Citizen: Protect The World users say on Google Play
needs more people to share what's going on! do not charge users to see video and communication! bad business decision.
other than having to pay for it's a good app
It's a pretty good app. I feel that the registered sex offender part of the app should be free. Protect the vulnerable who may not be able to afford the upgrade.
newest update is HORRIBLE. it used to be GREAT! I used it constantly and told everyone to get it. a couple days ago things changed and now the app sucks. I want to be able to zoom out then scroll through the last 24 hours of updates. now I can't even get the last 24 hours for my pin. why would yall change it?
If I could give a zero I would not paying $4.99 for plus The latest update it's horrible
