### 3/5 — Not working

*2023-06-26*

Stopped working when version 16.5 came out

### 1/5 — Please fix it

*2022-04-09*

The app use to be great, but lately the safe shooting map has stopped overlaying the important part…it’s just a terrain map now with not indication of where is safe to shoot.

### 3/5 — Safe shooting map is worthless.

*2021-04-07*

Safe shooting map is worthless. 

Did try anything else so I’ll go with a 3.

### 5/5 — Useful app for citizens of the county.

*2020-01-30*

You can see who is in jail and send in graffiti and dumping reports for the inmate work crew to clean up. Safe shooting is also a useful app.

### 1/5 — CRASH !!!!!

*2013-06-04*

Wonderful, Washoe Co. Sheriff Dept. releases an iPhone app to help citizens report criminal activity. Big announcement made on local news outlets. APP DOES NOT WORK. Crash, after crash. Did no one test this before it was released to such fanfare? Typical Reno.
