Offender Locator Lite for Negative User Reviews
✓ Scam appPurchased this app for $79.99 (yearly payment) only for it not to work in Australia. How can I get a refund?.Version: 5.5.0
✓ DeletedI’ve had this app forever and got on today only to see I have to pay now. I think it’s sad that you have to pay $50 a year to be able to see if there are sex offenders living near you or in a certain area. This information should always be public.. they care more about money than people’s safety and well being..Version: 5.5.0
✓ ScamComplete scam of an app. Avoid at all costs. It claims that it is a “free trial” when in fact you will be charged if you accept. Luckily I wasn’t born yesterday and just uninstalled. Bye bye. I win you lose..Version: 5.5.0
✓ SCAMDo not buy/download! It’s a scam. Says two months free then takes money from you. I am currently trying to get a refund via Apple..Version: 5.5.0
✓ BADIt DOSENT WORK!!😒.Version: 3.0
✓ RobbersSays 2 months free trial then takes £50 off you, absolute scumbags.Version: 5.5.0
✓ ScammedWhy the hell was I charged $40+ for a free trial!.Version: 5.5.0
✓ ScamOpened the app and they force you to agree to a two month free trial before letting you see anything. I agreed to the free trial, and was immediately charged $30. I’m disputing it with Apple to get my money back. Even then, the app isn’t accurate. It is all fake or outdated information. I’m not sure how they got nearly 5 stars, but they’re probably fake reviews. This should be removed from the App Store entirely..Version: 5.5.3
✓ I-I’m sorry but why i should i pay money just to be safe i want to feel safe but if it comes with a fee 😃.Version: 5.5.0
✓ ..Sh*t.Version: 4.0
✓ Misleading!Says that you use the “lite” version but straight away when you download app you are meant to put your details in for a renewal when your feee trial is up. Wanted to see what the app was like first before I paid for a subscription, so I put in my details when it said that you would be charged after the free trial. Straight away they’ve taken $50 out of my account for a monthly fee. Extremely misleading, don’t purchase/download. No Free Trials! They just take your money. Disappointed to say the least. Now waiting on apple to hopefully give me my money back!.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Not workingNot working it open and nothing.Version: 4.0.5
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOADTricked into a ‘free two month trial’ but charged me £49.99 without a trial! and the app didn’t even work! Disgusting..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Scam for australiaI had no idea it was for US only and spent $7 on this app only to find out i cant even use it in my country..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Waste of $7I paid and it didn’t show a single thing.Version: 5.5.0
✓ FRAUD ALERT“2 month free trial” but it gets instantly charged to my credit card.Version: 5.5.0
✓ I want a refund they scammed meThis app says a free trial then you can cancel I was charged $69.99 and it was sh*t. I demand my money back pls and thanks. Can someone tell me the company email?.Version: 5.5.0
✓ No good in UK!Tried it on many UK addresses and it simply doesn't work - had to delete it as it's useless here..Version: 0
✓ Nothing happensI purchased the full version and nothing showed up at all. Waste of money.Version: 4.0.5
✓ SCAMMEDI downloaded this from Ontario Canada just for kicks and it said I can use the trial, I got charged INSTANTLY! It was 45 dollars! I got scammed. I wouldn’t have even realized if I didn’t go back two weeks on bank statements and checked. Those crooks almost got me! Let’s register the people that run this program on their offender list because this is stealing. Be aware all that download this, unless you can afford 45 CAD dollars for an app that looks like it was made by a 5 year old, you don’t want to download it..Version: 5.5.0
✓ SCAM SCAM SCAMSays free trial for two months but they immediately take payment of £29.99 from your account. The app also doesn’t have any offenders on it apart from one man from the USA.... I live in the UK!!! You’re telling me there’s only one offender from here to the US?! How you guys can deceive people like this and take our money scamming us is unbelievable. So badly wish I read the reviews before even clicking purchase of the “free” trial. Absolutely DISGUSTING.Version: 5.5.0
✓ It shows same tattoo and birth year for every offender in my area. Not accurateThis can’t be accurate since it shows the same distinguishing tattoo for every one I click on. It also gives the same birth year range for many of them and some the info is garbled and unreadable. This app has a lot of problems.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Don’t buy thisDo not buy this, there is no free trial and it scams your money.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Took £30 for nothingScam doesn’t work.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Absolutely disappointedIt’s a scam I want my money back.Version: 5.5.5
