About this app

Keep Your Child Safer Online and at Home



Sexual predators targeting children online is a scary reality. The OffenderWatch family safety app helps parents protect their children from the unthinkable. Family location sharing allows parents to track their children on a map and see if registered sex offenders live nearby. Parents can also search for registered sex offenders by name or address, see the photo and details about an offender, submit-a-tip about the offender, contact local law enforcement, and get an alert should a registered sex offender move in nearby. (Offender data is for US states only and limited to those offenders published by the state) The OffenderWatch app includes friendly advice and articles about protecting your child at home and online.



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 or phone call. Parents also receive location alerts should their child linger near a registered sex offender’s home.



A Protect Plus subscription is just $4.99 per month and covers the entire family.





How the OffenderWatch monitoring Works




1 Monitor Your Child’s Device



The OffenderWatch app monitors who calls 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.

Ratings and reviews

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.

location is extremely inaccurate; it had my phone almost 2 miles away from where I was (AT HOME) with no way to correct it. there was no instructions or steps or anything on how to use features or what certain symbols meant or anything. I guess the only way to get the "good" and therefore safe and helpful version of this app is to pay for it.

App doesn't work. It pulls up a few offenders but there's no information on them in the app, it takes you online to the registry and not even to the offender page. You might as well just go to the site online. This app is useless. Can't get the app to do much of anything, tried searching a bigger area but it doesn't do anything. I saw the bad reviews and thought I'd see if it had been fixed - a big NO. Stop commenting on reviews that the app works when it clearly doesn't.
