What used to be a somewhat useful tool for monitoring the happenings in your neighborhood has become a downloadable ad for their premium service. The default notifications, which cannot be configured, invite you to access things locked behind a paywall, and your "local feed" updates inconsistently, if at all. Also, most of the people commenting on the app are unhinged lunatics, but that's not really the app's fault, and more a reflection of where I live, heh.

This app is so NEEDY and over-designed it's crazy. I wanted to check a helicopter overhead and got several banners to enable notifications, a highlighted past incident that requires Plus to view, a warning about 57 offenders in my area (also needs Plus), and prompts to add home, work, or school address. Half of the map is covered by a window for crime reports (another Plus feature) that can't be minimized. Every aspect of its design is meant to invoke fear so you subscribe to Plus. No thanks.

Installed to see what's happening right now in my neighborhood. It asked for my location, I said "just for now" since it's a one time use. Then it kicked it back twice trying to allow me to share my precise location at all times. Then after several pages of junk it asked me to pay $20. No. Just no. $20 after running me through the hoops of a junk UI?!
