A new app unveiled last week by the North Carolina Department of Justice that allows users to search for registered sex offenders has been downloaded more 18,000 times, according to department officials.
Users can search for registered NC sex offenders by GPS location or street address and is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
"Parents and citizens have responded by adding this important tool to their overall safety plan," said Attorney General Roy Cooper. "We've received useful feedback and will continue to work to make sure more North Carolina families have access to this critical information."
The app was also nationally ranked as one of the top ten educational apps on iTunes.
The Department of Justice says it's working to develop an app that will work on other platforms such as Android.
