Outreach Smartphone Monitoring Android

Outreach Smartphone Monitoring

Application uses GPS, screen share, video, rehab and court calendar technology.

Features & Capabilities

This app is meant to be used in conjunction with the Outreach Smartphone Monitoring web application. It allows monitoring parties such as police departments to monitor subjects who are under house arrest or have other location restrictions, or have blood alcohol content restrictions.

OSM features:

* "Check In" feature generates pass code and facial recognition video of offender

* "Check In" randomly programmed by monitoring party or voluntarily by offender

* "BAC" Blood Alcohol Content measuring feature uses an FDA approved, fuel cell, Bluetooth breathalyzer. (Use of the feature requires purchase of the Outreach Breathalyzer)

* All check-in videos reviewed by OSM staff

* "Calendar" sends push notifications reminding offender of court, testing, prescriptions, events, etc

* Emphasis on decreasing "failure to appear" rates

* Active GPS location monitoring, exclusion and inclusion zones

This app is part of a system that allows monitor parties to monitor more offenders with existing staff at no cost.

["Screen Sharing Functionality"]

Outreach Smartphone Monitoring uses screen sharing solely for live customer support and troubleshooting. Users of the app are often required to complete court- or agency-ordered monitoring tasks, including check-ins, breathalyzer testing, GPS verification, and other compliance activities. If a user experiences a technical issue, screen sharing allows support staff to guide them through resolving app, permission, Bluetooth, camera, or device-related problems in real time.
The feature is not active by default, does not run in the background without user knowledge, and is only initiated during an active support interaction. The user must approve the Android screen-sharing request before any screen content is shared and may stop the session at any time. OSM does not use screen sharing for surveillance, advertising, data harvesting, or continuous monitoring. Its sole purpose is to help users restore app functionality and complete required monitoring tasks.

[Accessibility Service API]

OSM uses the AccessibilityService API during screen sharing to allow you to draw lines, highlight components, or place markers directly on your screen in real time.

Why we use it:
- To draw visual lines and custom overlay markers over other apps while you share your screen.
- To detect touch coordinates so you can pinpoint specific items on your display.

Data Privacy:
We value your privacy. The AccessibilityService API is used strictly for these live-drawing features.
We do not track, collect, store, or transmit any on-screen data, personal information, or user interactions off your device.

User Reviews

User reviews converge on a mixed picture: the app can fulfill sobriety monitoring and support from a responsive team, but its core reliability is repeatedly problematic. Recurrent themes include unreliable or intrusive notifications, stability and battery issues, Bluetooth pairing problems with breathalyzers, missing or unsynced history data, and a lack of user-configurable settings. Most reviewers call for fixes to notification reliability, app stability, and better UX, even as some users find value in the service and the vendor's support.
Pros
  • Useful for sobriety monitoring/verification.
  • Good customer and technical support.
  • Developers are responsive and actively address issues.
Cons
  • Unreliable notifications: late or missed alerts, plus volume override that disrupts silent mode.
  • Frequent crashes, freezes, and excessive battery drain.
  • Bluetooth connectivity problems with breathalyzers/devices and requiring frequent resets.
  • History data frequently disappears or won't upload; check-in screen sometimes not available.
  • Lack of user controls: no options to customize notifications or sounds; updates introduce disruptive changes.

Got the cam unit and it worked fine. Then I was one of the ones who have an android phone so it stopped sending me notifications. It's been over a week now and it finally started working today 9-12-24 at 1:30pm. Had to check the app every 40 minutes to make sure I wasn't missing any. I believe they should have looked into this or before using it in the courts. This messes with people's freedom if it's not working properly.

I only had issues with my government issued phone (got wet; got new) have had gr8 success, no complaints. Case manager programs check ins- no inconveniences so far. UA's were coming back positive for alcohol even tho I've been abstinent. This is far better proof of my sobriety (just be careful with it around perfumes, body sprays and hair products, the alcohol will show high bac and fails!) Not to pricey, I will gladly pay since UA system is unreliable in my case
