Used to be great…

I live in a pretty rural area, so there isn’t a ton to listen to, so I generally only pick this up when I hear sirens in my area. Because of that it is not worth a subscription to me. And with this last update, the inundation of lengthy, annoying advertisements in order to push your new subscription service is completely obnoxious. I will just delete the program. I don’t need to know that badly. I don’t mind paying for an app or a service if it’s worth it, but I’m not giving you three bucks a month to listen to two channels once in a blue moon. I don’t need to talk to the other 86 listeners in my area thanks.
Update : so I forgot to delete, heard a bunch of sirens, picked up the app. Nothing on the radio channel, and it took me 2 minutes of advertising to figure that out and that there isn’t another channel in my area to hear it.
I don’t mind an ad or two, but it’s horrible unless you have one channel you can log into and just stay on that. If you switch, swap, or close the app, be prepared to start over, and watch King Robert die again while some influencer I’ve never heard of tells us how awesome that stupid game is 500 times. Nope.

Lost all but fire for scanner. Very disappointed

Used to be able to listen here in Ontario Canada but your app must have been zapped it doesn’t work at all anymore.

Useless app

Wanted a 3 day trial but charged immediately. We decided to give it a try anyways. Our station worked for approximately 8 days and now silence. Says last scan was from 12 hours ago when clearly we hear sirens and know we are missing calls. Very disappointed especially when we didn’t get a free trial.

Perfect app and underrated!

This app is great, does not let you down except for the ads, but other than that this app is absolutely amazing and fantastic!

So many ads!

I love the scanner app because I can choose the local stations and it’s very convenient. I especially like that you can tell which department is using the radios. I really can’t stand the ads! I know the point is to convince you to purchase the app but at the same time having advertisements that play on top of the scanner makes no sense and I don’t know about other people, but I often listen to the scanner while I’m driving. the downfall is that when the start and the go over, you can’t make it stop unless you start touching your phone which causes a safety issue. Just my personal opinion, but if they had the ads at least had at least muted them at least it wouldn’t eat or fear with the purpose of the app
