## Description

Offender Locator is a safety-focused tool for U.S. residents to view publicly available information about registered sex offenders in their area. It compiles data from state offender registries and updates daily, giving you a single source to check proximity to your home, family, or other locations. Knowledge = safety.

Key features include GPS-based proximity views for your current location, address search, and name-based lookups with mapped offender details. The app is designed for simplicity and transparency, with easy access to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

## Review summary

Reviews consistently show the app is unreliable: data is outdated and frequently inaccurate, with uniform 1997 offense dates; core features crash or fail; offender details are wrong or inconsistent; data is incomplete and not aligned with official registries; map/navigation problems hinder viewing data. Maintenance appears lacking, raising safety concerns and prompting refund requests.

### Cons

- Data appears outdated and inaccurate (e.g., last offense dates are shown as March 1997 across many offenders).
- App frequently crashes, closes, or shows a blank screen; search functionality often doesn’t work.
- Offender details are inconsistent or incorrect (photos, ages, birthdays, aliases, tattoos).
- Data is incomplete and doesn’t match official databases (only a subset of offenders displayed; limited to 100 results).
- Map/navigation issues hinder viewing data (map recentering to current location; red dots disappear or are hard to view).
