VINELink for Negative User Reviews

Bring back old featuresAs a defense attorney, it was extremely helpful for me to be able to preview who is in the local jail so I could find if a client had been picked up by law enforcement. The update doesn't let me look at who is in jail. Bring back the most useful part of the app..Version: 1.3.2

Adds insult to injuryWorst app ever! If I could give negative stars I would. Victims are already in a bad place and this only adds frustration and irritation. The app does nothing except waste your time and aggravate you to no end..Version: 1.4.2

Does nothingAs if I don’t already have problems, I’m registered to be notified of a custody status for a reason. I feel like I gave this “system/database?” info I’d generally consider private and it failed me. I can see its intention here is to help, but it’s not doing that. It’s coercing victimized people into disclosing to them and rehashing details about their life that may potentially be traumatizing. Then, here’s what bothers me, I’ve gotten no help by said notifications of any kind from them... despite the person in question 1)not showing up for their court date, and 2) cutting off ankle monitor designed to protect me, in my case. Big fail here Vine. It sounds to me like soon enough they’ll be involved (maybe victims) of a typical data breach in which my info will likely be leaked. It just seems unstable of a network or something is off here. I’ve gotten much more help, as in notifications etc., via USPS from the courts..Version: 1.4.2

Fix this app pleaseI use to not have problems. Now when I try and look up someone the stupid "I'm not a bot" won't work right. Please fix this..Version: 1.4.2

Not even 5 min into the appThe app froze and I just downloaded it I closed the tab re opened it same thing delete the app opening it happens again.Version: 1.4.2

Use to be a great resource not anymoreI’ve been using Vine since it was created and I have never had any issues getting alerts or being updated until now. Now my phone can’t save my login for the app. I don’t get the alerts or notifications until several hours after their release or move to another facility. When I was getting stàhe notifications within 30-60 mins of their status change. Now I find out on the street or social media of their release or move before vine notifies me. I can not keep my family safe or watch out for them if I don’t get the information in a timely manner. A fatal encounter could happen by the time I received the notification. Pls correct this issue immediately. Lives depend on it. Ty.Version: 1.4.2

I can not view my stateI have used Vinelink before in my state but now I can’t. I have tried using the website and the app. Only a select few states work..Version: 1.3.2

New app is uselessThey updated this app and everyone has the same conclusion. The app programmer should be fired. They made this app useless and took away its inmate locator functionality. Useless. Deleting it..Version: 1.3.2

Worst app everDefinitely the worst app I’ve ever used. Doesn’t work most of the time. If you do a search more often than not it goes back to the startup page..Version: 1.4.2

Absolutely TerribleUsed to be my favorite app with the recent bookings and now the new update completely ruined the app. Bring the old update back. Honestly it's not even worth the one star anymore..Version: 1.3.2

Lots of display bugsThis app needs an update, doesn’t work well on current iPhone and iOS. Had to use the website to get around some of the issues..Version: 1.4.2

Doesn’t work.Can’t select a state. Tap the screen to select a state and app won’t acknowledge I taped a state. App is unless to use right now..Version: 1.4.2

Doesn’t workPresents a blank screen with “unable to load page” on launch..Version: 1.4.2

Not workingDownloaded it, opened it- froze up...deleted it, reinstalled it, put in the information- froze up again...deleted it and reinstalled for a third time-still frozen... what’s the point 🤷🏼‍♀️deleting permanently.Version: 1.4.1

Not workingI’ve tried deleting and reinstalling, and restarting my phone, but every time I try to open the app it just loads!.Version: 1.3.2

I don’t receive notifications anymoreI originally joined Vinelink in 2019 it is now 2022 and was receiving notifications each time my loved one was transferred to another DOC. As of May2022 I have not received any notifications of any transfers and he’s been transferred twice,Help me understand why is this occurring? I have been reading the reviews and I’m not seeing where anyone is replying back to anybody’s complaints,Is anybody working on fixing these bugs? Or is this app not being serviced by anybody?.Version: 1.4.2

Love the app when it's working.For whatever reason when I open the app and pick the state it just sits there and doesn't go any further..Version: 1.3.2

Poorly updates victimsThis could be a great app to inform you of a predator being released, however it does no good when you find out DAYS later! Considering what this app is used for, one would think it would update the victims better..Version: 1.40.0

Horrible! Please change it back!Used to be a quite handy tool, but since the latest update it is worthless! Bring back Recent Bookings please!.Version: 1.3.2

UpdateThe update is awful. Doesn't even work half the time and why do you have to search each offender ?! Where's the recent bookings. Hate the update and thinking of deleting the app now.Version: 1.3.2

