As a Chicago resident so do I. Just listen for the screams and shot reverberation off the nearby buildings. It doesn't take much practice to hone it down within 50yards or so. Don't need no app.
I've been to Chicago once (visiting a family member), it's absolutely crazy. I could never even imagine living like that. Never before in my life have I been genuinely scared that if I left the house at night, I wouldn't come back alive.
What is it like in Chicago? It’s really THAT bad?
(I’m an European)
Statistically no, it's not very dangerous as far as big cities go. Its homicide rate is ranked 30-something in the USA. Pretty much every city has "bad areas", though.
