They will ask you for a lot of personal information prior to using the app, then, after you provide that information, you will find out EVERY news article is for the USA and there is no availability for Canadian access for anything they advertise they provide. Completely useless if used in Canada. -- Wolfeyez, 2025-01-14 ### *---- "Bait & Switch app" The app advertises itself as a “safety first” app that can protect and/or aid the user in local affairs. However, most of the local uses are locked behind a subscription paywall. But for free, the app will spam you about the fires going on in another country (USA). -- Toronto Crim Lawyer, 2025-01-13 ### *---- "Does not work." Not letting me write any alert…. -- KoreanJezuz, 2025-01-12 ### *---- "Not available in Canada" Why have this app available to people in Canada if it only works for the US??? Dumb -- Tie linn, 2025-01-12 ### *---- "Don’t bother if you’re Canadian." Useless notifications about how messed up the Americans are. Cool idea but clearly not globally accessible. -- GuardYaGrill, 2025-01-08 ### *---- "Selling not what’s promised" The first notification I got after installing this app is for a bird flu case in Louisiana. I’m located in northern Quebec. Definitely don’t download this if you want real time info on your location. Garbage app. Disappointment. -- Z10283749405950404, 2025-01-06 ### ***-- "Maybe it works well for some cities." Makes you sign up for their free trial with auto subscription and fill out their personal information survey before you can even see if they have data in your city. -- SirStatic909, 2025-01-05 ### ***-- "Need in Canada ASAP" works wonders that i see on map but just 1 down side.. doesn’t work here in Canada, this app so far seems really useful and helpful tho need in Canada🤷🏻‍♂️ -- Benni🥔, 2025-01-01 [View all Citizen reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Citizen In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Citizen Premium | $7.99 | | Citizen Plus | $6.99 | | Protect Personal Monthly | $26.49 | ## Citizen Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | United States | News | #4 | | Top Free | United States | News | #8 | | Top Free | Canada | News | #27 | | Top Grossing | Canada | News | #50 | | Top Free | United States | Overall | #497 | ## Citizen Discovered Keywords - citizen - protect the world ## Apps Similar to Citizen - [ABC 7 New York](https://apptail.io/app/abc-7-new-york-sU/canada) - [ABC7 Los Angeles](https://apptail.io/app/abc7-los-angeles-YU/canada) - [New York Post for iPhone](https://apptail.io/app/new-york-post-for-iphone-xY/canada) - [Police Scanner Radio & Fire](https://apptail.io/app/police-scanner-radio-fire-dZb/canada) - [Police Scanner +](https://apptail.io/app/police-scanner-eZb/canada) - [Nextdoor: Neighborhood Network](https://apptail.io/app/nextdoor-neighborhood-network-Wxd/canada) - [Police Scanner: Crime Radar](https://apptail.io/app/police-scanner-crime-radar-ovi/canada) - [Police Scanner: Fire Radio](https://apptail.io/app/police-scanner-fire-radio-VMs/canada) - [Police Scanner App, live radio](https://apptail.io/app/police-scanner-app-live-radio-Vjv/canada) - [LA Times](https://apptail.io/app/la-times-HIL/canada) ## Citizen Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/citizen-safety-live-video-IHh/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/citizen-safety-live-video-IHh/canada) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
