I would expect this except for the fact I am paying a subscription fee. And for what? I do love the ap when it is on. Would be a five star review otherwise **Developer response:** Hello, we haven't seen this issue in any of our testing. Please use the "email developer" option in the app to send us anonymous log information so that we can help you troubleshoot. ### 4/5 — Can’t get all of the scanners *2026-04-19* The app will only let me do 4 scanners. Normal i can do 5. Every time i try to add a scanner it says it is full when it’s not. Please fix this **Developer response:** Hello, please be sure to update to the latest version of Action Scanner where we've fixed this issue. ### 4/5 — I really like this app! *2026-04-17* The most recent update adds some nice polish and a feature I like and that’s the map location pins that light up. ### 3/5 — Scanner app *2026-04-01* Used to be free and then started charging!?!? ### 2/5 — New update *2025-12-13* If you paid first when it came out now, you gotta pay again 👎😘 **Developer response:** Hello, it looks like you're on an older version of ActionScanner. Please update to the latest version where we've addressed the stability issues. ### 3/5 — Nice but pricy *2025-09-22* I purchased this app several years ago, and listened a lot. Now there is a monthly or yearly fee. Had to delete my old one because it didn’t work anymore. The price to listen to something that comes over the air for free is ridiculous. ### 3/5 — No Paues or Hold on channel *2025-09-20* I have been using many versions of this app. Thank goodness the app has evolved over the years. In past versions I could pause on specific channels if necessary, however this ability no longer exists. **Developer response:** Hello, You can tap on any of our feeds in the scan list to open it full-page and hold that one feed. ### 3/5 — Update bad *2025-02-01* Could be a good program needs to be updated pretty bad. Not steady enough reliable **Developer response:** Hello, it looks like you're on an older version of ActionScanner. Please update to the latest version where we've addressed the stability issues. ### 5/5 — Scanner *2024-11-29* Not gonna keep a subscription if the channels in Lancaster County,Pa keep going offline all the time, I was listening to this but now I can’t since the providers can’t keep the channels online, will not renew **Developer response:** Hi Jbird186, Thank you for the heads-up. While we can't directly influence individual feeds ourselves, this problem has been resolved by the feed provider. ### 4/5 — Paid for original application *2024-11-25* I paid for the original application years ago. I was not aware of the release of an entirely new application, which now offers a yearly subscription in comparison to the radio reference counterpart. Why would you not offer a grandfathered plan for previously paid users? ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-08-08* I have two sons on different fire departments. I use this app to know when they are sent on calls. ### 2/5 — Lancaster County Fire & EMS-Charlie *2024-05-23* Need to work on this channel, it’s on all the time with noise then when someone talks the noise goes away then its back on when no one is talking **Developer response:** Hi Jbird186, Thank you for the heads-up. While we can't directly influence individual feeds ourselves, this problem has been resolved by the feed provider. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scanner *2026-05-31* Horrible, keeps going off, not user friendly, frustrating ### 1/5 — What happened to this app? *2026-04-30* What is happened to this app? Half of the things that I used to scan aren’t even on the list anymore for instance the entire fire department of FDNY with the exception of Manhattan isn’t even on the list. Did you guys change streaming providers? The volume controls don’t work for the individual streams that you select and there seems to be just a lot of issues that have been taken out of this app. For $40 a year subscription I don’t think I’m going to be renewing my subscription this app has gone down 100% or more since the latest upgrades. So please convince me why I should continue to subscribe to this app that gives you absolutely nothing **Developer response:** Hello, We're sorry to hear that you're having a bad experience with Action Scanner. As we discussed in our email conversation, we have not changed stream providers or made any other reductions in service. Streams are provided by volunteers and can't be guaranteed. ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2025-09-12* Used to be good . I paid for the full version years ago. It was a one time payment . Suddenly it tells me I have to pay a monthly fee if I want to use it for more than a few minutes . ### 1/5 — Kentucky Crashes App *2025-05-07* Not sure why but I’m also having the issue that when I select Kentucky the app crashes. **Developer response:** Sorry for the trouble with Kentucky. We found an issue in the feed data, all fixed in the latest release. ### 1/5 — POOR SERVICE *2025-04-23, version 3.1.0* This app loses all data every few days. DON’T SUBSCRIBE!! ### 1/5 — Not happy. *2025-01-14* Paid for original app, now its a monthly subscription ### 1/5 — Greedy, greedy, greedy! *2024-12-04* I paid for this app many years ago and now it is a subscription. No grandfathered in just a 5-minute preview or $4.99/mo. I hope enough people tell you to shove it like I am and you lose more money than you previously made. ### 1/5 — Action Scanner Pro *2024-10-19* I had the Action Scanner App and Upgraded to Action Scanner Pro. Why can’t I use it any more? It won’t load any feeds. Now this version is out and I can only listen for five minutes unless I subscribe??? I already paid to upgrade before. I love the app but what is the deal? I only gave one star because I don’t feel it is fair to pay for an app then just to get more money you only get fiver minutes unless you subscribe. ### 1/5 — Dev trying to go back on original app *2024-05-09* Had the original pro app version and paid for it. Now the developer wants to go back and charge a fee continuously. I paid for the app and now it’s worthless. I wouldt support or suggest you download this app. To me it’s a switch and bait ### 1/5 — Does not connect *2024-05-08, version 3.02* This app doesn’t do anything. You go to anything on this app and it’s blank!! Will not connect no matter what I do. I wasted money on this thing. Do not get this app!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fee *2026-04-18* Wish you had a flat one time fee ### 5/5 — Cops *2025-11-10* I can hear my dad on the radio because he is a cop. ### 5/5 — Love the scanning, smooth *2025-11-10* Great tool for emergency restoration company! ### 5/5 — Hands Down, The Best Scanner App Available *2025-10-21* Action Scanner Police Radio is the absolute best scanner app you can buy online. It can be configured for multiple banks with multiple channels per bank and it’s very easy to use. It also works well on my older iOS device. Customer support is also really attentive and will help with any questions you have. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-08-16* You can scan more than 1 channel and multiple banks awesome. one of the best scanners trust me ### 5/5 — Well Worth It! *2025-08-08* Fantastic app. Developer is very responsive to bug fixes & feature suggestions. Being able to listen to multiple scanner feeds at once is a game changer, and this app executes it beautifully. ### 5/5 — Unable to add Kentucky to scanner list *2025-05-09* When I go to add Kentucky to the scanner list, it will not generate the city to add to list…. Im a paid subscriber this to to be fixed….. **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience, we've fixed this bug with the latest release. ### 5/5 — Great scanner *2025-03-23* The only one that has multiple scanners rotating at once ### 5/5 — Look No Further! *2025-03-01* If you’re a stringer or someone who enjoys monitoring live communications, this is the app to get! It offers four banks with the ability to monitor up to six different channels simultaneously. Want to listen to your local area, FDNY, and Cal Fire at the same time? You can! Top-notch performance, just be sure to avoid counterfeit versions. This is the ORIGINAL app! ### 5/5 — Crashing when trying to select stars *2025-02-24* Overall this is a fantastic app and I enjoy using it. However the latest update seems to have introduced a bug. When I go to add a new feed and select US and then try to select Kentucky the app crashes. I don’t know if this happens on other states. This is the first state I’ve experienced the issue with and I have used feeds from multiple states across all of the banks. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We've fixed the Kentucky issue in the latest release. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
