Pro Works Well:Clear & No Ads
I live in a town with less than 14,000 peeps. After realizing a digital scanner starts at $200 and would have to be programmed, I realized it would be better to take a chance on this $5 app. I sure am delighted with the savings. In fifteen minutes, I had easily added multiple local fire, EMS, and police favorites. As I write this in the middle of the night, I am hearing callouts for vehicle stops, an overdose, and other activity. This keeps me in the loop as to what is happening in the surrounding area and next county over. I recognize the roads and apartment buildings being identified. It will be beneficial to add other cities around the nation to keep an eye on my family for weather and other events. Even railroad lines are included. The sound quality is nice. No ads with pro. Better than the scanner for me.

Addicted Kitchen Listener
UK listener here, for the past year my go-to is Detroit PD, and having the app with no distractions or adverts is awesome. It is also very stable.
Best app I ever bought. Thank you.

Enjoy listening every evening
I love listening! It’s great! Interesting & fun. Reception is great. When I play games, I listen. I set the sleep timer for 30 minutes when I go to bed & usually I’m asleep before it shut off. No more laying & thinking for an hour or more. I love true crime shows & books, this fits right in. It’d be even better if it followed officers on their calls, hear what happens at the scene & know how it turns out. Kind of like cops, but with 911 calls & audio only. Thanks for a great app!

Worth the upgrade.
I love listening to my favorite music while driving around with the local scanner playing over my music so I stay up to date. This app possibly saved my family from injury as well. A couple months ago, we had a couple tornados touch down and this app picked up the storm teams frequency so I heard exactly where the storm was going and was able to warn my family to take cover. I hope this app stay operational forever. I’ve been using it over 5 years maybe longer. Download it and just pay for the upgrade , you will never want a refund!!

Great
Great App
I have tried other police scanner apps in the past. I have used this one for years. Now I do have a Uniden police scanner. I will still use this when I'm outside working around the house. Just a reminder these scanner feeds are provided by volunteers. So when a feed goes off line it’s not the app’s fault. It’s a provider who is having equipment issues. Also more cities are shutting down their police and fire transmissions so know one can hear them. That’s why the only way that you can hear the Chicago zones is on an extended online delay. You can thank Mayor Beetlejuice for that. And she can edit out anything she doesn’t want the public to hear

Hi my name is Jean Marc and I’m writing to you guys as the scanner for Ottawa is off line and was wondering when it will be fixed as I have family who live in Ottawa
Not worth the money
This app does not have many feeds for Edmonton..
Generally fair but needs improvement
This is the third scanner app I’ve tried, all with pretty much the same results. I use it to monitor Minneapolis Fire Department. It’s easy to use and to open. But unfortunately there are 3 shortcomings: first, the audio quality is inconsistent, ranging from loud & clear to almost unintelligible, often cutting in and out in the middle of a transmission. Second, the app often closes by itself. If I haven’t heard any radio traffic in a while, I check my phone and sure enough, the app closed. Third, even when the app is open, sometimes it seems to stop working for a few hours. I know because the Minneapolis Fire Dept. broadcasts radio checks at specific times and if I don’t receive those, I know something’s wrong. I’ve even known the app to go silent for days at a time. Verdict: fairly good when it works, but inconsistent and unreliable.

The best
I’ve used this app for years and years and I adore it. When you want to hear the scanner you want your feed fast. I can open this app and my local feed is right there and I’m listening in seconds. Last December I woke up after a night shift to a sky filled with smoke. In seconds I had the scanner on, knew that there was something called the Marshall Fire and that we were going to be evacuated. This allowed me to gather kids and pets and have some extra time before the evacuation order came. We ended up losing our house so this extra time was truly priceless.
