Well, it was good while it lasted.. Such a great app, despite the constant henpecking to to upgrade. I completely understand that developers, like all the rest of us, need to make a living, and they have the right to charge for anything they choose when it comes to an app they designed. Consumers then choose what to buy based upon the value the app brings to them. Unfortunately, the developer's approach now feels like a bait (scary alerts, connections with neighbors, awesome information... for free) and switch (see how much you like it? Now you're going to pay for it). Nothing wrong with charging for this, and then evaluate how to evaluate and manage the resultant customer loss. Only the developer knows their own revenue loss tolerance and acceptable growth rate. There are many ways to generate revenue, and depending on what customers do in response to what is now a useless app unless you pay $5 per month, the developer may or may not put forth the effort to come up with an alternative revenue raising plan, perhaps one which is less dependent upon pay walls being forced between the customer and any sort of useful information. Byeeeeeee........

They miss every important event. download Citizen, you’re going to get a bunch of useless notifications about events that are happening in new york and california when you live in georgia! one or two notifications will come from your own city you live in which is good that you get any notification at all but this app misses the important info every time two cops were shot early this morning (one killed) in our city and not a peep about it on citizen. two different reports of active shooters today (mall is on lockdown so is grocery store) and still nothing on the app. The reason I downloaded this app was so I can know about these types of situations pretty much exclusively. I don’t need to know about all the other little stuff I want to know if there’s a gunman running around in public killing people and if this app cannot perform that simple basic function then it has no business being available on any platform for download at all

STOP THE GOD FORSAKEN TRUMPETS. Whyyyyyy is there no option to turn off these horribly obnoxious trumpets?? They are SO disruptive I had to silence ALL Citizen notifications. Look, I get it. The Citizen app can be a downer & they want to add positive news, but this is a total UX fail. I have pets, & I’m truly happy when a lost pet is found. But 1) I don’t use this app to feel good. I use it for helpful safety info. 2) Does my phone need a whole ROYAL announcement? Is the Queen here?? It’s not even a standard alert. Why? It’s jarring & obnoxious. And while it’s great that Citizen is being used to help locate lost pets, these aren’t helpful at all if I was never notified that the animal was missing. If I HAD been, fine. But it appears those only go out locally, so the “found” alerts just feel like a self-serving way for Citizen to go, “See?!? We aren’t always doom & gloom!” But, again, I don’t have this app to get the warm fuzzies. I want relevant, important info. I’ve been avoiding turning off the notifications for Citizen entirely, but I’m done. I’ve searched for ways to mute these specifically or change them to normal alerts. It’s too much.

Frustrated. I had no issues with this app until yesterday with a new update. I liked looking on the map and zooming in on my area to see what had occurred overnight or when we are heading home from outside the city, I could check which areas seemed to be having a concentration of incidents so I knew which route to take home. Now, the map is partially covered with descriptions of active incidents, which may not even be in my area. I liked being able to click on the incidents I wanted to know more about. Also, it is now only showing active alerts. I cannot zoom in to see past events. I’ve been all through Settings, but have not discovered a way to see past alerts. My city has a lot of crime, so I do have other ways of keeping track of things in my area, but Citizen was a great resource to find out more info (although, when my neighbor was murdered, it never showed up in Citizen). I wish this particular update didn’t happen. Not sure if I’ll be using the app much longer, as it is no longer giving me the info I need.

Not worth it anymore.. I use to love this app but now I'm deleting it. Everything is locked behind a pay wall. Once the app got popular they slowly implement it, paying features it started with Citizen Protect which was 5 a month. So, I guess since nobody was paying for that they decided to fully force you to do so if you want to continue to use the app. Things that use to be free to use with the app require a subscription which is 5 a month. Want to watch a video that was posted? Better subscribe. Want to create an alert around your work or home that's a subscription, want to see past events? You guessed it subscription! The app use to be really good and I use to sit on this app for up to 30 mins at a time looking at stuff going on in different states can't do that now subscription! I mean you can go to the other states and see the events but forget seeing any videos. Honestly, the app isn't worth having like it use to be. You do get alerts when there are things going on and you can chat but that's it!🤷🏾‍♂️

They want you to pay for safety. You guys have a really cool, great app here. I’ve used it for years to know what was going on around me in the city. It’s helped me a few times to avoid areas I was nearby when bad things started happening. I really think the new subscription model is 1) just morally wrong, to charge people for public safety information, and 2) far too expensive for the service that’s provided. I understand running the app isn’t free, and I’d hate to see ads in the middle of getting an active shooter update, but I also don’t want to pay $40 to know where the danger is at any given time. Maybe try getting donations or getting in with law enforcement and be tax-subsidized. Sell the app to fema or something if you’re trying to cash out so bad. I’m really disappointed because you have such a great product that was so handy and now it’s capitalizing on disenfranchised communities. Trying to make a buck off people trying to avoid violent crimes and dangers.

Travel. I travel throughout the city for work and it’s so very helpful to have the app because once you here sirens and see nypd racing bye you can easily see what’s happening in real time. As I walked to the train station in sunset park I heard sirens and on the app there was a guy on the train tracks at the next station which helped me to expect train delays or take a new route home. I hate being the person confused on the platform not knowing why there’s 6 thousand people waiting for the train that hasn’t come in 35 min. Now I can be informed immediately! This is one of the best apps and extremely informative that I have ever used. Instead of these apps stealing my info this one offers me information keep me safe, alert and aware no matter where I am in NY.

Bring Back Useful Version Prior to Update!. This disappointing August 2022 update now only shows what is current in your immediate area within 24 hours. This is laborious and debilitating. For parents and more, the now removed longer-term incident indicators provided a welcome snapshot of where we were heading, of the area you're traveling through, or to, or where your children are, college areas, and neighborhoods. At a glance, it gave trends and history, and data. Now it tells me nothing but partial data often out of full context for my locale - subject to the time checked. This update has greatly lessened overall safety. It lulls a false sense of security and requires unreasonable time to put together a mental map for the user, as well as search comments and video updates on recent significant area incidents. If this does not change to not only include current information on my specific locale, but also the useful and more broad prior mapped history at a glance, my entire family will be deleting this app.

Update ruined this otherwise helpful app. Opened this app after the update and discovered there’s no map any longer to view incidents in my surrounding area (even with location shared & data on). I tried closing and reloading several times without any luck. There’s a video feed now instead, which isn’t helpful because it pushes videos randomly, they’re not organized by time posted or even location nearest to me. I also can’t view the incidents from a birds eye view. Another issue with the videos is if you select an incident to view more, the app automatically turns the phone volume all the way up (way too loud) — I keep my volume off for a reason! I don’t want to disturb others if I’m checking this app in public. An app should never automatically change your phones volume, it’s not only annoying, it feels like it’s violating how i choose to set up my device. I have an iphone 13 pro - still having issues. Please fix your app.

Used to be the best app on the market. As stated, this used to be the best app out there in terms of getting up to date news. But it’s been reduced to seeing limited information about what’s going on in my little neighborhood and quite frankly? I don’t care about what’s going on in my neighborhood. You used to be able to see alerts from all over the country, then you had to navigate an extra step to see news from neighborhoods you subscribed too. Then you couldn’t see anything from any neighborhood but your own unless you paid. I downloaded Citizen years ago to keep tabs on what’s going in the larger city where I work every single day. The up to date news alerts came over sometimes faster than they’d come over on my friends police scanners. It was impressive. And I really didn’t mind paying for the quality they were once providing. However, even behind the paywall they make it IMPOSSIBLE to see the information I paid for and get alerts about it. I cancelled the subscription and now I’m deleting the app. There’s way better apps that deliver the exact same information in the exact same way that Citizen used too but I do hope they come to their senses and change things back one day.

Like a lot!. I absolutely love this app. I think it’s a genius idea! I can’t imagine that amount of work and details that goes into creating something like this. However I think there are still many improvements and changes that can and should be made. Personally some ideas and things I notice right away that could be changed: - customizable notifications, for example option to set a miles scale radius of where you want to be notified, specific types of incidents you do and don’t want notifications for, being able to choose notification alert sounds for different incidents - importantly, it’d be helpful and interesting if there were more details and updates given for these situations. I see a lot of people in the comments saying this as well, one small example is parents asking if the “man with a gun” is actually happening and wanting details because it’s near a school that’s about to end for the day and never getting an answer - a section available at the bottom bar where you can set up a list of saved customized addresses/cities/locations that you want to more easily check on - could add at the bottom of the incident links to other sources like news articles There are all kinds of new features and changes to existing features that could make this app better. This app is genius and I can see it becoming much more known and widely used in the future! Continued improving will ensure that too.

