THE CITIZENS APPLICATION IS A USEFUL TOOL/APP TO FOLLOW CRIME AND PATTERNS. I'M MORE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AND AROUND MY COMMUNITY. THE CITI_APP HAS MOTIVATED ME TO WALK AROUND MY COMMUNITY AND KNOW MORE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY... @!!WE ALL ARE A PART OF!!@

★★★★☆ Hayley Wesling · May 28, 2026

Wish it was free like the information they display should be considered free info to the public

★★★★★ Deborah Alexandria Golden · Jun 21, 2026

Love it 😀 I love knowing the down low everywhere around me! I feel so informed!

★★★★★ Betty Redding · Jun 25, 2026

Very helpful with information 👌 👍 👏 I would recommend everyone get this app to keep safe around their area and around the world 🌎

★☆☆☆☆ Bob ThePaintMan · Jun 23, 2026

Now you have to pay for the app. Sorry. But a local crime reports app shouldn't be charging $20 a month. This app went from everyone using it to nobody using it

★★☆☆☆ James · May 26, 2026

Used to be better. They decided to paywall features that are free if you know how to use a search bar.

★☆☆☆☆ loren wright · Jun 3, 2026

Everyone switches to Crime Radar!! I swear this used to be free, but now you have to pay a premium, or you get irrelevant notifications. Typical. More greedy than they are caring. You almost made a difference.
