Registry Radar maps official public sex-offender registry data, so you can see what is on the record near your home, your child's school, or anywhere you are headed. WHAT YOU GET - A world view: spin the globe, tap any of 176 countries, and see where records exist - Exact locations: every record in view, pinned precisely on the map - Full details: name, address, risk level, and last-updated date - Official sources: every record links back to the government registry it came from - Search anywhere: check any address, neighborhood, school, or park - Watched places: save an address and get an alert when something new is listed nearby - Home Screen widgets: your daily check-in and watch status at a glance THE WORLD VIEW Drag the globe, pinch to zoom, tap a country. Every one of 176 countries is labelled - covered, public but not integrated, or no public registry - and named with the official register it refers to. Sort countries by how much we hold, or hide the ones we cannot put a number on. WATCHED PLACES Add a home, a school or a relative's address and we re-check it every night, then tell you when something new is listed nearby. Watch up to ten places, choose your radius, and see exactly what we can see for each area - including when a source goes quiet. DATA FROM OFFICIAL SOURCES Records are mirrored from government-operated public registries, such as NSOPW.gov (U.S. Department of Justice) and state and city registries. Coverage is partial and registry data may be incomplete or out of date. An area with no results means we hold no data for it - not that it is clear. Every record links to the authoritative source so you can verify before acting. PRIVACY FIRST Your location is used only on your device to center the map. It is never stored by us, shared, or sold. No ads, no trackers. No account is required to use the app. PRICING Registry Radar Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: - Monthly: $6.99 per month, after a 1-week free trial - Yearly: $34.99 per year, after a 1-week free trial One free trial per Apple Account, on whichever plan you start first.
