I thought it would be receiving scanner info from somewhere else (hence paid version) but no. ### 1/5 — Need a refund *2020-04-12, version 2.6* Doesn’t support the location I’m needing so won’t be using the app ### 1/5 — No happy *2020-03-04, version 2.6* It doesn’t work for my area only the bigger cities wish I would of known ### 3/5 — Battle Creek 911 scanner *2020-01-30, version 2.6* I really enjoy listening to the scanner, however not sure why I hear tones for other counties. For instance grand haven for example and there are others. It interferes with things in Battle Creek. And then I hear a computer generated dispatcher...for other counties as well! Weird! ### 1/5 — garbage *2020-01-01, version 2.6* garbage always unable to connect ### 1/5 — Mm *2019-11-11, version 2.6* Just because they don’t have Selma ca on there ### 1/5 — Always off line *2019-10-03, version 2.6* Unhappy especially since I paid for this 5 O radio works better always online ### 1/5 — Listed station not available *2019-06-22, version 2.6* I spent $ on this app because it said to check radioreference.com for supported stations. The station I’m needing is listed there so I spent $ and then find out that it’s not available on this app!!! Waste of money!!! ### 4/5 — Great app for police & Fire & some EMS *2018-09-30, version 2.6* This is a fantastic app for those who want to listen when a real scanner isn’t nearby. I did not give it 5 stars for two reasons. 1) the different feeds overlap so it is not possible to get a “full” transmission at times. Chatter overlaps. 2) an addition of MERCI stations for ambulance to hospital traffic would be a plus. No identifying info is usually given since everyone knows the air is public so privacy should not be a concern. You can get that traffic on registration scanners. Look forward to future improvements! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-04-15, version 2.5* When I click on locations, nothing comes up, when I click on top 100 nothing comes up.... used to work great, now it does nothing. I even deleted and reinstalled ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-04-05, version 2.5* Can’t connect to anything in past few weeks, says channel is offline. It has been working nicely until then. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fraud *2026-07-22, version 3.6* It doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-06-01, version 3.5* Bought as part of bundle. Does not open. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-05-12, version 3.4* Currently not working ### 1/5 — GARBAGE *2025-03-23, version 3.4* Your lucky I can’t give you a zero star rating this app is a joke I listen to my county fire end and police dispatch and I have to listen to another state and another county more than mine fix your app or get rid of it ### 1/5 — Locations listed in radioreference.com are NOT supported. *2024-08-06, version 3.4* App advertising promises support for a list of locations that it DOES NOT actually have access to. Refund? ### 1/5 — WARNING: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! *2024-02-09, version 3.0* I couldn't even look at anything without purchasing it first. Way to go dude that created this. Great way to make money and screw people over. This app is uninformative of its channels, knows my location now and who knows what else trying to find my city in it was impossible. You pretty much just get the County and that's it. I'm going to try to get a refund. Oh wait, it says I can't get a refund. What a surprise! I hope I remember your name because I will never even look at any apps that you make. This app is terrible folks. ### 1/5 — Super laggy *2023-12-19, version 3.0* Old and super laggy app. I prefer the 5-0 Police Scanner that is regularly updated and simply works. Wish I’d saved my money and skipped this app. ### 1/5 — Stop my subscription *2021-11-18, version 3.0* Stop myPrescription to you 911 scanner ### 1/5 — Flags? *2021-08-19, version 3.0* The flags ? Other countries? ### 1/5 — Not very happy *2020-05-25, version 2.6* At first my location I chose worked just fine and then every time I go to use it it says my location dose not work. Not happy especially having to pay for this app my free one works way better ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Enjoy it *2022-06-02, version 3.0* As a former LEO and 1st Responder and on disability it’s great to listen too as well as take it wherever I go and or travel! I was they get an app that actually lets you down load a scanner that helps you listen to all channels but for now this is great ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-02-18, version 2.6* Great police scanner app ### 5/5 — Couldn’t hear anything *2019-11-03, version 2.6* They’re not even on the channel to hear anything. Very disappointed. $3.00 gone for nothing. ### 5/5 — Very scanner app *2019-04-22, version 2.6* Very easy to use with whatever jurisdiction you want to scan. ### 5/5 — Favorite *2019-03-02, version 2.6* Have loved it for a very long time. Between Portland, Oregon and Times Square, I am a happy 88 year old, old lady. It’s a great way to spend several or more hours a day n an assisted living residence. ### 5/5 — 911 *2018-08-27, version 2.6* Interesting!! ### 5/5 — Concerned listener *2018-08-20, version 2.6* Why are these channels always currently off line? Same channels using 5-0 radio are always on line. ### 5/5 — Scanner *2017-02-15, version 2.5* As stated, Non- political. What it claims, it does ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-07-02, version 2.0* The description actually describes the app. Most apps don't describe the app of what it is.👍🏻 ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2015-04-01, version 2.0* This is the coolest app I have on my phone. I have it on 24/7!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