✓ Some info clearly incorrectI checked dozens of offenders in my area. All of them are listed with the same birthdate on the initial view (before clicking for details about theme). Half of them listed the exact same date of last offense (3/8/97). One guy person was as a woman. Some of them had two semicolons where the offense they committed is supposed to be listed. If the above easily verified info is so clearly incorrect, then there’s really no way to trust that the other info (photos, etc) is correct, either..Version: 5.5.3
✓ Charged me $30 and used wrong location, doesn’t show actual offenders in my areaCharged me $30 subscription when I first opened it. Showed me one single offender, turns out he is in a completely different state, but in a town with the same name as mine. No other offenders. Official websites show several. My location was allowed to be used while using the app, so I don’t know what happened. Refund please..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Seems to be very inaccurateSo I used this app to look at the offenders in my area because I want to know what these people look like. On almost half the discription of the person didn’t even come close to the picture. One I clicked on a few blocks from my kids school was a woman but the picture of this supposed woman was a black guy. It said she had blue eyes and strawberry blond hair. If they can’t get the picture right how do I know anything else is accurate? How do I know weather it’s the discription or the picture that’s wrong?.Version: 5.1.8
✓ Informative but ..The app gives good information but it’s not a free trial like stated they instantly charged my Apple Pay 30$ which is not advertised. Not worth 30$ a month when you can look it up free online through the state or county I tried because I figured it would be simple and quick through an app but not for 30$ and it said free 2 month trial. So for that reason I only give one star..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Waste of $ doesn’t workI purchased this about approx 6 years ago and paid full price. It was glitchy back then but served its purpose until it didn’t. Today I decide to update the app and I was forced into a subscription even though I already paid for it years ago. Fine I place the order. I attempted to search multiple locations and names and that previously appeared with a list of results as well as a map view but today it only resulted in a blank screen. I will look for better options and cancel this one immediately..Version: 5.5.8
✓ NOT FREE! IT DOESNT WORK!!I have no Idea why this app has a 4.4 rating! It’s NOT FREE!!! Also if you do get it, it still doesn’t work..Version: 5.5.0
✓ SCAMIt said 2 months free trial and I was instantly charged 45 bucks. Doing this to people in a pandemic is trash and I can’t find any way to contact the company.Version: 5.5.0
✓ They don’t let you know they charge up frontNothing fancy, you can opt to go on 2-month trial then you pay $50 , when I when on the app they charged me $50 up front then getting on the app google told me the same thing for free. It’s not worth it . I have tried to get in touch to money back but they have ignored and have not even reached out !!! Save your money google the predators in your area on google by your zip!!!.Version: 5.5.0
✓ SCAM AND INACCURATESigned up for a “free trial” because it wouldn’t let you move forward or look at information without signing up, then I canceled my subscription immediately so I wouldn’t be charged for the subscription after the trial, only for 3 days later a 29$ charge to be taken out of my account?? App is VERY hard to navigate and tons of inaccuracies within the data 0/10 do NOT RECOMMEND get a different app.Version: 5.5.0
✓ ACCURACY ISSUES!!This app has so many accuracy issues it’s not even funny. I found dozens within just a couple minutes of messing around on the app. Many females listed as males. Black guys listed as white and white guys listed as blacks. Guys names and info with a picture of a female. One of the people’s charge was completely wrong because I know his case and how creepy he is but this app made him look like a minor offender even though he raped a 2 year old baby! Disgusting. Go somewhere else. Don’t trust the info here. Do your homework and fact check any info you use from this app because all these errors are just within 10 miles of my address and I found them all within a couple minutes so I’m sure there are thousands of inaccuracies!!.Version: 5.1.8
