What's New in 5

April 30, 2026

If you're having issues with connecting to the scanner feeds while on the beta iOS, updating to the newest iOS update will fix it. Several interface improvements. Improved the reconnect algorithm to prevent echoing if the internet connection cuts out temporarily or if the internet connection is weak.

Ads

I don’t mind the ads as much as theres no way to quiet them or mute them because they drown out the broadcast. Maybe let them advertise for 3-5 seconds?

Pro???

Not Happy. I paid extra for no ads a while ago, however they decided to change it to a monthly subscription or a yearly fee, so now bombarded with ads and they don’t give you the option to close it off without having to go to the play store.
