## Review summary

Users value the app for local crime updates and its usefulness, but repeatedly complain that data is incomplete or inconsistent (no first names or mugshots, only last names, and missing charges) and that the app crashes or became less usable after updates. Inmate communication is also hindered by restrictions. Overall, improvements are needed for full identification data, cross‑platform data consistency, and stability.

### Pros

- Keeps the community updated on criminals and safety information
- Resourceful and informative about local crime in the area
- Easy to navigate and user-friendly interface
- Overall positive support and appreciation for responders and staff

### Cons

- Only last names are shown (no first names) and mugshots are often missing, making it hard to identify individuals
- Data in the app is inconsistent or missing (mugshots/charges not shown or not in sync with the website)
- Frequent crashes and updates that reduce usability compared to older versions
- Inmate communication is restricted (difficult or impossible to email inmates; mail options are limited)
