Sex Offenders Search for Negative User Reviews
✓ Some of the claims are trueThe app is not all that accurate. I typed in three different addresses and got most of the same names, with different photos everytime. Somehow, the same man lived .6 miles away from 3 places that are not near each other. My iPhone isn't jailbroken and I restarted my phone after the install, and the app crashed on me three times on ten minutes. I would not recommend this app without a major update..Version: 0
✓ Usa onlyOnly for USA......not Canada,update for Canada plz.....:(.Version: 1.3
✓ Not worth the money...One main reason I got the app is because it's very detailed , crime, location, and photo of the sex offender as seen above. Not true. Not one photo will appear on any place I have searched. But there's another free app out there, and it shows all the photos for every location I search. Big problem... Can you please fix this problem?.Version: 0
✓ Good, but needs major improvement.First, let me say that this is a great idea and a worthwhile use of tech. Overall, the app works, and I've had no crashes and have been able to search several locations near me. But major improvements are needed. The data is incomplete on the offenders and it is not listing all the convicted offenders. Also it lists many of them twice, giving different addresses, often out of state. Need to be able to search by name. Also need to be able to sort by major offense. I'd like to know if "John Doe" down the street was convicted of several felonies or is a first-time offender. Don't get me wrong. Overall this is good but the major omissions and inaccuracies make me wonder how much I can trust the data. Devs, keep working on this, please..Version: 0
✓ AwfulApp doesn't work. The only offender it seems to find is my own location. Bit weird. Waste of money..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Works for me, but expensiveI don't agree with the negative reviews here. I compared the results to my local government list, and the results were the same. It's more convenient to use this app than a gov site. Cons: Searching only works if I do a search twice! The first time produces no change in the display; clicking search a second time updates the display. Also, for this price, we should be able to search by name in our state, display some offense or court or news article detail, etc..Version: 0
✓ Useless in UKDon't bother if your not in the USA, no entries for anywhere but USA!!!.Version: 1.2
✓ Don't buy, app crashesI have reported this several times, this app rarely loads and if it does it crashes soon after... Was great before the problem started. Many people are complaining. PLEASE FIX!!! Still crashing after months of reporting. Company no longer even answers email..Version: 1.2
✓ Embarrssingly InaccurateThis application is inaccurate! I live in Cary, NC and it shows an offender living down the street from me. After calling the apartment community to verify, I found out that no such person lives in the property. In fact we traced him to be living out of state. This is a HUGE error on the developers part and could have big potential for lawsuites for misrepresentation. Do not buy!!!!!!.Version: 1.3
✓ Nice App, but...Very nice App with a few shortcomings. Not all offender's have addresses in the list although available on RI official web site. Some offenders are listed more than once with different addresses - which is good - but should be a way to determine which is the most recent. BIGGEST ISSUE and primary reason I gave only 3 stars is that the App does not map all offenders in the list view. In fact, in many instances offenders that are further away are displayed on the map while many that are closer are not. When this is fixed it is at least a 4 star and perhaps a 5 star App..Version: 0
✓ Could use an upgardeThis app has worked well for me. I don't understand the complaints other commenters have posted. My only dissapoinent is that, just recently, none of the photos show anymore. Is the govenment trying to lessen their shame by not sharing their pics since the popularity of apps like this? A couple of good ideas for the next release: Whenever new predators show up near by, have the app alert the user the same way "Ambiance" does when it has new info posted. Also, allow for a search by name; not just location..Version: 0
✓ Search Default to Cupertino, CAI purchased this in November, 2009. Seems to work fine, other than the "search" mode. It always go to Cupertino, CA. I've read about this on other reviews, but cannot find an updtate available to correct it..Version: 0
✓ Not worth Downloading - waste of moneyThis app is such a waste of money. The app crashed on me 5 times in a matter of a couple minutes. I am going to request a refund on this app. I also think the icon is offensive and does not relate product. You can only see your current location and can not input different address's. Definitely not friendly if I am looking at predators near my family homes..Version: 0
✓ Data doesn't seem to be updatedI like the idea of this application. I work in the sex offender registry world and I think applications like this are exactly what are needed to continue to bringing this important information to the public. Unfortunately, the data in the application for the state I am familiar with is not accurate or up to date. I found several examples of mapping errors for listed offenders (addresses being mapped in wrong locations) and found many records with out of date photos and offender information. An application like this is only as good as the data it contains and from this perspective this application doesn't measure up..Version: 0
✓ Incomplete...POSITIVES: +intuitive format +nice to be able to see pics of the offenders NEGATIVES (concerns!) -incomplete... The other app (similar to this one, yet with its own set of problems) shows several more offenders living in this area... This app showed only two! Also, the regular postings warning us about offenders in the area we receive at the school I teach at shows MANY more offenders in this area... -application hung when I attempted to use it while traveling through a new community (I had 3G/E access) showing a message that it needed an Internet connection to work... It should work when a person is not next to a wi-fi (ie. When traveling)... -needs a "back" button... The program is easy to get stuck in at some parts, and thus would greatly help in navigation... Overall a nice concept! I will feel better about awarding the three additional stars as my valid concerns are addressed....Version: 0
✓ C rodgoRubbish doesn't wrk in uk and I was stupid enough to pay for the app.Version: 1.3
✓ Scam appThis app is garbage. I looked at my sister's neighborhood because she has a young daughter and every time I load the program, the three red dots in her area show different names and faces of people who look like they have been rotting in prison for a decade already. This app is a total scam job and a theft of your money. I recommend not buying it.Version: 0
✓ Needs UpdatedAs the sex offender registrar for a large county and supervising hundreds of sex offenders, I can see that this database is very outdated. However, sex offenders tend to move around a lot and many registrations are updated often. This is a good program, but relying solely on the information it contains is not as safe as utilizing better resources available. If your state has a sex offender website, it will likely be more accurate..Version: 0
✓ I bought them all this is the best one.I paid for every sex offender search app so I could decide the best for myself. This one gives you the widest range of any of the other. I would've given 5 stars if you could see their pictures without clicking on their name. It would be nice if it automaticatly flagged the highest risk offenders. Few of the offenders in my area had any details on their offences. Most of them are left blank which makes me wonder. It could be better but when compared to the others this one seems to be most helpful..Version: 0
✓ Not badI first downloaded the lite version and after using it a bit I felt it was worth the 1.99 upgrade to the full version. So I purchased the full version but noticed the it doesn't give as much detail of the convictions as the lite version does. Maybe a glitch? Needs more work? I dunno. But in either case it is a very good and informative app..Version: 0
✓ Good StartI like the concept, and see real possibilities. Some of these reviews really crack me up thou. You can afford the price of this phone, but waste more time than the app. is worth by engrossing yourselves in a 1.99 cent refund. I see so much of this, and just don't get it. Must be the principle :).Version: 0
✓ American onlyStupid thing is designed for America..Version: 0
✓ It looks better on the iPad but...This app looks a lot better on the iPad than in did on the iPhone, but it is a lot slower and most of the info that shows up on the iPhone shows "unavailable on the iPad version. I will change my rating after an update that fixes this.Version: 0
✓ Needs to be updatedThis is, was, a great app. I like the design, the info shown but it really needs to be updated. It should be updated at the very least every month. There many offenders who don't show up that I KNOW are offenders because they're posted online on familywatchdog Please update the info and it will be a 5 star app..Version: 0