Fix please!!!After picking my state (Hawaii) it then prompts me to “enable cookies and JavaScript” and “Disable private browsing mode”. I never set my browsing to private so I didn’t need to disable it. I enabled cookies and my JavaScript was already enabled. After doing so I start the app again and get the same results. I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app and got the same results. Fix this please. It was working just fine before..Version: 1.3.2

Reached Limit???Tried to use and message appears saying access declined because reached maximum limit??? Never happened before update. Please fix!.Version: 1.4.1

DisappointingGood apps are supposed to add more features not take them away. The decision to not be able to search by jail showing a list of offenders and their mugshots, was a bad decision! Your competitor’s apps that will include the feature yours once had, is going to knock the ratings of yours down a lot..Version: 1.3.2

It’s freezing upIt used to work but now it’s doing nothing but freezing up. You can’t do anything like you used too. All it says is loading and it gets stuck there, can’t look at record details..Version: 1.4.1

PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!Most recent Update caused app to be worthless to us victims!! I count on this app for years now and now I have no access and I deleted and re-downloaded it three times and it’s still not working at all.Version: 1.3.2

TerribleApp is no go at all. Kept saying person was still incarcerated at one jail and had been gone over a month and was never updated. Inmate was released from jail and I got the notice two-days later that they had been released. Waste of time thing app was actually secured & kept update. DO NOT DEPEND ON THIS APP..Version: 1.4.2

All it does is loadThis app is horrible. It is unreliable, I’ve only been able to access it about 3-4 times otherwise it’s loading at the “enter state” page. It never stops loading.Version: 1.3.2

Really BAD!LOST Recent Bookings. Takes forever to load. If it's loading the entire state at the beginning; it needs a FIX. Nothing should load until the state, county & name is entered. Have IPhone 5, need a vine link that works. Please offer the old one..Version: 1.3.2

Don’t waste your finger powerDoes not work. I would sign into the web page & create a link for a text or email notification. Also with your local court ask if the “Alleged” has conditions upon release not to have (any) direct or indirect contact with you. Then you can request additional charges if they contact you. Stay safe..Version: 1.4.2

Deleted because it took off what I was looking forAs a person working with LE, I was interested in seeing the recently booked, but that went away. Boo..Version: 1.3.2

Can't rate a "0" starThis app is the worst I've ever used. 3 minutes to lead state pull down menu, and over 10 minutes loading Michigan and it's still not done..Version: 1.3.2

Didn’t workI didn’t receive notifications at all when the person was released. This puts me in danger. I will not use this app again, it’s a false sense of security. I use the website for the actual facility the person is in instead, even though it’s not updated within the same day, it’s still better than not knowing at all. Expecting a notification & not receiving one until it’s too late is TERRIFYING. PLEASE FIX THIS APP!.Version: 1.4.2

Doesn’t WorkAll it does is show an “unable to load page” error, offers a refresh link that takes you back to the very beginning…...Version: 1.4.2

Didn’t get notified!!!This is a VERY unsafe app because I got zero notifications when the offender was released and had signed up for text, call, app, and email notifications!!!.Version: 1.3.2

Update is impossibleMakes you do multiple "I'm not a robot" tests for every inquiry. If you have nothing else to do, and like puzzles with no apparent answers, this app is for you!.Version: 1.3.2

Used to love this app. Update ruined it.It used to tell who was locked up in county jail and now seems to be focused on cook county and you have to search each offender. Went from hero app to zero quckly..Version: 1.3.2

Needs an UpdateOver a year since an update & the app doesn’t save me logging in when I previously did (using iOS 15.2 on iPhone 13 Pro.Version: 1.4.2

FrustratingHow do you even get to the registration page. All it has is find on offender update registration and more resources how do you even get started?.Version: 1.3.2

Disappointed with the latest update :(Used the old version from my iPhone, since the latest update I haven't been able to as it doesn't support safari..Version: 1.3.2

Doesn’t workI can’t get pass the I it’s loading screen. Error message sometimes pops up. Other times the circle just keeps on going..Version: 1.3.2

App not working!!!Hello I just downloaded this app and it’s not working correctly! I selected my state and tried to look up a court case but was directed to an error page. It said the request was “badly formed” whatever that means. Also annoying, I couldn’t back out of the error page. I had to force close the app and reopen it. I have tried it several times, even deleting and re-downloading the app didn’t fix it. I would love to use this app if the creators can fix the errors..Version: 1.3.2

Doesn’t even work anymoreThey re-did the app a few years ago, and it’s been bad ever since. Recently it just stopped working, and crashes during search..Version: 1.40.0

DisappointedDon't waste your time with the app. It's identical to the website. Only difference is, the website loads much faster.Version: 1.3.2

Not workingI open the app, click on Hawaii and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME...for months...the app just loads for hours and never logs into the Hawaii database. It's so frustrating. I hope that in this time, I haven't missed the perp being released or some other big thing like that..Version: 1.3.2