✓ Free trial is a scam and the app is inaccurateWhen I downloaded the app, I clicked free trial. Realized that it sucked after a few hours and canceled my subscription. Had a pending charge on my card for a few day and then it went through. DO NOT PURCHASE THE FREE TRIAL. Requested a refund and it might take a month for me to get the $30 back. I really don’t make much money and I needed that money for groceries. Also females are listed as males, black people are listed as white, EVERYONE has a tattoo on their left hand? Don’t bother with it you can find the same information on the internet for free (without all the errors)..Version: 5.5.2
✓ SCAMI downloaded this in Australia as the app was advertised as having a two month free trial. After realising it doesn’t work in australia I unsubscribed to the app, only to find the $50 has already been taken from my bank account. Please return my money..Version: 5.5.0
✓ TERRIBLEDon’t bother. Doesn’t work and couldn’t even cancel subscription whenever you wanted. What a scam!!.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Quickly identified that certain details aren’t accurateWe recently found out that someone closed to us was arrested for child porn and wanted to verify if they were registered yet. Ended finding others close by which listed ages that were even close. By this, I mean, a picture of a young adult (20’s) whose last offense was only a few years ago (2014). Yet, their birth year was 1955. If this information is inaccurate, the big question is what other information is off? It appears that the first person I choose keeps the pop up info date of birth across all other selections. Seems this app could use a bit of work before prime time..Version: 5.5.0
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOAD! SCAM ALERTOffers free trial then charges you!! Have had to request refund. Also, no UK data! Only for one individual in London. Complete and utter scam! DO NOT BUY.Version: 5.5.0
✓ :(I downloaded this because I’m about to go on a trip and I want to know what areas to stay away from. When I opened the app you have to pay for it?? I feel like it should be free honestly but that’s just my opinion, it’s a safety app yknow? It tells you who to be cautious around but you have to pay.Version: 5.5.8
✓ Could’ve been UsefulWhy is it that there’s no images to go with some names of the listed offender? Not only that, but there’s a “date of last offense” that basically doesn’t change between the offenders. They all have the exact same date “ march 8, 1997”. If you’re gonna develop an app in order to assist in keeping the public and one’s surroundings of potential areas that can be occupied by registered sex offenders, than why not make it to be accurate and with actual facts and information?.Version: 5.5.8
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOADSIGNS YOU UP FOR A FREE TRIAL AND TAKES MONEY IMMEDIATELY! TOTAL SCAM! DOES NOT WORK IN UK..Version: 5.5.0
✓ ScamThis app is a total scam I tried the three day trial canceled my subscription and then was billed two times once for the app and then once for an upgrade that I didn’t even agree to have tried to contact customer service to file complaint through email haven’t been contacted yet. It’s been almost a week..Version: 5.5.8
✓ ConTook £27 straight out of my bank didn’t see the above review, I want my money back didn’t even use it at it first work in the in the uk.Version: 5.5.3
✓ Very disappointedI find it troublesome to have wrongful information available for the public. Why in my area are there African American males listed as “offenders” and the info list clearly states white male/ white female BLONDE AND BLUE or BLONDE AND BROWN. This system is heavily flawed and problematic. I want to encourage users and developers to to ask yourself does this make sense. You are destroying peoples character and credibility while the real predators aren’t even displayed. I’m requesting this information be updated, reviewed and resolved or the app be completely removed. I hope these matters will be resolved with a sense of urgency or we may need to exhibit are FORMAL APPROACH. WE HAVE GOT TO DO BETTER..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Rip off automatically resubscribes youI cancelled before the free trial ended. It still took £29.99 out of my account a month later. Apple have refunded straight away but It says it will renew next month again. So now I have to work out how to stop it. Should be taken off the App Store. Do NOT use this one.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Feels like a scamAlmost all of the offenders have the same offense date “March 8th 1997” and they all say they have a tattoo on there left hand” It stated in the beginning u can get 2 months free but when downloading it it charged me 53$ instantly and a lot of the profiles don’t Even have pictures. NO STARS from me ... this is something that should be taken seriously. I Need a refund !!! ASAP.Version: 5.5.0