You have to pay to use app now. I've had this app for over a year now, and I really enjoyed it previously. Unfortunately, every single time open this app now, I'm bombarded with subscription notices. If you are not paying for this app, you can't really get access to much of anything. Some alerts are free, but many alerts require a paid subscription to even see what the incident is. On the incidents which are free, if you listen or watch any of the videos some stop midway and tell you that you cannot finish the recording unless you upgrade your subscription. What's the point of having a "free app," if I then have to pay to find out what the incident is? I might as well not have the app! Other problems with the application is the false alerts and unmonitored comments. The comments most of the time are rude; which often range between blaming the homeless or victims in incidences. There's no monitoring comments... beside the "don't be rude" warning you get when opening the chat box. There's a number of alerts that come through that aren't verified. Verified alerts are part of the subscription, so you very likely will get false alerts. This app relies heavily on its users as it's sources, yet turns around and makes you pay for the content they aren't paving for themselves. For a free application that was meant to let citizens know of major incidents happening around them for their safety, it sure feels like they have prioritized their own pockets before the users.

The app used to be usable now it’s exclusively pay to use garbage. The app used to let you enter your address and we’ll as friends and families locations so you could get up to date notifications about what’s happening in those areas. Now that feature among many others, that used to be free are locked behind a pay wall. The app used to give you city wide coverage of what was going on, now it only notifies you of events taking places at a maximum distance of 2.5MILES unless you pay for their stupid subscription service and they are asking an absurd price for it, especially considering most of this used to be free. It went from an app that was 8/10 usable without buying their subscription to an app that is 1/10 without buying their subscription. It’s a grotesque way to market a product especially something that deals with something as serious as life and death. I could be driving home 3 or 4 miles away, only to not be notified that on my way home I could find myself in a dangerous situation because I wasn’t within the absolutely absurdly tiny radius of 2.5 miles. This app is disgusting.

No longer a great free resource. This app used to be a great resource when it was free. Since it has become a paid app I’ve noticed less and less updates. I signed up for the paid version (Citizen Plus) only to find out that there isn’t much more information being given with it. There’s also another tier of paid version (Citizen Premium). It’s not worth the $. —- This app used to be a great free resource for local accidents/incidents. They recently updated the app and this version doesn’t give many updates anymore and baits you with minimal information trying to get you to purchase the paid version. I know effort goes into maintaining apps and that there are costs associated with it but to go from a reliable almost full access resource to a pay to play platform is disappointing. I think information regarding public safety should be available and free to the public.

No longer useful. I’ve relied on this app for the last few years to keep me aware of what’s going on in my area, however it’s really gone downhill. I recently updated the app and I can’t help but think that’s has something to do with it, as now it’s constantly pushing a subscription version. Prior, if anything odd in my area happened I could open up the app to get info and without fail there would be SOMETHING about the incident, even if just to say something general like “police activity”. However, about 45 min ago I was woken up by very clear and present gun shots and still nothing about it has showed up in the app. I would’ve thought I had dreamt the shots, except my partner heard them as well. This is the kind of thing that would've registered in the app immediately, prior to me updating, so I’m very confused why it’s not appearing now. Looking for a new alternative, as I’m not going to pay their ridiculous subscription fee for the same kind of local community driven updates I previously got for free.

Pay to use now. I’ve had this app for a couple of years now, and I really enjoyed it previously. Unfortunately, every single time I open this app now, I’m bombarded with subscription notices. If you are not paying for this app, you can’t really get access to much of anything. Some alerts are free, but many alerts require a paid subscription to even see what the incident is. On the incidents which are free, if you listen or watch any of the videos some stop midway and tell you that you cannot finish the recording unless you upgrade your subscription. What’s the point of having a “free app,” if I then have to pay to find out what the incident is? I might as well not have the app! Other problems with the application is the false alerts and unmonitored comments. The comments most of the time are rude; which often range between blaming the homeless or victims in incidences. There’s no monitoring comments… beside the “don’t be rude“ warning you get when opening the chat box. There’s a number of alerts that come through that aren’t verified.

For a free application that was meant to let citizens know of major incidents happening around them for their safety, it sure feels like they have prioritized their own pockets before the users.

Used to love this app…. This app was extremely useful years ago but has become nothing but a money grab and it’s honestly kinda gross. They’ve added a map layer that shows you how many sex offenders are around you but you have to pay to see the photos and read the info for said offenders. Like at least support keeping women and children safe without a fee!! Tell me a man runs this app without telling me a man runs this app. You can’t listen to audio without paying. And I guess you can’t see videos either now unless you pay. Videos users are posting for free, mind you. The comments used to be helpful neighbors chiming in but no one takes the app serious anymore so now it’s more often than not just a bunch of sick humor and snarky sometimes vile replies (and I’m a girl with dead parents and hella dark humor about it so when I’m disgusted that’s saying something.) Citizen is losing quality all while features disappear for the poors. And it’s the poorer neighborhoods with the higher crime rates - people who can’t afford to pay can no longer be as informed to keep themselves safe. It’s really unfortunate and short-sighted. Or maybe it’s just pure greed.

Not healthy. Update: WARNING This is not about safety: you cannot report an incident without paying the premium. WTH!? The app is mostly oandering to Racism, Fearmongering and Censorship. This app censors by blocking certain stories from any comments. Since you can only provide input by comments or using their Go-Live feature, you cannot provide valuable feedback/reporting that isn't either completely censored or becomes the property of Citizen. [end update] Sadly, this app profits from fearmongering, hateful bigots commenting and recruits people to police like George Zimmerman. I do appreciate a way to know why there's activity in my neighborhood BUT this irresponsible business model is not it. You cannot expect bigots and hatemongers to police their comments. The racist details given are not descriptive they're classifying. I can not recommend this service. It's more toxic than helpful. And it's become unhealthy entertainment for profit.

Very Different App These Days. I've been using Citizen for a couple of years now. It used to be great, particularly around the height of the COVID pandemic. However, everything is now behind a paywall. You can't post any incidents or view old ones that happened not even a week ago. It's useless unless you pay the premium. What's the point of an app called "citizen" to be fueled by local "citizens" when really you can't even rely on it unless you pay! I remember being able to easily navigate the app and getting prompt notifications. Now, notifications come "late." "Late" because Citizen notifies you of some really worrying incidents that, after you tap on the notification to take you to the app, turns out to be SO OLD or reported SO LATE that YOU CAN'T EVEN VIEW IT ANYMORE! The real-time notifications are used to lure you into the app to try and get you to... yup. To pay. What a joke this app has become. It's a shame because it's supposed to help the community.

This App Needs a Trigger Warning. This app has progressively gotten worse about sending triggering content in notifications and not censoring things appropriately in posts, to the point where I am deleting it. It didn’t seem to be as big of an issue when I downloaded the app years ago, but it seems like those pushing out the content have forgotten that their subject matter is people. I understand the importance of funneling people away from crime/accident scenes but sending out information about suicides and accidents is an entirely different scenario than an armed criminal on the loose and at times it feels like they all get treated the same. I got this app to be more aware of real time incidents, not to be triggered opening my phone on my lunch break or to see gory footage/photos at all, let alone without warning. The people running this seem to have forgotten that they are humans reporting on human events. I understand having a job that requires needing to dissociate at time to get it done, I have one too, but they need to remember how to flip the switch back to humanity.

No Longer Free:. At the beginning Citizen App was my go to place to see any incidents where I need to steer clear from. Very helpful by the way!! Whether I was driving/riding transportation or walking. Citizen App allowed its users to gain free access to know what is happening in their own neighborhood. When otherwise they would not know. All for free!!! Now I understand keeping an app updated may cost $$. Even fixing bugs may cost $$. But if this was the cause why wouldn’t the developers of Citizen App charge from the very beginning when it opened to the public. The information that they receive is from police scanners, which is free!! But now every thing on Citizen App you are harassed with subscription pop ups! You cannot see past incidents with out being bombarded with a subscription pop up. You cannot read nor view live footage without being blocked by a subscription notification. So I question what is the sense of having Citizen App downloaded on my phone if I cannot view anything. Thanks but good luck!

Not accurate, have to pay.. I downloaded this app months ago and barely used it. I’ve worked in public safety and love to keep up with what’s going on in my area so thought I give it a try. I’ve had police scanner apps and others including my personal favorite, Pulse Point. Well the other day I got a Citizen notification for a traffic Crash 1.5miles away. So I naturally go on pulse point to listen to the local FD. Pulse point allows you to see in real time what calls FDA are on and even listen to the scanner feeds. To my believe there wasn’t any reported accident! Hmm strange but didn’t think anything of it. Well now the last few days I’ve been getting accident notifications however I’m unable to verify it on Pulse point. Nothing! So either Citizen app are creating false reports to keep me engaged on the app or there’s a serious flaw in the app. Which gets me into the next flaw. You have to pay a ridiculous amount a month to “feel safe” with this app even tho it’s not accurate. Like others have said you’re better off looking on social media or having the ring app. Note pulse point is only for FDs so it doesn’t have police info but it was the app I used to fact check Citizens app. So if your still looking for a app that shows police activity you’ll need to keep searching because citizens app is not it.

