The intuitive interface includes a homepage dashboard with quick links to evidence that is missing an ID or category. Officers can use the app to complete evidence workflows while in the field, increasing agency efficiency and data compliance, as well as improving officer satisfaction.

Verdict
Axon and AJA Expo both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of AJA Expo's written reviews are positive against 40% of Axon's. AJA Expo also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Axon's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 61). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
