Offline Feeds
I used to think this was a 5 star app however the only feed I listen too has gone offline for the past few days rendering this app useless. My research has shown me that these feeds actually come from volunteers who “feed” them to this app as well as all others so downloading a different app will not solve the problem. There is no feed directly from the source itself. I think you should be transparent about that upfront. Seems I wasted my money.Show lessMizsophia
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!Show lessfat white suburbanite
Disappointed
I'm totally blind and using this app with Voiceover on a bluetooth keyboard. I've noticed there are unlabeled buttons, and although I can record, I cannot find a way to play back the recordings, or even a list of the recordings? I saw the alarm button and a few other buttons including a record button, but there are unlabeled buttons and I could not get any of them to play anything, and didn't know what they were? Very confusing. Love idea. I've made recordings I can't even play back. I hope this is fixed soon, or that you make a tab labeled playback and make that accessible. Maybe I'm missing something. Hope so and love this app. Also love the idea of being able to record and having it stop during silences. Thanks for reading this and you can email me with any questions.Show lessAzarry
Great app
Hands down this is my favorite app by far on my phone. I listen to all the emergency traffic in my local area and I’ve also listen to the civil unrest throughout the country from coast to coast. I would’ve given it a five star rating if only I could freeze one specific traffic wheel, instead of switching from fire to state police and then to local police, if I if I could freeze it on just fire or my city police without it switching from one to the other as it scans would be great. Regardless though it’s an awesome AppShow lessnosy as hell
5-0 RADIO PRO
Being a former police officer for many years & now a security guard, a great police radio scanner is an extremely important tool to have with you while on duty. I can honestly tell you that this police radio scanner app is the best in the business it’s extremely accurate and never fails to work properlyI would highly recommend this app not only for entertainment but for the safety of all that is concerned considering the way this world is going today at least you would be forewarned of a dangerous situation heading your way.Show lessPJBIRCH357
Doesn’t have my exact area yet but it’s still great
This app seems to have the same coverage other ones do, and the audio transmissions are clear. Unlike others, they aren’t greedy and don’t charge you monthly. One charge up front, no ads, fast customer service if you contact them for anything. All these scanners get their feeds from volunteer area citizens with physical scanners willing to share. So don’t blame the app if yours isn’t covered yet. It just means no one in your area has a physical scanner, or isn’t willing to share it publicly.Show lessshabbama
Too many agencies on one scanner feed
I listen to Kingman AZ. FD, but miss half the calls because of so much other traffic. This one scanner feed has FD dispatch that dispatches for 4 FD’s in the area, which is good, but It also has City PD, County Sheriffs, State PD, and a private Amb. Company and another law enforcement agency that I can’t even make out because it’s so scratchy. Why can’t it be broken up? All the other feeds I have used in the past for other area do that. PD and FD should be separated and and the private Amb shouldn’t be on public safety.
This app crashed a lot also, but with the last update, that seems to have helped greatly.
I’m sure this is a great app for the feeds I saw that just cover one agency, but this feed is annoying and frustrating.Show lessJames AZ
Great Police Scanner App
Great app as long as you can listen In your area.
Where I used to live the police changed their frequencies so I couldn’t listen to my local police anymore. I just recently moved and now I can listen again. I like hearing whats going on in my area. I Also like listening to New York City and Long Island police being I was born there. You can go online to broadcasting witch has the same channels but the app is more convenient.
You can also listen to some other countries witch is pretty cool.Show lessshyonehere
I used to love this app
I’m not sure exactly when this happened or if it’s even the app’s fault. I live in San Diego, and for some reason SD Police Dispatch feed and the SD Fire-Rescue feed have not worked for somewhere around a year. Perhaps it’s a bug that needs to be looked at, or SD does not want people listening in. The Lindbergh Field feed, Chula Vista, and other relatively nearby feeds work, the two I would like to listen to most often, don’t. I will keep checking. In case trouble shooters check this, I’m using an iPhone X.Show lessehmob
Here’s the best advice ever
Discipline yourself to stay aware of News Alerts on your phone... then when you hear there is something significantly interesting (active shooter / plane crash / terrorism , etc) then flip on your 5-0 Radio app faster than a millennial would whip out their camera app during a Trump supporter encounter.
Check your Top 100 feed, look for the highest hit count, and you’ll hear that saga unfold in real time.
If the highest hit count = Chicago PD it’s a normal day.
What’s really fun is sitting in a shopping center parking lot with your 5-0 app bluetoothed up to your car radio and sit there with sunglasses while people watching. They hear the police radio and think your undercover... hilarity ensues.
Get the paid for version to avoid the distraction and enjoy this awesome app!Show lessISS rob provost
