5/5You need this if you have kids
I utilize this in the town I live in to know who the bad guys are. I actually scroll through the offenders, locations, and utilize it like flash cards. If and when I run into one of these people I immediately recognize them. I also keep track of how close they live to my neighborhood. Nice to have.

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.

3/5INCORRECT INFO IN APP!!
This app is a great idea, but they have the wrong photos paired with the wrong images. For example ... as I write this, there is a duplicated entry for a man in MA named Michael David Gilim. Both entries have the exact same information in them, but have two different images attached to them — one of a black man, one of a white man. Obviously, they can’t both be correct. I found this mistake within the first TWENTY SECONDS of using the app ... which makes it clear that it’s pretty unreliable. Five stars for the idea, but two for poor execution.

3/5Map problems
The app does find offenders but the map keeps recentering to my location and won't allow me to actually see red dots more than a few seconds until map zooms back to my location. Didn't use to do this. The lite version also has this problem. It does list names and addresses but it doesn't have the same impact of seeing a red dot just down the street.

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.