Could of been a great app. This app had potential but they completely flopped it for greed. They want you to pay 5 dollars a month for inaccurate information. When I click on the registered sex offenders map it only shows 1 person living close to me and I have to PAY to see any details even though that information is free!? When going to the sex offender FREE website it says 5 sex offenders living close to me and I can see pictures, details about their cases, and full addresses. Kinda wrong of you to have people pay for something that is publicly free especially when your not even accurate about it. Secondly I've had this app for about a month now. Nothing ever ever happens around me. Which I know isn't true cause I live in a terrible area and actually had a car accident happen right infront of my house. No word about it on the app. Do not recommend this. A good app to keep up with what's going on around for free is called "Nextdoor" 10/10 recommend that one.

Need improvements. I like the app, but there are several things I find incredibly annoying. First, I just passed an incident but cannot figure out how to post it without video. I don’t want to, nor was I allowed to stand there and record a dozen police cars responding to reports of a home intruder, but I can’t find another way to post it. So the incident isn’t on the app and it doesn’t appear that it’s going to be. Second, I can’t filter out reports by a certain radius. I live in a decent size city, and a report of a house fire or dumpster fire 2.5 miles away from me means absolutely nothing. It’s just annoying. I get constant notifications and now it’s like the boy who cried wolf - I ignore every single one of them because 99% are so far away from me they don’t impact me at all. I’m definitely going to delete the app if they can’t sort that out, because now it’s just interrupting me while I’m at work or enjoying time out without giving me valuable information.

Another Pointless Subscription Based App. I’ve had this app for a few years now, and I really enjoyed it previously. Unfortunately, every single time I open this app now, I'm bombarded with subscription notices. If you are not paying for this app, you can't really get access to much of anything. Some alerts are free, but many alerts require a paid subscription to even see what the incident is. On the incidents which are free, if you listen or watch any of the videos some stop midway and tell you that you cannot finish the recording unless you upgrade your subscription. What's the point of having a "free app," if I then have to pay to find out what the incident is? I might as well not have the app! Other problems with the application is the false alerts and unmonitored comments. The comments most of the time are rude; which often range between blaming the homeless or victims in incidences. There's no monitoring comments... beside the "don't be rude" warning you get when opening the chat box. There's a number of alerts that come through that aren't verified. Verified alerts are part of the subscription, so you very likely will get false alerts. This app relies heavily on its users as it's sources, yet turns around and makes you pay for the content they aren't paying for themselves. For a free application that was meant to let citizens know of major incidents happening around them for their safety, it sure feels like they have prioritized their own pockets before the users.

Decent enough. I haven’t used any other apps like this, so I can’t say much. However, it’s got a good ui and is easy to navigate. My main issue is that there’s a red bar at the bottom of the app screen telling me, no - insisting that I change my location settings for the app. It blocks the bottom of the map, and when I select an incident it blocks the little info card that pops up. I get it - you can’t warn me of danger if you don’t know where I am, of course. But it’s SUPER annoying not to be able to close that dialogue bar. My issue with keeping location limited to while using the app is not privacy related, it’s battery related. Location services chew up my battery life. If my phone dies, not only can’t the app warn me, but I can’t call for help either! Let us disable that dumb bar each time we open the app. I don’t mind being reminded, this is pushy though. Loses two stars for that.

Time stamp on videos. I like the app but it would be more helpful if the videos were posted in chronological order or if they had time stamps. I was just following an important event in my neighborhood and I had a hard time figuring out if there were new developments and videos would have helped, especially because the updates being posted in real time were confusing and accurate. Since there is no time stamp on them (unless you select each video individually, select the user, then select the video again) it is impossible to determine if new ones have been added, so you have to keep scrolling through them. It’s very impractical when you have numerous videos to go through. Also, there should be better monitoring of the videos posted (some of them are completely useless). And there should be an age limit. Children should not be playing with this app. There was a five alarm fire tonight in my neighborhood and a young boy was playing reporter with his parents’ permission. Unacceptable and disrespectful. Other than that, it’s a very useful app.

You need to pay for everything. I've had this app for a couple of years now, and I really enjoyed it previously. Unfortunately, every single time I open this app now, I'm bombarded with subscription notices. If you are not paying for this app, you can't really get access to much of anything. Some alerts are free, but many alerts require a paid subscription to even see what the incident is.

Less useful than it should be. I liked that if I heard sirens I could open up the app to see what was going on. However, recently the app has been updated to basically reduce the amount of local information that’s brought to users. Before the update, I could scroll through a long list of incidents in the area and see dozens of dots throughout my community. Now I only see a handful of incidents in my local area. There is a long list of trending incidents such as… a mudslide in Beverly Hills? An incident in the Bronx? Both of which are several hundred miles away from me?? I don’t understand why the list of “trending incidents” from cities that aren’t even remotely close to my own is longer than the list of incidents in my own city, or why I can even see those incidents in the first place. If I was connected to people who live in those cities, maybe that would make sense, but I don’t really care about a two-vehicle collision that happened on an interstate in Chicago. If it’s significant enough, I’ll see it in the news. If they change the app back to the way it was, it would be really helpful if there was a way to sort the list of incidents, such as by most recent or by proximity. The list of incidents didn’t seem to be in any particular order and you’d have to comb through them to find what was happening in the last few minutes versus incidents that occurred several hours ago.

Fun and informative.. UPDATE: The always-on location requirement has become even more intrusive (ie you can't use the app without allowing always-on location access). One star and deleted. ====== Woulda been a 5-star review but the app just started prompting for always-on location access EVERY time you open the app. Not cool. Annoying enough that I'm now considering deleting an app that I tend to check on a daily basis. EDIT: The developer was kind enough to respond to my review clarifying that they do indeed perform the action that I've claimed is intrusive and annoying. But it's ok because they promise to protect my privacy in the process. "Hi there, Citizen's mission has always been to keep people informed and protected by using technology responsibly. We ask that you enable your location settings so that Citizen can work in the background, even when you're not using the app, to send you real-time, sometimes life-saving crime and safety alerts. We understand some users are concerned about their privacy when sharing their location data. We can assure you that Citizen protects all user data by storing as little as necessary to run our safety network. We encrypt all data and connections. And we will never share or sell user data to third parties. If your settings aren't properly configured, you will see a reminder to update them. You can dismiss that modal to continue into the app, but it will appear again the next time you open Citizen."

Helpful, but.... Why on earth do I have to pay money to see sex offenders?? It's literally free information that I can find on Google easily. The fact that they're putting free information behind a paywall is absolutely ridiculous. There's so much stuff that you have to pay for on this app, and it makes you wonder: does this company actually care for your safety, or do they just want your money? You shouldn't have to pay just to feel safe. Other than the abundance of pay-to-use features, this app is pretty helpful. I like being notified of important events in my area and country. The only other thing I'm not a fan of is the comment section. On every tragedy, there's a bunch of immature kids mocking deaths. I understand it's nice to communicate with others in your community about important information, however the comments get increasingly toxic every time I look at them.

Used to be great. It has just landslided downhill as it’s been updated. Even with location on all the time, I rarely get notified about incidents and there’s no way to full screen the map to see what’s around you. Plus the “zoom out” button makes no sense anymore. It used to just show you a wider area of your location. Now it just centers on seemingly random location and my location will be on the far right or far left of the screen. It also used seems it used to show everything that was going on around, no matter how big or small. Now it always has no reports, green. There can’t be absolutely NOTHING going on. When I first started using the app, there were reports all over at any point in time. Now it’s like the app picks and chooses what to show you. I’ve sort of forgotten about the app honestly. And it’s inching towards the list of apps to be removed for inactivity.

App is in a nose dive. Had this app a couple of years. It was funish. Could see somewhat how many car accidents were around me. Usually you could tell what police or fire activity was going on. Once it notified me of my apartment dumpster on fire. Not really useful but decent info to know. Now the notifications are mostly gone and everything you press brings up a subscription notice. If you are not paying for this app, you can't really get access to much of anything. And there is zero reason to pay for a twentieth the notices that it had before. Some alerts are free, but many alerts require a paid subscription to even see what the incident is. On the incidents which are free, if you listen or watch any of the videos some stop midway and tell you that you cannot finish the recording unless you upgrade your subscription. I get being paid for work, but this app requires a wide base of people reporting or professional access to systems they don’t have. I’m done

Do not download this app. It’s a dumpster fire that only gets worse.. I had this app months ago when they didn’t have a premium service and it was nice to see what sort of things were happening in the are but they would frequently alert me that “*my wife* had been in extreme proximity to a (shooting, car crash, etc…)” which was all a marketing ploy to try get me to open the app and look through the ads they’d serve so they could get paid. They essentially would fabricate a near personal crisis for users to get them to use the app. How horrid, disgusting, inhumane and most of all— manipulative. I recently downloaded to see if I could figure out some info on a recent collision at a crossroads near my work and any sort of relevant info is locked behind a paywall with misleading information and false incidents posted frequently to try to get you to upgrade to the full premium service. They don’t care about public safety, information, or their customers. All they want is a quick buck in any dirty way they can get it. Don’t support the low life devs who designed this it’s an awful glimpse in how people use technology and information to exploit others emotionally and financially. What a scam. Google some news in your area if you need reliable, trustworthy and free information that won’t rob you of your self respect.

