## Citizen Reviews in Vereinigte Staaten

### *---- "Thieves"
They want me to pay 6 dollars a month and I can’t even see the news
-- chizell23, 2025-02-23

### **--- "Changed the Interface, Not as Easy to Read Alerts"
You can’t see the alerts listed anywhere.  You have to click on each icon individually.  No thank you!  I’m sure it’s because Citizen wants all of us to sign up for its paid subscription.
-- Bubbles Twinkle-Toes, 2025-02-22

### ***** "Helpful"
Great for me and my children safety also helps the community.
-- EnvyNicole, 2025-02-22

### *---- "Useless waste of money"
There are often incidents in my immediate area with site and no alert at all. Not paying for this anymore. Also all of the different subscription prices indicate no difference in selection.
-- Hellnawl, 2025-02-22

### ***-- "Review"
All options in this app must be free. Should be less complicated to use. Should nit be too dark.
-- Gregg9191, 2025-02-21

### ***-- "App crash fail"
App keeps crashing on iOS 18.3.1 on 16 pro max. Can not even launch the app. Have tried to delete it and re install it but it still is broken. Waste of money seeing as it doesn’t work now. Fix it please.
-- Bassnet422, 2025-02-20

### *---- "Great concept. Terrible app."
Great concept. Terrible app. My complaints are too numerous to type. Try the app and see for yourself.
-- meg2178, 2025-02-20

### *---- "If you don’t intend on paying don’t install…"
I’ve had this app for probably 3-4 years now. It used to be a really helpful app. Sadly though I’ve noticed in the last year or two pretty much everything now is restricted behind a pay wall even something as simple as the dispatch calls. Are you kidding me? This is a public safety app I get that running apps costs money but the monthly rates you guys are wanting to charge for public safety information is a bit above and beyond. you guys really need to unrestrict a lot of the stuff that you put behind a pay wall the app is virtually useless at this point for real time occurrences unless you pay the almighty dollar which I just don’t think makes a lot of sense considering it’s a public safety app.
-- 07714339, 2025-02-20

### ***** "Acknowledgement"
Working perfect like I expected
-- WilliamMHollla, 2025-02-20

### *---- "bunzs"

-- bdjdjddjdiekd, 2025-02-19

### ***-- "Great Concept, But Safety Shouldn&#039;t Have a Price Tag"
I recently tried out an app designed to alert users if a registered sex offender lives nearby. On the surface, it&#039;s a fantastic tool for ensuring the safety of our children and ourselves. However, I was disappointed to find out that you have to pay to see the specific details of who these individuals are. I believe it&#039;s unfair and somewhat cruel to put a price on safety. Keeping our families safe should be a right, not a privilege that comes with a fee. While the app has potential, this paywall significantly detracts from its value. Not everyone has the access to pay for this. They shouldn’t have to be excluded from safety just because they can’t pay for it.
-- Samatha13, 2025-02-18

### *---- "Safety Payeall"
Witnessed a violent incident were the victim was taken away in a car and was trying to see if there were any updates. Kept getting linked to this app. Guess I’ll never know if the victim escaped to safety or if this violent criminal was apprehended since this app is paywalled.
-- David Delores Frank, 2025-02-18

### *---- "Promises but does not deliver"
The app no longer provides city wide radio. Alerts are inconsistent. Contacted them twice. No response. I do not recommend.
-- aj102555, 2025-02-18

### **--- "Constantly Freezes"
This app constantly freezes and refuses to load after sending a push notification. For a safety app, this defeats the point……I cannot imagine paying money for this service these days. I don’t know if there’s just too many people using it and too few resources, but I have noticed this happening regardless of whether I’m connected to wifi or not. I just hope it isn’t my community or house in danger one of these days, because I’m genuinely not sure this app would actually get me the needed information. My final straw was when it sent a push notification about a plane crash, and then refused to load the story. After disconnecting from wifi, it still refused to load. After a bit, I restarted the app, and the story was nowhere to be seen. The only reason I still have this app is so that I can use notifications to seek OTHER SOURCES. Other than that, save your money.
-- Loflo28, 2025-02-17

### **--- "Ran by liberals"
You’d think an app about crime wouldn’t censor people complaining about crime
-- yoyo12121, 2025-02-17

### *---- "Creepy"
Won&#039;t even let you use the app unless you give it offline access to your precise location. Gross.
-- tuttermouse1, 2025-02-16

### **--- "Terrible UI"
If an incident has a video, the video will autoplay and you cannot close the video. You can’t minimize it or close it without closing the whole incident. It can be extremely traumatizing seeing the video with no way of stopping it. I just want to see what is going on, not watch someone die on video

Also you can no longer see a list of all current incidents happening. Seriously, the only way to look at incidents is to click on the map which can be difficult especially if there are multiple things going on in the same area. 

Terrible interface, they need to fix it. Honestly might just delete the app because of how terrible the interface is. It’s like they never had user testing or something.
-- Cow Professor, 2025-02-14

### *---- "Used to be good"
This app is blue balls.  It used to tell me what’s going on in my vicinity, but now it’s like “wanna read gossip!? Pay $24.99!” They low key are useless
-- Katiemurphy82, 2025-02-14

### *---- "I’m so over it"
This app won’t cancel my subscription even after my trail period now I’m unable to download anything this is ridiculous
-- Pearl8723, 2025-02-14

### **--- "Frequently inaccurate regarding location of incidents"
This app could be SO much better if it could be relied upon for accurate information.  I’ve written twice over the past 5 months to point out the mislabeled locations of incidents.  The first time I got a response saying it’s not their fault, the map they use must be wrong and they’d forward my corrections to the nap people.   Nothing changed.  I contacted them again a few weeks ago and have not heard back.   
Now a second location is being reported incorrectly.  It really makes me doubt the integrity of this app.
