User Reviews

Users praise Outreach for supporting sobriety and probation compliance with a simple, discreet device and responsive staff. However, widespread reliability issues, inconsistent test reporting, weak notifications, lack of scheduling, and background performance problems dominate feedback. Stability and better alert controls are essential for broader trust and usability.
Pros
  • Helps users stay sober and comply with probation/PO requirements.
  • Easy to use and the app/device are user-friendly.
  • Discreet device design and discreet operation.
  • Responsive and helpful support staff (e.g., Titus, Oscar) and good onboarding.
  • Reminders for check-ins and tests aid accountability.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and reliability problems; app often not functional or tests not logged.
  • Inconsistent test reporting (submitted vs. failed, 'No Reply', etc.) and lack of clear video vs. photo handling.
  • Unreliable or quiet notifications; difficulty waking users for tests (sound/alert issues).
  • No scheduling option; tests are randomized, making planning and compliance hard.
  • Background activity and battery drain; app interferes with other apps and overall device performance.

Low light detection is glitching and causing issues with passing. Very inconvenient
by Ja*****, 2026-05-20

This app and service were working flawlessly till recent update. The low light detection could not tell the difference between a black hole and a supernova. I can be standing outside high noon under the sun and it says “ low light. Try again.” Sure. Let me jump into my spaceship and travel 93 million miles closer to the sun. And it will say “video check-in submitted successfully” only to find out 10+ hours later (because you do not see the outcome for hours at times) it says Failed-Other because it to a still picture and not a video. There is no toggle for picture and video. The apps does all of it. Why say SUBMITTED SUCCESSFULLY then say failed 10+ hours later because it only took a still image of my face. Let me know in the 3hr window so I can submit another voluntarily. 130 plus blows and no issues till app update. Take screen shots to CYA people.

I have to say is that this tool has helped me stay sober. There are times where I am late but I do eventually blow. Sometimes I miss a blow and they have understanding that we are humans and sometimes we make mistakes which is very helpful and I think the young man’s name is Titus so I want to send a big THANK YOU for understanding. Now, the ease of use is amazing. It’s really not hard to do. And this thing has helped me to achieve my goals with my sobriety which is very important to me. So Thatnk you to all you OSM employees for everything.