Needs to be able to flip to landscape on a tablet, but great tool. I am working and building a GSOC for work, and while we don’t have the other tools set up, this is a great tool for finding out what’s going around near any of our 68 locations I have to track. My only grip, and its something hopefully the devs will consider is that when using this on a tablet with a keyboard to fill out a GSOC report, it does not flip to landscape. This is a massive 12.9 inch iPad Pro with a keyboard it isn’t convenient to have to take it and rotate it to use the app then back to fill out the report. Fix that and you have a great tool. I like having access to things quickly with pictures and videos. Someone said that a parade is not something that should be on here, I disagree it impacts my buildings greatly from coast to coast and I want to know about it and see it. So great app, great tool, make it rotate to landscape please!!!!

Issues w/no support getting resolve. I signed up for this app over a year ago. Used it very often then all of a sudden, when trying to sign in , I kept receiving a message; retry over count. Tried a few more times, receiving same pop up message. Then received a message to try again in 24 hours. Waited until next evening, tried once again to sign in, same lock out. After 2 weeks of this issue, I emailed support. They told me to do same thing as previous pop up messages. Let them know, already had done exactly what had been suggested and had deleted app and downloaded again before contacting support so when they said to try deleting, had already tried. I decided to try it again, now that tech support was supposedly looking into my account and why this was occurring. Waiting 24 hours -48 hours and deleting app, then downloading again several times over a Month, NEVER heard from support again, I decided to rate & write this review. Such a shame to have a possible useful app tool But, what good is it, if you can’t get signed in and when asking Citizen Support to help correct/resolve bugs/issues and they don’t, well……..?!!😡

Moderation and UI of Comments. To begin with, I use citizen in the LA region, this is a nice app to have on hand just cause theres helpful reference of alerts in my area. Great examples would be of Covid alerts and other Major Event alerts. First problem that comes up is constant and inconsistent changes to parts of the app. Layouts will be different (sometimes from alert to a different alert) and glitchy. I dont mind redesigns, but why is glitchy and different each time in small shorts-pans. I rather the app gets no changes for a while and comes out with a less buggy update. Second of is user to user interaction, why have replies if there is no way to revisit quickly to see if someones reply. Furthermore, the comments section itself are very buggy. And now lastly, the lack of moderation, blatantly bigoted, racist, homophobic, hateful rhetoric and other harmful comments are made constantly on it. And it flies. Its hard to continually keep reporting comments if theres so many, and the UI constantly bugs out. (To Note: I have an iPhone 14 with the latest IOS and most current update of the Citizen app) I want citizen to be aware of the type of audience they’re attracting and to take time into their app as a whole. Please invest more into the programming staff and make this app better. Right now as it stands, not much is keeping me here. And it’s unfortunate because it has potential.

Text messages alerts from users who are also on this is an app. I’ve recently installed this app on my phone and I’ve added some of my contacts who currently uses the citizen app. The issue I’m having is whenever those contacts text me I have absolutely no way to know that they text me unless I physically unlock my phone and check my text messages. There are absolutely no alerts at all to prompt me to check my phone whenever I receive a text message. I’ve contacted tech-support after trying everything within the app and on my phone to troubleshoot this issue myself. It is taking them over 12 days to simply answer my question as to why this is happening. Meanwhile, this has been happening for months now since installing this app on my phone and it is becoming a major inconvenience. I will give them a few days and if nothing has been resolved I will be deleting the app, contacting everyone whom I’ve added and shared this app with to let them know that I’m no longer using it. I could also go on and on about the types of notifications that I am receiving in conjunction to the area where I live and the privacy concerns. It’s just not worth the headache in my opinion, but this would make this review too long and the information contained within may not be red because it is so long.

Doesn’t show ANYTHING anymore - unless you pay. Citizen used to be good. Now, though, you don’t see any local incidents except what seems like a random selection of a few (<10) throughout the city, and they want you to pay to play. And if they don’t even show you at least a map of incidents and a short description without paying, then how can you trust that anything more would show if you did pay? It will sometimes show an incident happening in another state that has made national news - which I understand, and I do want to see those. But other times it will send a notification for something happening in my state, but a different city, for no apparent reason (just local crime, not something big) - while not alerting on anything happening in my city! You can’t get past much in the app without hitting a paywall, to the point where if you do see something relevant, you can’t see everything because you have to pay. And those sex offender alerts? Yeah, that’s just an ad for a paid feature giving you information that I’m pretty sure you can look up for free somewhere else. The last straw was at 4:30 this morning - there was a swat situation about a mile from my house, an officer was killed, another injured, the suspect and two people inside the house dead. What did Citizen have to say about that? Absolutely. NOTHING. No alert, not so much as a pin on the map. So why have the app at all? Well, I don’t have it anymore because I deleted it.

Good Idea, Poor Execution. Citizen REALLY needs to allow users to set a notification radius. For example, I don’t need to be notified about an incident almost 30 miles away from me. I straight up don’t care about it. What I would care about though is everything within about a 1.5 mile radius. But I can’t do that. Because you don’t have that feature it actually carries a few negative impacts for the users. 1. I am complacent, the Citizen app gives me the perception that I am being spammed because I am notified multiple times per day about events that don’t and won’t impact me. 2. I don’t actually know how close something might be until I open the app. Whereas if I had a radius setting and was notified I would know to be alert right away. Potentially saving precious time. 3. Because I am getting notified of things 30 miles away or further, e.g. Washington D.C. Citizen ironically entirely fails to notify me of things within the zone I care about the most. 4. I am honestly getting tired of all these notifications that are ultimately meaningless to the original intent or advertised intent of the app. I have uninstalled the app because I am so tired of the constant spamming. It’s unfortunate because I really like and support the original intent. But if users don’t have control of their radius then it is ultimately useless. Once this is corrected I will gladly reinstall the app. I hope this finds the right hands, Paul Heinrich

Dangerous and not to be trusted. I just installed this app about 30 mins ago and was immediately confronted with subscribing to Citizen’s premium service. It was then suggested that I allow access to my contacts so that I could add my Emergency contacts, which meant I would be sending invites to join Citizen to each contact I would add (given they do not already use Citizen). Last but not least, I was warned that I need to enable & allow the app to always allow access to my phone’s location. I then decided to look around and saw that there was no notification 
fence to limit a certain area of interest, for example 1.4 mile radius. I closed the app & when I later opened it, I was again met with being asked to subscribe to the premium service. It was then I did a web search on the legitimacy of this app & though this app is legitimate, it is not officially supported by official sources & notifications are driven by employees of Citizen listening & combing through police scanners, as well as crowd-sourced. This is troubling for me b/c without official support, there is a potential for false alerts b/c of the lack of oversight (verification) which in turn is extremely dangerous in today’s society. I will not be using this app for this reason in addition to the constant push for the premium service. Until this app is officially supported I cannot recommend this app.

Beware. Beware of the “premium safety service”/“protect service” which is one quick click (with only a tiny “skip” in the top right corner) and seems like part of the set up process but actually is a $199 (!!!) charge if not cancelled after the 14 day free trial. I find it interesting that if you want to buy a $1 coffee using your phone you have to use Touch ID, or enter every single detail of your credit card, or some form of ridiculous, excessive verification, but they can basically deceive people into buying a $199 subscription with no verification. Not to mention the fact that Apple buries subscriptions within your phone, and the ability to cancel it, so users who aren’t familiar with iPhone minutiae won’t know how to terminate it. Or will have to deal with a huge headache of trying via Apple support. And let’s be honest they won’t refund it after the fact when you get the surprise charge from Apple on your statement and call to dispute it. Which is so messed up cause they clearly designed the set up to intentionally deceive! People are hurting right now and this is what companies that we rely on for Covid updates are doing to its users! And Apple allows it. Disgusting.

Who cares if we die…right?. As a security officer who’s always getting notifications of gunman literally a blocks away, I hate that I can’t hear the police say the description of the shooter/ gun flasher because there’s a report a half city block from me that he’s on the loose targeting security officers…idk what he looks like because you request us to pay for something that really shouldn’t require payment. Do you need to pay to scroll the news? No you don’t. Do I have to pay a police officer to tell me the description of a criminal? No I don’t because they’re providing a public service and aren’t greedy. They actually want to help. So instead of making us pay for this, actually create something that you can make money off of because at this point you’re just saving the rich who can afford this which is probably 20% of your downloads and 60% of your revenue. Making it free will help/ save people. What am I going to do with hearing only 3 seconds of the dispatch recording huh? That’s enough time to say “suspect” and that’s it. Get off your high horse, realize you won’t be able to sell this app ever because you don’t want to help people you just want to tease them for money. But whatever, right? Who cares if this gunman comes to kill me, right? You’re obviously on the line between supporting people and criminals.

There should be text-based incident reporting. I work at a school. We had a lock down situation in which I didn't know what was happening - just that we were in lock down and could not leave our rooms. The incident happened right after final dismissal and I was alone in my classroom, with the lights out and trying to be absolutely silent. I wanted to report the incident on Citizen but I did not want to show live video or make any sound at all. I thought there would be some way to type an incident report but I couldn't see a way to do that on the app. Fortunately the situation turned out to be less dangerous than it could have been and the whole thing was over within 45 minutes, but it would have been great to submit a report to try to get some information about what was going on from the community. Generally the app is good, and the idea behind it is great, but you can't always shoot video or talk.

