It just takes so long to load. I have accessed Ripper’s, Epstein’s, and the DELPHI Murder crime doors, but others take so long. I haven't been able to get in. Other than that, this is a brilliant way in which to get individuals immersed in unsolved crimes. I hope it generates solid leads and, ultimately, arrests/convictions. There is a wealth of information (podcasts, news articles, documentaries, etc.), brought together in one place for each case. My only complaint is that I cannot efficiently access the crime doors. Perhaps, instead of a circular-loading symbol (whatever it's technically called), it could be a bar, so as to indicate exactly how far into the loading process we are. But keep the color blue...😁

The vast amount of content within this app is so well managed and curated, with access to all the media coverage and imagery of the period in which the crime took place. They’ve collated all the historical news and TV show content that covered each of these crime stories. There are numerous podcasts that detail the events and continue to discuss these crimes to this very day. There’s no links sending you off to another media app ...it’s all in this single app. Try walking around the actual crime scene within one of the augmented reality Door experiences while listening to the podcast describing the events that led up to this moment. Deeply immersive. A whole different perspective on headline crimes I thought I fully understood when I read about them at the time they occurred. Highly recommend the unlimited monthly subscription. It’s a good value, as you get access to all the new augmented reality Doors as they come out, AND you can continue to access the entire library of AR Doors. In terms of content, this thing is massive.

The app has a lot of good information on it from both past and current cases. At the time of typing this is October 20, 2021 which is about a week after the Gabby Petito live autopsy reveal was announced. I heard it from this app first and went straight to it. There aren’t many free AR doors, but one they do have that’s free is the JonBenet Ramsey case, which is one of my favorite cases. They have links and videos and articles below their information. My favorite feature of the app is “This Day in Crime.” It will show a crime that happened on that day in time, and I like to look at those crimes and put small remembrance notes for the victims on school locker. All around, amazing app with great info and definitely the best true crime news app I’ve downloaded.
