Ratings and Reviews
Same channels like other scanners but most user friendly!
In my experience all the scanner apps have all the same channels only differing in the format! This channel is no different in that respect yet I like this scanner app the most because of the user friendly format! While It’s definitely entertaining to listen to alameda & broward county sheriff stations, The reason I bought this app was to listen to what’s going on locally in my area this app was the priciest so I payed the 5$ wishing I could listen to a local police radio alas same stations as the 3 free apps without ads disrupting the radio and a cool map feature making the 5$ price more than fair! If they charged 25$ for an updated version with small town and suburban stations it would make this app stand out more and offer angsty teens and million dollar trust fund babies the opportunity to hear Marin @ snohomish county calls about latte & dog pee on lawn emergencies!
Scanner App
I’ve used a few apps for police/EMS scanners and this one is my favorite. I paid for the pro version which was worth the price to upgrade since I listen to the scanner activity for my city through an AirPod as white noise a lot. I listen while cleaning, working, and even fall asleep at night listening to it. I like that it doesn’t seem to drain my battery even while running almost constantly most days. It didn’t seem like there would be many added features with paying for the pro version but the enhancements it does have are worth the price. I like that it automatically connects to the last feed I was listen to and that I have the ability to customize the wallpaper. I also appreciate that it automatically reconnects if the feed is interrupted for some reason. Obviously the lack of ads interrupting the stream is the biggest improvement. Overall the interface is simple and easy to navigate and the one time I had a question, support was quick to respond with a solution. I recommend this app to people all the time and actually just learned recently that there must not be a version in the Google operating system which was surprising since this is such a popular app on iOS. Thanks for providing a great app.
Delayed and seems to crash a lot lately
I’ve used this app for years and liked it but lately it’s been having problems with crashing. I’ll open it and it immediately crashes. Sometimes after 5 or 6 tries it will stay on. They don’t seem to do updates often so it takes a while to get fixed when this happens. Also be aware that the stuff you hear is delayed. When you hear the dispatchers say the time on the air it’s always 3-4 minutes behind what the time actually is. I’ve heard sirens going by so I open the app and it’s a good few minutes before I hear what’s going on, on this scanner app. Another thing is they decide what to broadcast when you’re listening to a channel that includes a couple different cities. Just like now, I was listening to them search for a way to get access to a brush fire for a good 30 minutes. Why? I know there’s other stuff going on so why are they choosing to only put this out. I stick with this app because I like the recording feature and I did pay for pro years ago but there is more and more competition on the App Store that’s becoming tempting. If something major changes, I’ll update my review.
