## Description

View offender details and distances on a map to help make informed safety decisions. Note: this app uses public records and is not a substitute for official warnings or guidance.

## Review summary

Reviews largely condemn the app for misleading pricing, demanding payment to access data, and delivering outdated and inaccurate information (same dates, duplicated demographics, wrong photos). Users also report opaque onboarding, difficulty canceling subscriptions, and pushback against paying for what can be found on free sources. A minority still feels the app provides a sense of safety, but reliability and cost concerns dominate.

### Pros

- Some users feel safer using the app and believe it helps locate nearby offenders.
- The app claims to consolidate location-based offender information in one place, which some users find valuable.

### Cons

- Requires a paid subscription to view offender data, not free as advertised.
- Onboarding can feel deceptive or lengthy, with questions and prompts before any access to features or pricing.
- Data is outdated and inconsistent across entries (e.g., same offense dates like March 8, 1997; repeated birthdates).
- Information is inaccurate or unreliable (mislabeling demographics, fake or mismatched photos).
- Difficulties canceling or managing subscriptions; users report unwanted charges and refunds issues.
