Aladdin Bail Bonds

The app is not very helpful. You have to call to create a username and password and if there is a question about anything (payment, court date) it is more efficient to call the branch that handled your bail. I like online and apps because sometimes that is more convienent than placing a call. This seems to defeat the purpose. It may be a case of the company figuring out the best way to delegate app features vs in person and over the phone assistance. As far as the bail process goes Aladdin gets all the stars, they were amazing and helpful and quick.

I just “purchased” this app apparently even though it doesn’t look like it’s a paid app, it clearly says it’s been purchased but it isn’t uploading to my phone. I’m reserving judgment for now with the hopes that someone will see this review and assist me in getting it downloaded, and if not then I’ll stand by the one star since I can’t even access the app, let alone review it otherwise. As far as Aladdin’s services in San Antonio, I was relatively pleased, albeit shocked by the thoroughness of the bailout procedure that was required, but admittedly I’ve never had to post bail for such an exorbitant charge before now so I’m inclined to believe that this is likely typical for a $50k bond. R.J. serviced me at almost 10pm, and had everything done within an hour. He was very straightforward about what it is that they offer, as well as what I should expect from other bail places that were not as forthcoming in disclosing their payment expectations. I had spoke with a place that seemed very shady about accepting a 3% down payment, and now obviously it’s clear that they too would’ve required a payment plan of some sort to complete the bailout process. I was under the misimpression that I only had to pay one set price and then my relative would be released to worry about it from there, but again, in hindsight how it went with Aladdin makes far more more sense of the veridical circumstances. To reiterate, this one star review is pending whether the app ever downloads but it’s specifically regarding the app itself; not Aladdin’s services which I’d rate closer to five stars if it was relevant for this particular review.