New Update Doesn't Help Me Feel Safe. I have been using this app for quite a bit now and I have honestly loved it up until now. It has let me know when a neighbors home was broken into, people shot in my area, and just a general idea of what's going on. After the newest update where they decided they're not going to update the app with certain incidents has made me truly not like this app anymore. I used this to help me feel safe in my city and know what police, criminal, and fire activity is potentially happening around me. The app only updates with certain events now that span out over days rather than incidents throughout the day. There was a shooting earlier with the police helicopter looking for someone today and nothing about it on Citizen App... it's just disappointing as a woman to now have to rely on something else to warn me.

Change It Back to the Old Format. This app was great when it reported more on local alerts. It was super useful and I used it so often Citizen reached out to me about potentially being an influencer when the app first went live in my city. After the update a few months ago, the app is worthless. You might see a few alerts about your actual city, and then a ton of alerts for LA, Baltimore, NYC, and Chicago. I don’t live in any of those cities and thus I do not need those alerts—I live in Cleveland and since this is a high crime city, it’s more advantageous for me to see alerts for here. I called 911 last month about a shooting at the end of my street. Prior to the update that changed the layout, I would have seen that immediately on the app. Now? Crickets. It’s shameful to eliminate crucial coverage in favor of showing alerts for irrelevant cities. I’ve debated deleting this app because it’s just not even close to how it used to be.

Helpful, but Regularly Negative & Paranoia Inducing. This app is certainly helpful for crime info and being aware of what kind of commotion is happening throughout the city. Although- something that is obnoxious about this app is when notifications are sent out to all users of a city or nationwide, it’s regularly discouraging or negative information. I think I’ve seen maybe one or two positive information notifications. I could see this app fueling people’s paranoia or triggering fear on the regular for some. It’s not helpful when notifications regularly paint a grim picture of COVID-19 or constantly reporting upticks in COVID or crime in the area on a regular basis. I think Citizen needs to fix their information approach. Stay objective of course, but there needs to be a better approach with information reporting.

Amazing business decision to lock features that were previously available behind a pay wall. You have to be extremely terrible at business to think that it is a good idea to lock features that were available before behind a pay wall. Before I was able to see all of the alerts in my area even alerts from several days ago. Now if I wanna see some thing that happened just two days ago, I have to pay for the "plus" tier. i'm going to be honest with you citizen: no one is going to do this. Absolutely no one. In fact, less people are going to be using your app because now it's totally unfunctional. You click an event that happened only to see that it is locked behind the plus tear basically everything you see on the map is locked behind the plus tear. What's the point in even using this app if you can't see a single thing that has happened. What's the point and using the app? If you can't see anything that has happened. It's useless. And it's being uninstalled.

Please allow the option to report/remove useless comments. While I have seen police/ambulance at the scene of several nearby reports, 95% of the comments I this app are useless. For example, a child was missing and to find more information, one would have to scroll through hundreds of comments criticizing the parents, people giving opinions on disciplinary actions that parents should take etc...none of those comments were relevant to the missing child. The app needs to figure out a way to allow other users to report a comment that’s useless and after X number of reports- those user accounts are banned. It is useful when comments are from people nearby who have witnessed something as to alert other people but this accounts for about 5% of the comments. They need to fix this or people who use the app for legitimate information will stop using the app.

INSANE Paywalls; They Don’t Care About Us Anymore. Used to be free. Everything on there is public information that you can get for free, just takes longer to use another site and other sites won’t alert you as far as I know. Their paywall blocks 99% of settings so you’ll get EVERY notification (sometimes the exact same one over multiple days) from coast to coast. It’s like the boy who cried wolf every time I hear it. Stresses me out that something might be happening nearby. They do this on purpose so we'll cave in and pay the $20+ per month. Horrible. I’m a young, fairly attractive woman living in a sketchy area of Denver. I got this app to get timely alerts while I’m out since I walk or take public transportation. I’m security for high profile events as well. This app used to give me some peace of mind. It’d be real nice if they didn’t get greedy and genuinely cared about our safety, because I can’t afford this now. They even block off all the info and blur the photos of newly registered seggs offenders! Citizen app did a total 180° on their morals. Totally disgusting!

This is such a good app. At first when I saw a ad about this app I thought it was the type of app where it was lying and the app was a scam saw reviews about it decided to download it it sent me a notification about what just happen saying there a police helicopter not that far from here I look outside I actually see one wow. The app is amazing I suggest you download this app tap a 5 star rating on it. The thing about this app is that everything it tells you is true about what is happening around you it always tells you so then your prepared. But after all it is a good app. And make sure to give it a 5 star rating if you like it

Safety Comes At A Price. Every time I open this app it is more aggressive about selling me a subscription and it seems every day more features are locked behind this paywall. It is a shame to see this resource become less and less accessible. The app sends alerts for local incidents, and users are able to share videos and information about the incident; it is actually a marvelous app for safety and alertness. I’ve been using the app for years and find it extremely useful, but for an app that relies so heavily on users sharing information, it is especially egregious to use such heavy-handed monetization tactics. It feels especially slimy when you are trying to obtain information about a serious nearby safety concern, like a shooting, for example, and you receive instead “give us money for Citizen Plus!” It’s truly a society when “keeping your neighbors informed” comes with a price tag.

Gone downhill. The app has definitely gone downhill the past couple of years. I get alerts for other states. (I’m fine with missing people, no need for other stuff.) I used to get alerts for my local area, and could see a list of previous alerts for a long time. I also would get alerts for the current area I was in, but also alerts for near my home, since that’s how I signed up. (The free version even.) Now I hardly get alerts for anything anywhere. And half the time, it won’t accept a post without a picture. Like if it’s a fire or vehicle accident. Other small stuff, it accepts, but when we go by to see it, no evidence anything happened. They need to go back to their old ways, and charge less since they don’t provide much. It’s not worth it.

Weird on Covid. For a year and a half, they reported local stats of wherever you opened the app. Now, they quit updating it after Dec. 22. The reported R rate in the running total didn't match the rate in the quick overview, and even the historical rate would be "amended" back a few weeks whenever a new scare was out. I was tracking it in October when it got down to .72 locally, then all the headlines were shouting warnings, and then the *historical* ratings were amended to as high as 1.32 for dates that had preciously been under 1.0! Happened at least three different time periods, all connected to time periods when the official US state media was telling everyone the situation was dire. Also can contact trace. Other than that, can be a helpful app.

Gone Downhill over money. This app was created so local citizens can be aware of what’s going on around them. It used to be great and reported faster than the news did and it was free. Now you have to pay for a subscription to have access to free public information. All they are doing is reporting things they hear from the police scanner, and then people can, and upload videos and go live in order to watch the videos. You have to pay for a subscription, but you are more than welcome to read false comments and opinions from the public but their info is t accurate. They are charging to here clips from police scanner when you can download and listen to a police scanner app for free. They no longer care about citizens and their safety. All they care about is getting a little money in their pockets.

Useful. Citizen is useful to have in order to be informed. At times i am home and i hear the sirens going outside and i really don’t have to wonder what is going on in the neighborhood because it comes up. Citizen is also practical to know what streets are more dangerous or what crimes are taking place in your area. Also they can be ahead of the news since the members of citizens record whats going on at the scene you get a closer view. My only complaint is that when i open the app when i am outside my home it doesn’t work, but that might not be Citizen’s direct fault but that of my internet connection. I have told others about it... it is a great app to download. And its free!

One major issue. Love the app but even with the feature to select the area of your location/ specific to your home, the app will still notify you of every shooting/homicide in the entire city- all of the bigger crimes that sadly go on just about every day and especially throughout the night. Citywide alert should be restricted to severe weather threats, major pile up accidents, catastrophic incidents, not of a one/two victim crime. Of course, this app works best when notifications are always on, to get any insight of immediate dangers but with the app going off day and especially during the night w alerts of shooting victim and such, which are no where near me makes it impossible to use the app as intended. As sad as these almost nightly occurrence are, they are not within my selected field.

Some VITAL features are “pay to use” and it’s INSANE.. I’m a young girl in the Bronx, an obvious dangerous area with a high crime rate. I go to school BY MYSELF using public transport to get to and from school. This warrants for a lot of encounters from creepy men on buses, trains, and the streets even. Taking this into account, the Citizen app comes in clutch from time to time since i get updates when an incident’s taken place near me. Then that way I know what places I should distance myself from and be able to take the proper precautions to avoid danger. What really bugs me; and this is where the creepy encounters from men come in, is that for some odd reason the developers decided to make the list of sex offenders in my area a pay to use feature? This is really disconcerting for a variety of reasons, and that should be REALLY obvious. I’m not going to state the reasons why in the first place this is so actually vile, because it should be clear enough. Of course, there’s other things on this app that really shouldn’t be pay to use, but this is what bugs me the most. I really hope you guys come together and choose to collectively come to your senses and fix this, because it really isn’t cute. Thank you. :)

Never Knew. This app right here a surly a snitch lol. It tells everything, well mostly. I get notifications as soon as I hear sirens....Helicopters... or Gunfire.. accidents 😢 it tells you the exact location... what’s going on... how many miles away of the incident. It shows you on a live satellite map exactly how far from your residence the incidence is as well as the address. I can even see if any family members that are linked in any city are near trouble. You can even hear actual police calls. I gave it 4 stars only because of the anxiety it’s caused me, I didn’t know so much was going on in my neighborhood. I guess looks are deceiving. This app will definitely let you know what’s going on.

