Should You Use the ICSolutions Mobile App to Visit? Features, Technical Requirements, Ratings, and Privacy
Trying to decide whether the ICSolutions mobile app is right for your remote visits? Focus on three things: what it actually does (video visits over WiFi or cellular), whether your device can run it, and whether you're okay with the data the app listing says it may collect.
The ICSolutions mobile app lets you visit with an incarcerated family member from your phone - no trip to the facility required. According to the app listing, you can connect from home or anywhere with WiFi or cellular data. That flexibility helps when travel, work, or childcare makes in-person visits tough. The app is free to download. That doesn't tell you what your facility charges for visits or related services, but it does mean you can install it and explore without paying upfront.
On Apple devices, the app listing says you’ll need iOS 12.4 or later on an iPhone. The same store page also lists corresponding requirements for other Apple devices (for example, iPadOS on iPads), so it’s worth checking the compatibility section on your device before you rely on it for a scheduled visit.
The App Store listing shows a 1.4 out of 5 rating based on about 1.4K reviews. Ratings don't tell the whole story, but a score that low is worth taking seriously. Test the app before any time-sensitive visit, and have a backup plan ready.
If privacy matters to you, read the app's data section carefully before signing in. The App Store listing says certain data may be collected and linked to your identity: Contact Info, User Content, Identifiers, and Usage Data. In plain terms, information you provide - or generate while using the app - may be tied back to you. The listing also mentions Diagnostics data that isn't linked to your identity. Diagnostics typically helps troubleshoot crashes or performance issues. The key distinction is how the listing separates "linked to you" categories from "not linked to you" categories.
Note: The listing says Contact Info, User Content, Identifiers, and Usage Data may be collected and linked to your identity. If you’re trying to keep your personal details as limited as possible, that’s the part to weigh carefully.
Decision Checklist
- ✓ Your device meets the requirements (on iPhone, iOS 12.4 or later; check the store listing for other Apple devices).
- ✓ Remote visiting fits your needs (the listing says you can visit from home or anywhere with WiFi or cellular data).
- ✓ You’re comfortable with the listing’s data disclosures (it says Contact Info, User Content, Identifiers, and Usage Data may be collected and linked to you; Diagnostics may be collected but not linked).
- ✓ You’ve confirmed the specific services you need are actually available through your agency (Inbound Connect availability may vary by agency).
- ✓ You want to try it without paying just to install it (the app is listed as free to download).
- ✓ You take the current App Store rating into account (1.4 out of 5 from about 1.4K ratings) and plan to test it before an important visit.
Before relying on the app for a visit, confirm that Pickaway County Jail supports ICS-based remote visiting and check which features are actually enabled. This is especially important for add-on features like Inbound Connect - availability varies by agency.
