App of the Week "The 33"
"No one needs to tell you whether you live in a good or bad neighborhood. But what about that hotel you're planning to book, is it in the right part of town? And is the neighborhood your family member is going to college safe? Mobile application iCrimeAware has answers.
The app gives statistics about murder, rape, thefts, burglaries, arson, auto theft and total crime specific to your current location. It also has an interactive map that shows surrounding neighborhoods and their crime statistics. The data is official and includes information from 2006-2010. iCrimeAware also has an alarm button and email system in case of emergency. It's 99 cents in the app store."