Love this. I’ve only had the app for one week but I am loving it already I was hoping for updates of what’s going on in my area whether it be a protest a fire or whatever else and I’ve already received plenty of that and in incredibly quick times. Plus it’s very interactive in that I was also able to see videos shortly after the incident started of what’s going on. For example there was a fire in my neighborhood a block away. I was notified of it and then a few minutes later I heard the fire engines. And then I was going to walk over to see what was going on and somebody was already posting a video of it. I cannot recommend this app more highly.

Waaaaaaaaaay to many frivolous notifications. I live in a big city, awesome. I don’t need to know about a dog getting reunited with its owner 6 miles away across town( I got 4 separate notifications in one day about this). I get so many notifications from this app that are useless to me. Virus info, don’t care. National blah blah, don’t care. Citizen radio live now, don’t care. I just want to know what is happening around me, the reason we all downloaded the app. I tried to limit notifications and I still got the most random stuff. I turned off notifications over a month ago and tbh I totally forgot about the App. It’s like your pesky little brother that bugs you to prove it’s still there and useful. They just want to ramp up DAU and MAU so they spam your notifications. The sooner you shut the notifications off the better off you will be. The app had one purpose and it WAS good at it. Now it’s spiraling out of control.

Needs tweaking. Great concept. Two issues need to be addressed: 1) The developers need to enable “filtering of events” so that the map only shows events from the time frame the user designates. For example, you should be able to filter for events that have occurred in the past 24hrs. Or even events that have occurred over the past 2hrs. Or even a map that shows only events that have been reported within the past 30 minutes... 2) In baltimore we frequently get reports of carjackings etc that are 10 hrs off from the the time that it actually occured. The app states that “carjacking was reported on june 6” but does not report the time that the carjacking actually was called in to 911, or even the time that the victim states it occurred. Instead, it gives a time many hours later.

Barely usable. The app is barely usable with recent updates. Before you could easily click around to see recent incidents, and it was really clear what was free vs premium. Now, it’s like navigating a dense field of landmines - 99% of my clicks end up landing me on a page trying to upsell me to the premium version. The map has incidents from within the last 1-2 months, but only the older ones are accessible via premium — so you end up clicking on all these incidents that could be recent, only to find out that they’re old, require premium, and now you have to go back and find your spot. It takes SO much time just to figure out what I can actually see for free that I don’t want to use the app anymore. Classic case of adding stuff to improve business (increase subscriptions) but inadvertently driving people away.

New update ruined a great app - bring back the old version. The new update is terrible. It really needs to be fixed. I used to use the app all the time and even livestream on occasion. Now I almost never use it after the recent update. The UI is horrible. Not user friendly at all. You can’t zoom out of a one mile radius of wherever you are... you have to manually scroll all over the map to see what is happening in the Bay Area. It takes forever to scroll all around the entire Bay Area outside the of the 1 mile circle. No point in even doing it... I want the old app version back where you can zoom out and look at the entire Bay Area and then zoom into one section or not zoom in. I don’t want to have to scroll all around the entire map and not be able to see the rest of the map. It needs to be fixed or I might as well delete the app. I know I’m not the only person.

Way too thirsty with notifications. It’s a nice app to have for answering the question “I hear sirens, I wonder what’s going on?” and for COVID spread information. But beyond that, it’s way too alarmist and almost thirsty for your attention. Is there really anything actionable for me to do for the vast majority of the notifications? No! What am I supposed to do, don a cape, call myself Super Citizen, and go fight evildoers? It’s ridiculous. Let me turn off notifications or reduce the frequency. I do not care if there is an “unconfirmed report of woman armed with hammer 2.3 miles away”. Confirm that and then send me a notification when she’s on my block. Until then, it feels like they just want your eyeballs on the app and to profit from fear-mongering by selling you their private security service.

Citizen app used to be soooo good!! What happened???. I used to love the fact that I would get real time crime alerts for Co-Op City and other parts of the Bronx, and even listen to little snip bits of the NYPD police scanner. Now in this new app update, you have to pay $4.99 a MONTH to get the scanner feature that used to be absolutely FREE!! I understand due to inflation that there’s now a subscription for everything, but the app is almost completely useless and pointless if you don’t have the monthly subscription…you barely get any alerts like you used to… and it’s a real shame because this app was very popular, and the features were free and always working!! I also feel that the developers that make this app only focus on making the app look more appealing and modern looking instead of fixing real app bugs that users have been complaining about for months. For instance, there’s an annoying app crash where it would keep giving an error and it won’t open until you restart the app. Still not fixed🤦‍♂️ I mean I’ll give the subscription a try, maybe it’s good, who knows, but the price is not really the issue, it’s just the fact that they had to make a subscription with features that used to exist before hand…

Great idea, but frustrating app. As this app has become more robust, it’s become more frustrating. There is no way to set a geo-fence radius, which means you receive miscellaneous crime notifications from parts of the city not even remotely close to you. I probably get at least a dozen notices a day or more, and rarely does one occur in an area that I’m concerned about. Way too chatty. I don’t understand their attempt at following neighbors and inviting people. I don’t understand how that is useful and not creepy. Comments on incidents aren’t moderated, so that can get pretty junky depending on the incident. I don’t know, this app delivered the most notifications on my phone, but rarely were they necessary to me. I’m basically removing it because it’s completely annoying. It cries wolf far too often, which is sad since it could be very useful if it could be customized.

A Great Idea Plagued by Toxic Social Media Features. In an attempt to get more screentime, Citizen has decided to have a TikTok scrolling feed, "good citizen spotlights", notifications such as "____ has joined", and options to go live. Why would you even need to go live on this app? Are you encouraging people to go to crime scenes for views? Citizen is a wonderful concept: a way to be completely aware of the emergencies in your environment and ways to stay informed without social media. Only, it WANTS to be a social media app. If it didn't, it wouldn't feature the things I've mentioned above. It's even more odd that these features are being added in a new age of questioning the addictive features that apps like Instagram and Facebook use. If it really wanted to simply be a tool to be informed, it could. It's worth noting that it seems as if reports are only in populated areas. I get a lot of notifications while I'm in LA, but when I'm back home, I don't get any notifications about the things around me (especially when there's helicopters and sirens around me, Citizen has no alerts to view what's going on). I really love the idea of this app and it's unfortunate that's it taking this route of social media nonsense. I hope that if I visit this app later on that it'll be better to its users.

Coerces you into sharing precise location. Citizen is a great app to let you see what’s happening in your neighborhood, but I am always uncomfortable sharing my location data with it (or any app). I was delighted when Apple provided a way for me to use Citizen and only share my approximate location. The app however basically stops functioning if you limit location accuracy. Because of that lack of respect for my preferences, I’ve uninstalled it. Coercing me to change my preferences is not how you earn my trust, or make me feel safe. Update: After downloading again to see if things changed, I now see I’m confronted with dark patterns in the sign up flow that try to coerce you into buying their subscription product. Again, trying to trick users into mindlessly clicking the blue button is not how you build a community of trust, or create a customer base excited to support your business.

Fall from grace. When Citizen first launched, it was a game-changer for those looking to stay informed about their local communities. The app offered real-time updates on local incidents, allowing users to stay informed and stay safe. However, since the app introduced its premium service, it's been a fall from grace. The premium service promised to offer additional features, but in reality, it's done nothing but create a divide between those who can afford the service and those who can't. Not only that, but the app's focus has shifted from being a community tool to a profit-making machine, with push notifications becoming increasingly frequent and intrusive. What's worse is that the reliability of the app has declined significantly since the introduction of the premium service. It's common to receive notifications about incidents that occurred hours ago, or to receive notifications about incidents that don't even exist. It's clear that the app's creators are more interested in making money than in providing a useful tool for the community. Overall, I cannot recommend the Citizen app anymore. What was once a great resource for staying informed about local incidents has turned into a mess of unreliable notifications and a money grab by its creators. It's a shame to see a once-great app fall so far from grace.

Terrible screening of comments/too much politics. My non-racist comments were removed but someone else can say the n word with asterisks and get away with it. Also, there’s so much crime in Brownsville, NY that I can tell the app decided to block a lot of the calls from that area from making it on the app, to make it seem like it’s not that bad. Too many people being racist to blacks and I can tell the app is trying to avoid being banned again from the App Store, ESPECIALLY because people are afraid to get BLM’d following summer’s events but at the cost of helicopter-like moderation. I say don’t let people comment at all if you really want to moderate content. If you don’t want people making racist comments, don’t let ANYONE make comments. And don’t block calls from making it to the app. You could be saving someone’s life by not screening calls out.

