This app is not giving me the boot every 5 minutes like most of the others and it puts the favorites tab in a convenient place at the bottom of the screen so there's less clicking if I'm driving. I also love how on stereo channels. it has a left right slider bar so I can quickly mute one conversation to listen to another.

Yeah it does the most of it works. But when I'm trying to enter different counties throughout the United States of their frequencies of various entities the counties won't come in for some reason I cannot enter the counties various entities radio communications frequencies when I try to scroll down the county list is literally the screen just drops off the the page drops off the screen and I have to re-enter it and it still won't come in I'm hoping that the police will be straightened out

This is a great way to stay instantly informed about your world. It has notification settings and they are great options for both near and far information. I would recommend that you give this app a try and see if you like it as much as I do. Just because we don't have actual scanners, it doesn't mean you can't try to stay up to the minute with information that will help you as you go about your day. Such as fires and local traffic problems.

I fully paid for the Pro version in 2018 and paid $2.99 for a lifetime. Everything is up and running on the pro version of the app without no issues. I can hear Pittsfield police's and fire response times and any emergencies that happen in my city.

it kinda sucks that it's not live and runs approx 15 min later but I understand y but for the most part if it had more activity on it it would be a 5 star app but it's just quiet alot when tpd is always getting calls we nosey people with no lives would like to know more about what's going on in are city without actually having to go outside and take the risk of being in the wrong place at the wrong time situation . but yes I give this app a five stars

Great scanner app. Load it up during big events or when you hear lots of sirens and want to see whats going on or just because... Always interesting to listen to. Covers just about everywhere in the country and beyond. A++

This is an AWESOME APP!!! Recently there has been more adds added and an especially annoying add a credit app (maybe Upgrade?) that is almost impossible to close out of and at the least a hassle if you have the app from said advertiser because even when pressing the x in the top corner your redirected to the app from the advertisement. Please fix this!!! I recommend this app to EVERYONE that asks which scanner app I use or anyone that may be interested in listening.

Nice, whoever is streaming our local feed has a really good set up. Clear transmission audio. The county I reside in has the new fully encrypted digital system though. So, I understand why it's not listed. But there are many other sources, as the Skywarn networks are very useful. App is working just fine with all sources I checked out.

Music Playlist get old and redundant. Local safety services action never does! Perfect traffic advisor, with a little practice at learning what to listen for!