✓ ThievesGives you a free trial but takes your money anyways?.Version: 5.5.3
✓ Wildy & dangerously inaccurate.Photos and races of offenders are often mixed up. For example: (1) the photos on the list turn into a different person once you click them for information or (2) the person in the photo will be a white man but the race will say “black”. The information listed doesn’t always match my state’s sheriff’s department website..Version: 5.2.0
✓ BooNot for Canada.. This app sux!!.Version: 2.65
✓ Charged me for a year subscription for which I did not approve.When I agreed to the two month free trial, I was immediately charged $30 for a full year. I’ve contacted their customer support asking for a refund. Still waiting to hear back. Also, the app itself doesn’t seem to work very well. Still no word back from the company. Filing a fraud claim with my bank now and will cancel my card. All the 5 star reviews are this app are clearly fakes..Version: 5.5.3
✓ NOT UPDATED OR CORRECTWhile this is a good tool for knowing who’s in your area the least that could be done is use a mugshot and accurate description. Especially if I am paying $50 a year for it. All the people have the description of “one tattoo left hand” when some have even other visible. If I will pay to use this after the free trial you guys need to do some updates..Version: 5.5.0
✓ SCAM SCAM SCAMNo free subscription, your account will be charged £49.99.Version: 5.5.0
✓ I feel scammedI downloaded with the free trial only to realise that the app does not work in Australia. I went and cancelled my subscription only to see $50 pending in my account saying it had been taken for the subscription even tho i cancelled it while on the free trial. Thanks alot..Version: 5.5.0
✓ A SCAMThe face id scans you without asking if you want to pay for a subscription and just goes through it charged my card $70 and would not let me cancel subscription and as well the app is NOT FREE it makes you think it is but you can only use it when you get a subscription BE CAREFUL, I have no way of contacting the company because they don’t list their email or number on their website! Absolute scam do not get this doesn’t even work well either waste of money I didn’t want to spend. It’s not in canada as well it is only an american app. It automatically selects the $70 subscription and cannot do anything without paying, theirs policies don’t say anything about contacting or refunds. Horrible..Version: 5.5.0
✓ HelpI got this app and later got the three day free subscription I have tried everything and am unable to cancel the subscription myself I have contacted them they are yet to contact me back this app does not work and just tries to take your money it is ridiculous I want my money back I want to cancel my subscription but I can’t get any support and I’ve been unable to figure out how to do it on the website myself because there is no area or anything for it!.Version: 5.5.8
✓ No good for ausWould be great it it had US only stated somewhere before I bothered to download it. Great app if your in the USA. Avoid Pittsburg 😳.Version: 4.0.5
✓ BadThis is illegal.Version: 5.5.7
✓ TerribleThis app took $50 from me without saying what the price was. I used it for a few minutes and found (like many others) incorrect data. My app was showing everyone having the same birthdate. The search function did not work either. Absolutely pointless to have to pay for this garbage..Version: 5.5.0
✓ SCAMOk so I got the app wondering if it worked in Australia. Turns out it doesn’t. It started advertising me with a free trial and there’s no skip button. At least make it work in Australia and it should be free for safety reasons like, seeing how many criminals are nearby you, not everyone is rich and make it work in every country in the world! Don’t get this app if you live in Australia..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Total Scam. Charges $50 you immediately!This is a total scam! How has Apple not removed this app from the App Store yet??? The app is barely functional and lists fake information. If you sign up for the 2 month free trial - it bills you immediately!!! I was suckered into signing up for a trial because it got such high reviews - but they’re obviously fake. The App Store can no longer be trusted to provide trustworthy products..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Duplicate name for ALL of themDaniel Watson. I guess that’s everyone’s name now. They all have tattoos on their left hand also. And, btw, forget knowing what they look like since only half of them show. Since the last time I used the app only 3 live nearby now when many more did before. This app used to work fine. I don’t know what happened..Version: 5.5.8