“Always on” location setting change. I’ve been using this app for the last year and a half and have loved having a better sense of what is going on in my neighborhood and the surrounding area. But the latest update has taken things from four stars to two. I’ve had small gripes with notification but overall my app experience had been good. Then this recent update required changing location settings from “while using” to “always on” in order to continue using the app. I NEVER let any apps have always on access to my location. Wether companies claim to keep that data confidential (and actually do) or not, in the age of data breaches, lack of data use transparency, and third parties having access to user data, it’s a no go. Will no longer use the app unless this is changed.

“Reduced coverage” app know useless shows zero things happening. It’s been weeks since I have seen anything happened near me in the app, despite seeing on Facebook or the news that stuff has happened. Tons of it e would have been helpful to know. I live in a high crime area and liked knowing what was going on so I could avoid it. Now I can hear so much going on from shootings and fires and chases and non of it shows up. No reason to keep the app since it’s not useless. Just heard tons of sirens coming from somewhere close by, not sure where or what’s going on but it was load and a lot of them. Nothing has been reported in the app. My maps now tells me more that’s going on, at lest this that I can avoid road closures. Good by citizen app. Let me know when you actually start working and not just to tell me how covid cases are that’s not what concerns me in this city.

Biased Operators. Admin is biased.... When it comes to the comment section, no room for humor. No room for opinions that differ from the leftist narrative. App is great for local and surrounding emergencies and safety notifications, but alerts news updates that are clearly left and liberal. Admins are clearly pro-scamdemic and pro-vaccine. Covid information is all false, filled with incorrect stats and numbers: making it a complete scare tactic to force people to get a vaccine they don’t need. This app has potential, but it’s sad that the admins are clearly one sided with their closed minded foolish bigotry and love for censorship. If you believe in helping the community, believe in truth, freedom of speech, and upholding safety, I recommend you get this app..... so you can study it; then create an app just like it without any pro-left biases. There will be a large crowd that will join your version instead of this one.

Another leftist site. This app is pathetic and just another leftist joke. You’ll get censored and blocked for commenting or asking anything other then what they’re narrative is. Crime increases especially violent cannot be blamed on the LEFT who is solely responsible for the violent crime increase here in MPLS or blocked from all commenting so if you pay for this site then you’ll regret it and you’re much better off just staying on the free cuz it’s massively overpriced especially when they dictate what and what not you may say. This is nothing more then an extension of left wing propagandist “news” sources CNN and NPR. This hardly is a neutral platform. All news sources on here are feed for the sheep and absolutely nothing more. It’s value comes from actually showing the massive crime increase and daily shootings here in Mpls. Which are not shown on the msm or local media but your comments will be censored if you’re not one of the beta sheep.

This New Update is Horrible. I updated my app today and this new version did away with the mode where I could see news/incidents happening all over New York City (my city) and instead gave me “Citizen News,” showing me what’s going on around cities across the country. The truth is, I don’t care about other cities and it’s not why I downloaded this app. I care about what’s happening around my neighborhood and my city. It let’s me “follow” New York City, but instead of a videos page, all I get is a screen full of text telling me brief description. Citizen developers: you’d better give us the option of opting out of this national news and bringing back the NYC video screen of your incidents, or yours going to see people deleting the app. I’m now thinking about deleting the app because it doesn’t serve any purpose to me if it’s prioritizing other cities. Change it back!

Heard good things but.... Two stars: one is added for benefit of the doubt. I’ve heard good things about this app, it looks well designed. All the reports about requiring constant location services is inconvenient; I read and understand the developer’s intent, but there’s enough pushback that it seems they should design to make that a more fluent option, not just keep pushing constantly. However, I cannot imagine why they need me to have an account. I can conceive of no above-board reason for this, for the service they provide. I also read complaints that the app sent communications to everyone in a user’s contact list, which is, honestly, a crappy practice, regardless of intentions. It’s never the right thing to do. Unfortunately, when you take these together, while it’s easy to dismiss each individually as a clueless developer, when you put them all together they paint a very solid picture of data mining 101: collect all the location information to have data to sell; collect a phone number to have a solid ID field that data brokers can use to connect your data trove with other data (thus making your data valuable); spread to as many other users as possible. I’m going to look elsewhere.

Privacy Issues — do not download. This app is completely unusable if you do not agree to share your Precise Location. As in, you won’t be able to see anything until you provide it. Upon downloading, a user needs to verify a phone number and email address. The amount of personal information necessary to use the app is excessive, especially since the information provided by this app is publicly available. Further, the Premium service advertisement is misleading and almost appears as though a user can ONLY use a premium version of the app. There is a small “Skip” button to exist out of this, but it is hard to see. Like other recent users, would not recommend. This app was much better years ago when the primary focus was public safety. Now it seems to be about data collection.

Grrrr. This app changes all the time, and it drives me nuts. To start, I miss when I could define the area that I’d like notifications for—now the app has selected a radius for me. But what makes me the most furious is that when there is an incident near me and I try to open the app for an update, I have been getting the advertisement for their Citizen Protect. Yes, it offers 30 days free…but I am not paying monthly to subscribe to a service run by plus who often get the details and locations of incidents wrong. So remove the advertisement!!! If we can’t easily access free content, then no one is going to purchase what you want us to. The best way to do that is to ensure your information is accurate and valuable—and inserting additional hurdles to receiving time-sensitive info isn’t the way to go about it. Can you not add an “opt-out” feature?

Nice idea, poor execution. It was kind of interesting at first, I thought it might be useful living in an urban area with crime. Eventually it just started blowing up my phone with notifications from a nearby city I don’t even live in, and I couldn’t change it!! There are tons of glitches and issues with UI, for example, I want to see official notifications, not have to wade through a swarm of people’s dumb comments about how crime is so bad now, and it shouldn’t be hard to navigate between those. It’s a nice idea to be alerted to crime in the area around you and see it on a map, but you shouldn’t have to pay for it in my opinion, and you should be able to CHOOSE what area you get your notifications from, especially if it’s going to blow up your phone about it! I get more useful information from google maps.

The easiest way to find all the racists in your area.. This app was decent when I first downloaded it. You could see videos from all over the country posted by users within maybe the past week? Now anything outside of 24 hours and there is a subscription. You want to hear the 911 call, subscribe. You get bothered with notices about the sex offender registry, you are technically getting a reminder to subscribe to see who is next door. Sex offender registry access is free online. Why do I need to get these notifications to subscribe? What I have noticed is the comments sections are more racists commenting on non-factual info that has zero to do with the video being posted. There needs to be an option to switch comments off. I already know how terrible the people in these cities are without having to see their uninformed comments.

I love this app!. Although it’s frightening to realize the level of crime occurring around the city, I love knowing what’s happening in real time. I’ve avoided a train route where a suspect was alleged to have run. Citizens app keeps me from failing into a state of being to comfortable with my telephone on the outside. I would definitely say it keeps me aware of my surroundings. Additionally, the local news has been using videos captured on the citizens app for their news reports because a citizen with citizens app will always be there before the news van. I especially like the ability to input various neighborhoods and areas to stay informed of my parents, husband and daughters areas as well.

Useless. I was reminded of this app and just downloaded it after hearing a few helicopters in my area, I was curious to see what could be going on near me and I couldn’t even get into the app I was met with the citizens premium subscription and I couldn’t get passed it even while pressing the “start for free” button. It’s horrible that we need to pay for an app that could tell us how close danger is to us. Yes I could always turn on the news if it’s a big accident but If there was an immediate report of someone with a weapon in my area the news won’t reach it in a matter of seconds. It’s frustrating we have to pay just to help those walking alone at night. Although it’s no surprise that we would have to pay for something like this. Whoever wanted to download this app for safety I hope you find ways to defend yourselves please be safe out there!

Good app but.... The app is honestly good, didn’t know how much stuff really happens in my relatively quiet neighborhood. My only complaint with the app is the amount of people who blame minorities for the any bad thing that happens on the app seriously. The alert could say “smoke in apartment” and in the comment section all you’ll see is people blaming it on black people Obama era laws. And also how we have a mayor who “loves black people” (they really use a more derogatory term for black people) and that’s why incidents are on the rise in New York City at least. I just wish the developers would take a harder stance against racist comments as it seems people are free to just call black people the N word and other minority groups derogatory terms and blame them all for any issue that’s happening in the city with no consequences at all.

Hateful, Promotion of Violence & Racist Comments. The app is good for letting you know what is going on in your area but sometimes is delayed. But the low rating is for the complete immoderation of comments. There are always people spewing nasty slurs, threats and even praising the death of people. It’s a bit much to swallow. I usually go to the comments for a little more detail about different incidents that occurred near me but instead just see a total Wild Wild West of inappropriateness such as hateful speech, spam, promotion of violence generally and towards certain demographics, bullying and harassment. I’ve countlessly considered deleting the app as a trip to the comments is extremely draining and sometimes so hurtful that I have now just began to ignore alerts from the app. I really hope you all fix this. Especially all the ill will and violence spewed on the app about homeless people. I suggest comments be turned off.

