Outreach Smartphone Monitoring, LLC

About this app

This app is meant to be used in conjunction with the Outreach Smartphone Monitoring web application. It allows monitoring parties such as police departments to monitor subjects who are under house arrest or have other location restrictions, or have blood alcohol content restrictions.

OSM features:

* "Check In" feature generates pass code and facial recognition video of offender

* "Check In" randomly programmed by monitoring party or voluntarily by offender

* "BAC" Blood Alcohol Content measuring feature uses an FDA approved, fuel cell, Bluetooth breathalyzer. (Use of the feature requires purchase of the Outreach Breathalyzer)

* All check-in videos reviewed by OSM staff

* "Calendar" sends push notifications reminding offender of court, testing, prescriptions, events, etc

* Emphasis on decreasing "failure to appear" rates

* Active GPS location monitoring, exclusion and inclusion zones

This app is part of a system that allows monitor parties to monitor more offenders with existing staff at no cost.

["Screen Sharing Functionality"]

Outreach Smartphone Monitoring uses screen sharing solely for live customer support and troubleshooting. Users of the app are often required to complete court- or agency-ordered monitoring tasks, including check-ins, breathalyzer testing, GPS verification, and other compliance activities. If a user experiences a technical issue, screen sharing allows support staff to guide them through resolving app, permission, Bluetooth, camera, or device-related problems in real time.
The feature is not active by default, does not run in the background without user knowledge, and is only initiated during an active support interaction. The user must approve the Android screen-sharing request before any screen content is shared and may stop the session at any time. OSM does not use screen sharing for surveillance, advertising, data harvesting, or continuous monitoring. Its sole purpose is to help users restore app functionality and complete required monitoring tasks.

[Accessibility Service API]

OSM uses the AccessibilityService API during screen sharing to allow you to draw lines, highlight components, or place markers directly on your screen in real time.

Why we use it:
- To draw visual lines and custom overlay markers over other apps while you share your screen.
- To detect touch coordinates so you can pinpoint specific items on your display.

Data Privacy:
We value your privacy. The AccessibilityService API is used strictly for these live-drawing features.
We do not track, collect, store, or transmit any on-screen data, personal information, or user interactions off your device.

Ratings and reviews

Trash! They need to reactivate the old version. I had no problems besides loading issues hear and there. But new one won't shut the hell up!!! So inconvenient!! Alarm notification raises to the highest volume without permission! I can not express how upsetting is dealing with this. If test not taking for whatever reason the alarm goes off every 15 minutes being obnoxious. For those wearing headphones save yourself from this app, worse decision ever!

Got the cam unit and it worked fine. Then I was one of the ones who have an android phone so it stopped sending me notifications. It's been over a week now and it finally started working today 9-12-24 at 1:30pm. Had to check the app every 40 minutes to make sure I wasn't missing any. I believe they should have looked into this or before using it in the courts. This messes with people's freedom if it's not working properly.

Majority of the time it doesn't work or acts up. Raises all media to maximum volume when the notification goes off (even on silent) which is incredibly harmful to your ears with ear buds in. Supposed to charge $60 a month but they charge random amounts 2-3 times monthly that often add up to more than $60. Forced to use this app, and was told this app was chosen because it is the cheapest one. Ridiculous waste of money for something that does nothing but frustrate you. Ankle monitor > osm ANY DAY