✓ SCAMTook £30 from me under the guise of a Free Trial. There is no free trial. It just takes your money. It is exploiting anxious people and does not work in the UK..Version: 5.5.0
✓ HORRIBLE APP, NOT ACCURATE AND CHARGES UDownloaded this app literally last night, immediately after you download it and open it, it says it’ll give you three month free trial you basically agree to it bc it won’t even allow you to you to actually even view anything within the app , I didn’t care for the 3 months I just wanted to download it really quick, woke up this morning to a 50 something dollar charge for a year subscription I never agreed to. This app is fraudulent, even within the app I find it weird that on the descriptions of the people they claim to be predators all of them say “tattoo on left hand” and the birthdays are off. This app really seems like a scam..Version: 5.5.0
✓ UkCan't find location in uk, useless here.Version: 0
✓ Very badDoes not work in Saskatchewan Canada.Version: 3.0
✓ Scam!Says it’s a free trial but takes money for the yearly subscription. US based, nothing in the uk! Disgusting.Version: 5.5.3
✓ Took my moneyDoesn’t work in U.K. Was supppsed to be free but £26 deducted immediately.Version: 5.5.3
✓ Don’t even download it unless you want to pay $30I downloaded this app to see how it worked and they offer you a free trial l, so I agreed to it and found a ton of inaccurate information. I deleted it and cancelled the subscription so I wouldn’t get charged after the trial ended. Now I have a $30 charge for a useless app I didn’t want. Trust me, it’s not worth it..Version: 5.5.3
✓ SCAMSays free 2 month trial then takes the money out your bank right away and the app dosent even work.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Give me my money back!I downloaded the app for free and the app promised me a free trial until February 14th. I canceled my subscription the same day that i got the app, meaning they shouldn’t have charged me. But for some reason, y’all took $30 out of my bank account. This is ridiculous. I was told that i was in my free trial. FREE key word. I want my money back. Worst app ever..Version: 5.5.0
✓ BadClick trial then takes £30 straight from my account even after states it is free I want my money back otherwise i report to trading standards for false advertising DOES NOT WORK IN THE UK.Version: 5.5.0
✓ InaccurateEverybody’s name is daniel watson and has a tattoo on left hand. I can guarantee all the information is incorrect including addresses. I saw my old apartment maintenance guy on there and it says his address is still across from me but he moved out 4 years ago. How are y’all charging $4 a week and none of the information is useful? That means an offender can live right next to someone and they’ll never know because your app is inaccurate..Version: 5.5.8
✓ NOT accurate..What’s the point then?Literally all the info is in accurate the last update it even says it has is from 1997 for everyone, literally pointless also lots of incorrect informationLike it says there’s someone in Irvine get it literally lives right there next to it that he lives in Julian this app is more unsafe to have it and did not have itBecause you’re using it to locate someone and they’re not where do you think they are....Version: 5.5.2
✓ Good enoughGood enough to see there are sex offenders around but the pictures are definitely wrong. The pictures show a white guy and say hes black or show a woman but says shes male. No this is not a case of a sex or race change, its a glitch. Also wish you could see a whole list per city. Without having to click on different areas..Version: 5.1.8
✓ Such a shady way to do business.I downloaded this app lied most of you to see if any scum bags lived close to me and my family. Well it worked ok for that, so then when I went to cancel the free trial, it dinged my card for $54. I had this app for a total of 10 minutes. Thank god I thought to check my account. What a joke. I’d give it zero stars if it were possible..Version: 5.5.0
✓ 1 UK CRIMINALDon’t waste your time with if in England. 1 bloke from Leeds on there and 1 in London that’s actually in Baltimore US..Version: 5.5.8
✓ Beware, its a scam!First thing that happens when you open the app is a dialog offering a two month free trial. You have to click ok to even start using the app. It said you’d only be charged after the trial is over, but I checked my account and I was charged immediately! Also the data in the app is either outdated, inaccurate and/or fabricated! You’re better off using the family watchdog website..Version: 5.5.3
