## Rankings

- #44,421 — Overall

## Review summary

Reviews consistently report that the app's heavy ads, loading failures, outdated data, and missing local county information make it largely unusable. Navigation and search have degraded, and the UI feels stale. A small share still values the public safety content and wishes for removal of ads or restoration of features, but overall sentiment is negative.

### Pros

- Historically provided arrest/public safety information and was seen as useful in the past.
- Some users enjoyed the app's content and would consider paying to remove ads, indicating perceived value.
- Longstanding presence (years in operation) suggests a sizable user base.

### Cons

- Excessive and intrusive ads—ads appear with nearly every action and slow navigation.
- App frequently fails to load or spins endlessly, rendering it unusable.
- Data is outdated or not updated regularly (arrests from years ago).
- Local county information is missing or replaced by surrounding counties, reducing relevance.
- UI/UX feels outdated and unfriendly; the app has not been updated in years.
