Ratings and reviews

I like it. Especially where you can add a picture or video that can be used as "proof" when submitting a tip-off. Another suggestion that might be useful is if you can categorise the "people of interested" sections in areas where they were last seen, etc. example "Province, city, suburb". Currently it is all random from all over South Africa and no option for this in the search section

Expected more from the app. It's a great start. Report accident, affidavit, get ir numbers etc. Basically, the less I need to go in to the station, the better. If I do need to go in, get everything done on the app, so I only do the essentials at the station where it's all on the system already and available to the officers on duty. Stops dockets disappearing.

App is really slow, constantly searches for location. App asks for registration which is silly as it's supposed to be anonymous. If reporting a crime, you have to fill in a complete Bio of the Perpetrator; hair color, eyes, height, weight, etc. Utter nonsense