✓ App had incorrect dataIt only just me a few second of looking around the locator to see that it isn’t correct or only partly correct. It shows a picture of a black male and the description states it’s a white female. Or a Juan and the photo is a white male and the description states black male. I have one two houses down and the photo doesn’t match anybody I’ve seen around the house.Version: 5.1.8
✓ Accuracy in questionAfter doing a search in my area I started to notice everyone showed having the same birthday as well as have “tattoo on left hand” as an identifying mark. Some of them didn’t even have the offense listed. Places doubt on the accuracy of the rest of the information.Version: 5.5.3
✓ WTF GIVE BACK MY MONEYPLEASE REFUND ME MY MONEY I NEED IT BACK. I AM A POOR STUDENT. YOU TRICKED ME. YOU SAID 2 MONTHS FREE BUT YOU CHARGED ME STRAIGHT AWAY!! PLEASE REFUND, I DELETED APP ALREADY. TAKE MY UNLOCKED FEATURES AND GIVE ME MY MONEY PLEASE..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Scam!!!!!!!Just downloaded this app as it said that it had a free trial and I was charged £29.99!!! Can’t find any method of contacting the company..Version: 5.5.0
✓ ScamSays 2 month free trial but charged me instead. And there’s no place to contact customer support.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Scam,It only works in USA, said 2 month free trial and took $79.99 out of my bank. I am despairing this scam..Version: 5.5.0
✓ ScammersUp they lie saying it would be a two month trail and charge you right away. Crooks. I emailed for my money back. If anyone got scammed you can file a report with apple and get your money back..Version: 5.5.3
✓ Doesn't workUk.Version: 4.0.5
✓ Scam-DO NOT DOWNLOADThis is a scam do not download.. they offer you a two month free trial and then they charge you.. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.Version: 5.5.0
✓ False advertising! Doesn’t do what it claims!This is total crap! The only info I could get out of it was some people who were near my current location, and even then it had many of their convictions in number codes with no explanation of what the number codes meant! It has the option to look up people on your contacts list by their address and names but then came up with “100 results found” on EVERY SINGLE ONE of my contacts. But that was all the info it gave. After getting that result it gave no way to list those “100 people” it supposedly found or go to a map...nothing. This is a complete waste of time and money! I WANT A REFUND!!!.Version: 5.5.0
✓ ScamDo not download, you will be charged after agreeing to a free 2 month trial period. Scam..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Scammers!!!!Tricked me into a 2 month “free” trial and charged me £50. DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!!!!!.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Use Family WATCHDOG. This app isn’t updatedI’ve used family watchdog for years and it’s always up to date with the most current sex offenders in your area. I have one in my neighborhood that im positive of, and this app didn’t have him on it!!! Family watchdog does. I tried this because I liked the app format and family watchdog doesn’t have an app, but what’s the point if they are missing offenders??? Not cool..Version: 5.3.0
✓ TrashImmediately upon opening the app it asks you if you want to start a free 2 month trial. I clicked yes and my phone asked for my thumbprint for confirmation. I was immediately charged for a one month subscription. What the hell? Maybe if wouldn’t be so angry about this if I didn’t also see ridiculous inaccuracies right away, like wrong ethnicity on the first few clicks. This is a scam, I don’t know how it has 4 stars..Version: 5.5.0
✓ ThievesNo such 2 week free. Took £50. Outrageous.Version: 5.5.0
✓ I’m not payingI should not have to pay to know i’m safe this app is stupid and most likely a scam.Version: 5.5.2
✓ March 08, 1997Apparently that’s the date every registered offender decided to commit their crime. Strange it wasn’t in a news as some sort of child predator purge. I mean you’d thing this would be the most historical event of all time. Now idk what to think about the rest of the app. Like life must be a lie. I didn’t know ppl could get on the registry for crimes committed when they were just a cell in their dads left nut. Lol so dumb..Version: 5.5.8
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!Shouldn’t be on the UK App Store (as nearest is in America somewhere), and like other commenters it offers a 2 month trial but immediately charges £29.99 (was able to get a refund through apple).Version: 5.5.0
