimes. I was using this on iPhone 12pro max with iOS 16. Just deleted this app. Bye. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2022-11-15, version 2.0.0* Keeps saying error authenticating, it’s been a couple months now and still does this, was a great app before it stopped working for some reason ### 1/5 — App is dead *2022-10-01, version 2.0.0* Doesn’t work anymore This was an awesome map will miss it ### 1/5 — Issues *2022-06-03, version 2.0.0* This app has not been working keeps saying error Or it says no data for area ### 4/5 — Seems to work *2022-05-27, version 2.0.0* So far my test of this app went well. I put in several addresses and they came up quickly. I did not see a purchase option. I would like to eliminate adds, even though they are small and at the bottom. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Was nice *2025-04-25, version 2.1.2* Use to be okay, now it doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Full of Errors *2025-04-23, version 2.1.2* This app should be banned. It’s full of errors and there is no way to correct the information. Shows someone was shot in my neighborhood but I live in a very safe area. The road name was the same as the road where someone was shot in the city more than 1 hour away. Tried to contact this app so they would upstate the information but got no response. ### 1/5 — Unable to authenticate, contact link http404 *2025-04-04, version 2.1.2* Despite redownload, software inoperable with ‘unable to authenticate’ error. App Store developer contact link/website http404. Good app when it worked. ### 1/5 — Keeps prompting for location services *2024-05-09, version 2.1.0* Its impossible to type an address because the app keeps asking for location services each and every second. It does not even have Toronto Canada! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Doesn’t even post anymore *2024-07-11, version 2.1.0* Decent app when working.. it’s been a good month since the last crime incident was added and I know for a fact that’s not true, the neighborhood I live in there’s crime happening near every day, this app was nice to know what I didn’t see but now it doesn’t even show it. I wish I knew of another app like this but I can’t find any, also I wish when there was crime incidents posted I wish they’d either have updates or more details cause it’ll say an incident and when it’s comes to suburbs when I check there’s always a detailed post for there’s but for a big city they’ll just say “warrent” “theft” “assault” “crisis” never a detailed post like suburbs 8/10 times have ### 5/5 — No More Bliss *2024-07-05, version 2.1.0* I live in a 55+ community, and assured there was no crime within 5 miles of the house and always outside the gates. HA! Source is local LE records, and we have our fair share, muffled locally by the homeowners association. Locking doors for house and cars now. Great program. ### 5/5 — Saved addresses is cool *2023-10-27, version 2.1.0* Still a lot of features I would like. But mostly the information is relevant and timely. ### 5/5 — I like the new features *2021-11-18, version 2.0.0* I can’t find any other app like this where I can see the whole country. I can now save my address, which is great but I do wish I could filter the crimes! ### 5/5 — Home buyers *2021-02-05, version 1.4.1* Is great for check the area if you look for buying home ### 5/5 — SpotCrime *2020-12-20, version 1.4.1* Nice resource. Would love it if you tied crime to police incident report , if applicable. ### 5/5 — Reliable information *2020-11-08, version 1.4.1* I use Spot Crime often. I am a licensed real estate broker and have found their information/data to be reliable. But Remember, this data is based on reports to officials. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-02-03, version 1.4.1* I like this app, it’s been helpful ### 5/5 — Good *2019-12-29, version 1.4.1* Very good and import app. 👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Needs a date range and texting notification *2019-06-23, version 1.4.1* Texting sms notification would be nice --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
