About this app

The VINELink.com app allows victims and concerned citizens to access the nation’s leading offender information and victim notification network, VINE (Victim Information & Notification Everyday), conveniently from their mobile devices.

The VINE service is free and offers users the following features and benefits:
• Access the VINE online portal 24/7/365
• View offender custody status information from over 2,900 law enforcement agencies across 48 states (data availability is determined by agency)
• Register for offender custody change notifications by in-app notification, phone, email, text message (where available) or TTY device

Important Note: Android devices do not currently support push notifications or on-screen alerts. This does not interfere with registering to receive notifications via SMS, Phone, Email, In-App, or TTY. In-App notifications are accessible to Android users through the application.

Ratings and reviews

The reason for only 3 stars is the fact that the login doesn't stay. Even going away from the app for 1 minute and you're locked out. You should at the very least by choice be able to turn on saving the login as a setting, it would also be nice if you could turn biometric login. On as an option rather than having to constantly enter your username and password.

Update: this has been fixed and I'm back to using this app again. I receive 45+ voicemails PER DAY from this service. They are in work release. Everytime custody changes (go-to work/back from work) I am notified each time. I've blocked the number only to have to obscene number of voicemails at all hours of the the night. Please fix this I've tried everything. I'm not even signed up for this offender in the first place! I'm about ready to change my number.

I'm rating this at the moment 1 STAR, due to the fact that I CANNOT LOAD THE APP! I've tried multiple times, without success. 1 1/2 yrs ago, when I started using it, and did for several months thereafter, I would have rated it 4 STARS. It was easy to navigate, was helpful in the fact it made me feel safer, knew where and when my attacker was released, and you could actually use it!! NOTE TO THE DEVELOPERS, figure out what's going on, and fix please. A VICTIM'S SAFETY IS NO JOKE.
