3/5Needs a major update
The offender locator app needs a serious update. The last time it was updated was three years ago, and it’s showing the wrong pictures, birthdays, and names. I use this application to monitor potential hazards around my children’s school and local parks, and that purpose is negated due to inaccurate information. Locations may be correct, but when the description of the offender is a 50 year old black male named Stan but shows a picture of a 70 year white male named Donald, something is wrong.

3/5Offender locations need updated
During a recent search, I noticed that a registered offender that I know had moved from my parents neighborhood a couple of years ago was still listed at that address and I’m showing another registered offender from this app on my street that is not living there.

2/5Missing offenders
This app is great as far as information. However I have a sex offender that lives across the street and doesn’t show. So I searched by name and it shows correct address but 40 miles away. Obviously that’s incorrect. I have another 1 block away and also doesn’t show. Just be careful that not all pop up when searching areas your in.

3/5Subjects show up in wrong cities
I enjoy the app however I’ve noticed that certain registrants that show up in my city are actually located in a completely different city in a completely different part of the state. I think the issue is that the street address is the same. Should be an easy fix

1/5Useless garbage
This is the most inaccurate app I’ve ever seen. And with something of this nature it should be as accurate as possible. I know there is more than 4 sex offenders in Vancouver WA. My supposed to know if my kids are going to be safe or not with this app if it doesn’t give accurate information it should be taken off App Store completely. I never even write reviews. But this is something I couldn’t stay quiet about.
