More About OffenderWatch App
Unlike other apps, OffenderWatch has partnered with law enforcement to bring the most complete and correct data on registered sex offenders available. Parents subscribe to receive alerts should their child get contacted by a registered sex offender by text, phone call, or email. Parents also receive location alerts should their child linger near a registered sex offender’s home.
A Protect Plus subscription is just $9.99 per year and covers the entire family.
How the OffenderWatch monitoring Works
1 Monitor Your Child’s Device
The OffenderWatch app monitors who calls, emails, or messages your child, and tracks the location on of child’s iPhone—working silently in the background and not interfering with the phone’s use.
2 Check Against Sex Offender Data
We use the most accurate data available. It is provided directly by the law enforcement agencies who manage registered sex offenders. The app checks to see if a registered sex offender is attempting to contact your child or if your child is lingering near an offender’s address.
3 Alert Parents, Offer Assistance
Parents get alerted if a registered offender contacts your child. Ask your child about the communication and talk to them about online safety with people they don’t know in real life. If the contact seems inappropriate or troubling, it is easy to contact law enforcement from the app. Your local law enforcement may then initiate an investigation.

This app is the same as all others. No listings for level 1 offenders. It would be nice if we could see all offenders at all levels.

Great app best of its kind on the market. Only safe virtual neighborhood is partnered with law enforcement. We feel better knowing where the offenders are relative to where our kids are right now!

Too intrusive when it comes to information (ironic). I can literally pull up a criminal's location thru the state Police website. Hard pass. PS Stop sending mailers to people's homes.

Why would you pay for an app that doesn't work. It shows ZERO sex offenders in my area. I know that there are 22 in my area because i registered them. Great app. Keep wallets lined and people in the dark. Why would you charge for an app that could keep people safe? Oh ya, money comes first

I installed it to test functionality , it runs fine on my android and the interface is intuitive but support for tracking offenders in the Caribbean isn't available as of today March 28th 2021 but i plan to use it when i travel to the USA to avoid potential criminal threats.

It's ok over all for a simple search but I upgraded to be able to search by name and it continually asks for my card information when it was already charged

1 star since I haven't been able to log in since installing app and creating account. It keeps saying password is wrong and when you try to reset password the link that you are sent is broken and gives you error code.

App might be a scam. Created account and it was happy with my credentials! Tried to login with exact same credentials and got locked out after 5 tries. Why do you require a login anyway this is public information via the sex offender registry.

Does not work!!!!! Won't register my account, but when I tried to register again, it said I was already registered. Tried to log in, but it said there was an error and the little circle just kept spinning. What is the point of this app when it doesn't work? Smh..

HORRIBLE, STINKY.APP! You do NOT NEED ALL THAT PERSONAL INFORMATION you ask from us! This is a bogus site that tricks us into giving personal information the police normally can't demand from us and we are tricked into volunteering it! Shame on whoever came up with this 1984 BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU app. Then you have the NERVE, after we've VOLUNTEERED that information to suddenly. In the the last page of it all. Demand $10 from us! Why didn't you put the cost of this app in paragraph #1?

For America only. USA states only and no other countries. The devloper can send paperwork/ forms for local law enforcment to include your location but each country has different privacy laws so will wait and see.

I put in my address and no sex offenders are visible in the whole state....I find that hard to believe. App is worthless. I tried several different ways including searching near my phone, choosing an address...nothing.

Freaked me out because of how many of them were in Toronto, CA. 13 IN ONE HOUSE! This is a very disappointing metric, but I'm very thankful for the precise tracking of this app so I can keep my children safe. Bravo!

This app doesn't work. Set it up correctly and while attempting to do a search it just spins and spins. Uninstalled, reinstalled and same thing. If you can get it to work for android, I'll try again... Maybe

This app is BAD. Pumps you for an inordinate amount of info about yourself and your kids... It is wrong, for a safety app, to make you feel it is appropriate to ever just give away all this info to an unknown entity at the jump, just because they asked. I signed up then attempted to do one thing - search offenders near me. I let it sit 20 minutes and the search never completed. You can't go back, so I closed the app. Tried again, failed again. This is nonfunctional! Don't bother.

Not that helpful. It only shows 2 people around my area which is totally inaccurate

Lucky us, the only people alive with not 1 single sex offener in our town of 12,000. What are the odds? Well, not great. There are dozens that I know of according to our local sex offender list, making this app literally worthless. The only thing it actually provides is a map of our neighborhood. Wow.

Their website spins you in circles pushing you towards their "free app" and then of course when you download it they ask for your credit information so they can bill you for a service you know absolutely nothing about. Didn't list anything about a subscription from what I read on the website and I can't stand companies that rely on manipulation tactics to sell product. Usually when they do that it's because the product can't sell itself.

The app is very limited in access. Cannot customize the ring associated with my location to broaden. Was not able to select work addresses, as it appears the app defaults to home address. To view other areas of our small city, I have to leave the app and find an address in google to use it in the search function of the app. The DCI website is quirky too, but allows alot more map customization.