Buyer beware. I'm a sucker, I guess. I upgraded to Premium (don't do it!) thinking it would improve the functionality of the app. The app doesn't work well on an iPad at all; slightly better on an iPhone) I live in a city, so my location is surrounded by "dots" of activity. But, if I tap on a dot (on my iPad), the screen just refreshes; doesn't tell me what the dot is or anything. The only way to figure out what is happening nearby is to zoom until the "nearby" listing at the bottom is narrow enough to just include that dot. Then you find out the dot refers to something that happened a month ago. Not useful. The app also likes to alert you to activities that aren't even in your own city. The app works slightly better on the phone; at least when you tap on a dot it highlights that event... or what happened there 3 months ago, or "something went wrong, try again". *eyeroll*

Dogs over human beings. You continuously post about missing dogs and people however there’s never a photo of the person but always a photo of the dog! I find this rather insulting as a person that actually cares about people and dogs! You have made me reevaluate my thought process and give it a value system…Never had that thought before until I dealt with this website or app! It’s partial to animals canines and the ones on the streets but you really don’t care about teenagers missing children missing elderly people missing with dementia and Alzheimer’s! If I had a chance to review on Google you guys would be really slammed! As I have 16 million Views and I am in the 5 percentile of Google reviews which kind of means there’s not too many people better than me when it comes to reviewing folks! You guys need to do better with people that’s it that’s all change it

A must have community based support tool. I moved into Hollywood and in this new neighborhood nothing beat knowing what was going on and where so I’d know what places to avoid and when. Also, you know those helicopters overhead? It pretty much will be a give away to what that’s about most of the time. Today it went a step further when I learned you can post missing pets on the app. I was able to post a cat I found a home for who escaped his new home and it wasn’t my area! The agent was extremely kind and helpful in setting up the post and including photos. Hopefully he’ll be found safely but I’m just so grateful for this app. It’s above and beyond!

Convenient. Good notification- heads up tool to have in a large city where so much can be happening and at any moment an event close enough where it could effect you. My only drawback with the is the comments section. Sometimes, in incidents close to you, you can get good info from someone who’s present or close by. But it’s not easy find because after about ten comments the times are all jumbled and out of chronological order. It can be really frustrating when there’s a potentially dangerous incident close enough to effect your well-being or just simply your travels. I’ve experienced the problem more than once. Hopefully they’ll fix the comments section asap.

Too many irrelevant notifications. As has been reported by many other users, this app now gives WAY too many notifications about incidents that are not close to me. I keep trying to get rid of them but nothing works. The only notification filters you are you able to turn on or off are COVID-19 alerts, helicopter overhead alerts, and weather alerts. I have turned off all of these and I'm still getting all kinds of notifications that are irrelevant to me. I hate the notifications about which of my contacts have joined Citizen, like I really do not care. This matters bc now I'm in the habit of just ignoring the notifications all together which defeats the purpose of this app. PLEASE DEVELOP A WAY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO FILTER NOTIFICATIONS BY LOCATION, maybe by zip codes! This is TOO much.

Profiting off crime. This app actually used to be helpful. Now you have to pay to see “Person down in street”? What does that even mean. You can dial 911 for free and probably much quicker then opening this app and connecting with a safety person or whatever they call it. They’re definitely trying to profit off of what’s happening. 911. Free. Fast. iPhones and I’m sure other brands also have ways you can track friends and family. And that’s also free. I just tell my family where I am going and they keep an eye out. And they don’t charge me. Again… 911…. No app required. There’s also police scanners that are free. Imagine your card expires and your subscription gets canceled and you don’t notice right away…. And you need to connect with someone in citizen but you can’t…. Cuz you no longer have access to the extra services. Yeah, I’m sticking to 911 and asking my family to watch out for me when I need it for $0/month.

Used to love this app. I've had this app for several years. Kept me informed as to what was going on around here. Now they want you to PAY to be able to access 80% of it🤨. Since it relies on regular people like me to keep each other informed, and no one is getting paid for that, I'm not understanding why that changed. I can understand the creater wants compensated, I get that. But when you jump from free to use to $20??? Uh no. Not in this messed up economy. Had they come up with $5 a month I likely would've jumped on board. But $20? Bite me. I still have the app but I'm actively looking for an alternative. I gave it 3 stars for that reason soley. $20 a month is just greedy. A year ago it would've been 5+ stars.

Okay. There's only so much information they have access to so I'll try not to gripe too much about lack of data or follow-up to things. The one thing I'd really like to see implemented right now is a way to list a home address/area so that I can be notified about what happens near my home while I'm away from it, other than just not opening the app and not letting it update my location unless it's open. That only works until I open one of the notifications and then it only feeds me info for that area, and I have to remember to open it when I'm back home. Tl;dr I'd like to be able to get notified about incidents in both my current and my home location.

Citizen Silent App. This app used to be awesome. However this app is no longer the most powerful safety app. I do not feel safe at home and when I go out using this app. You will receive better notifications from a neighborhood, ring, social media, or news app compared to this. I used to get updated hourly/daily when anything happened within 1.5 miles - from shootings, to crazy woman swinging a bat, car accidents..etc. now I maybe receive 1 notification a week. The area I live in is very high crime. When going for a run I like to know what I may be approaching or what’s going on near me. Don’t bother paying for it. You will not receive any special treatment. The only thing it gets you is ability to view previous notifications whereas not paying for it they will deleted after 2 weeks. Oh and nearby sex offender's but just names no addresses, you have to pay for those. There are better apps than this

Comment sections disappear recently - please fix. I’m using an iPhone 13 with iOS and app up to date. Recently with the changes, the comment sections disappear as try to read, so difficult to read or comment. Comments section also difficult to read w 0% opacity, tiny font, and less than full-screen. It’s not only young people who use this app. Please reinstate comment replies, it’s helpful to reply to specific people about urgent info, like telling them they need to contact police with their tips, and for community engagement. Also for community engagement it’d be nice to be able to direct message others, or have neighborhood groups, etc., similar to NextDoor, but centered around safety and crime vs everything

Used to be great, but this newest shady tactic was the breaking point. I live in a major US city and used to use this app when I saw or heard activity nearby so I could get more info about what was happening while staying a healthy and safe distance away. I had it set to only track my location when I opened the app since that was when I needed it. Now when I try to open the app it shows me a fake alert about “four gunman” nearby and demands I change my settings to allow it to ALWAYS track my location even when the app is closed. It literally won’t let me use the app unless I do this. Well I won’t and I am uninstalling it and you shouldn’t install it in the first place. That is shady and a horrible tactless way to try and get me to give them my personal data. Given all the active shooter situations in the US in the past couple years, the fake alert is exploitative and low. Don’t use this app, don’t give them your data.

Great but no longer free. The app is great because it’s informative and helps with keeping us safe, tracking crimes in our local areas. It sad to know you are now charged for a subscription to listen to police audio or to check back in for updates. I understand it may cost money to run the application to pay salaries to keep it running. If it weren’t for us citizens reporting and recording incidents in our local areas, there would be nothing to report on. Prior to this, we reported, uploading and sharing content on social media. I can’t complain too much cause I still love the app.

Use “Neighbors by ring” instead.. I’ve had this app for a long time now, it was absolutely wonderful right up until they wanted to charge for services. Want to look at a incident more than a few days old? Money plz. Want to set custom alerts to let you know if there’s a issue involving robbery or wrecks or violence? Pay. If you have children, do you want to see the sex offenders in your area and what they look like? Slide us a $5 and maybe we will show you. Want to see what they were charged with and the general area they live in? LOL if you want your children to be safe then better give us some money. I’m guessing no one was buying their previous membership premium option so they decided to hold the app hostage essentially. Developers you all should be ashamed. I’m deleting the app and refuse to use it until it becomes free, as in EVERYTHING in the app is free.

Messed up. This app started out great. Alert people to what’s going on around them. Heck I had a friend in nyc that only found out that his building was on fire because of this app. But then they went to the dark side. The mountains of pay walls now make the app useless. They ask you to pay to see anything. All while at the same time asking you to contribute to go outside to take pictures to do reports to contribute to the app and if you wanna actually see the event you’re reporting pay up. Just experienced this. I was walking by a major fire and I couldn’t see what the fire was because it started an hour ago. F you. I’m going to start my own citizen app and get local governments to sponsor it. You know how much money local governments spend on 3rd party proprietary, citizen, alert systems? Billions. Imagine if they all had a cheaper unified go to app. Yah burnt.

Sad to came to this. I am of slightly lower income (for my area) and live on a somewhat rougher side of town. have loved this app for years as a way to feel safe and secure in my neighborhood with a job that requires odd hours, it's been key for communicating with neighbors, and share local current events good or bad, and let you know where to stay away from. It kept a community. Now in recent months, you can't log in without being bombarded with ads for subscriptions and most of the features that made the app worthwhile like being able to view a video of a scene have been taken away with out a paid subscription. Given the hard times, lots are going through it is sad to see services like this that had such a benefit for safety become harder and harder for the communities who need it most to access.
