Ratings and reviews

Still has a few kinks. The free version doesn't serve it's purpose every time. at least give us credits from watching ads or something, so we can fully utilize the app when its most important. I've gotten 2 phones stolen without any pictures taken, so far while using crook catcher on the free version. I'm assuming the $$version works as it should🤷🏾. this is an app id invest in even though I can afford to pay subscriptions, once its more full proof. non the less I'm grateful for the potential.

This app used to work perfectly on my phone. After the August 2022 update it is not working properly. After 8-10 attempts I might get one picture of an intruder (set for 2 failed attempts) and sometimes no pictures at all. Defeats the whole purpose of the app. I have noticed that many negative reviews are after the update date. I wish I never updated or had kept an apk file for the older version. Some apk files won't install or work but it's not working now anyways. I have to uninstall.

After paying for a subscription, my phone stopped functioning normally and became stuck in a continuous boot loop. The device was working perfectly before installing this app. This has been one of the worst experiences I have had with a mobile application. I lost valuable time trying to fix my phone, and I am very disappointed with the outcome. I hope the developers take this issue seriously and provide a solution for affected users.
