I can buy a regular scanner for $50.00, and not get Ads, and most importantly, get my favorite channel without problems. At $4.99/month, it’s a rip-off. ### 2/5 — Used to work great… *2022-11-27, version 1.44* Not sure what happened… but now it won’t connect with any of my favorites. ### 2/5 — Something isn’t right *2022-05-22, version 1.44* I don’t know if there was a recent update, but now my app is really sketchy. When I try to stop streaming it turns itself right back on. When I open the app after it not being used for a while it will tell me I’ve been streaming for a long period of time (hours!) yet there’s no audio being played. It is doing some random number thing, it flashes between two different sets of very different numbers where the online time is. It gave some random dispatch numbers yesterday while streaming that it’s never done before. I don’t know what’s going on with this app but it is definitely doing some very weird things. All within the past week give or take a day or two. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2022-02-26, version 1.44* Hope you get dam thing fix soon. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2021-12-07, version 1.44* Doesn't even have anything on where i live ### 1/5 — No good for North Las Vegas *2020-10-15, version 1.44* I don’t know how this app works for other areas of the country, but in North Las Vegas all you get is a little broken up bits of conversation. Useless. ### 1/5 — No good *2020-08-10, version 1.44* Trying every which way to cancel but will not allow me to. Serious lag. ### 1/5 — Horrible garbled *2020-06-01, version 1.44* Garbled most the time and I paid $ for this app. What the heck? ### 1/5 — Why is my county in Florida not listed *2019-11-03, version 1.44* No way of checking before purchase, what a scam, save your money has to be something better in the App Store ### 1/5 — Waste of money - *2019-10-10, version 1.44* Indistinguishable from the free app. Very misleading. I should have spent my $2.99 on a coffee instead. ### 1/5 — Needs a major update *2019-10-06, version 1.44* Don’t think spending the money on the pro version is gonna help with the bugs. Feeds constantly disconnect, if you can get them to start at all. Automatic reconnect does not work. ### 1/5 — Feed won’t play 3/4 of the time *2019-09-27, version 1.44* 3/4 of the time I attempt to use this, the feed won’t start playing, or if it does it stops and then won’t come back. Also purchased the pro version to be able to listen to the feed in the background which does not appear to work. Waste of money frustrating and unreliable app. ### 1/5 — App won’t load *2019-08-16, version 1.44* It is stuck on “stopped/play and the arrow to play won’t respond ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2019-08-15, version 1.44* It just doesn’t work, got it to play some static and now it won’t play anything less than a minute later. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disrespectful CEO *2023-08-26* I wrote the CEO multiple times, explaining that the APP on my phone was not working, however the free version on my IPAD was working. Shereplied multiple times telling me her software is working fine. Finally I told her she isn’t listening to what I am saying, AND I need a refund. She writes me back, calls me curse word, and literally talks trash, says I won’t sue, etc…completely disrespectful and disgusting way to speak to a disabled veteran! ### 1/5 — Scam! Scam! Scam! *2023-06-12* They call this a PRO version but still want you to pay $15 a month to listen to archives and features are less than what you get by using a web browser. Do not pay WASTE OF $$$$ ### 1/5 — Bad! *2023-03-15* I can’t get it to give any feed you send them a message and get no reply. I deleted from my account ### 1/5 — Broadcastify is offline. *2023-01-13, version 1.44* Broadcastify is offline in Muskegon MI. And has been for quite a while. I’m not seeing any sense in keeping the app on my phone. ### 1/5 — Recent issue *2023-01-13, version 1.44* Using the iOS app on iPhone 13 suddenly it doesn’t want to play. I have to press the play button several times before it starts. Sometimes it works when I press and hold the play button. ### 1/5 — Not sure what happened… *2022-11-07, version 1.44* We have enjoyed Broadcastify for awhile now. But recently tried to use it, said I should sign in, even though never signed out. Tried the password I thought. Messaged. Received an email several times providing a link to reset. Go to link, and nothing happens. We are about ready to give up on it. Which is a shame, it WAS helpful. ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-09-01, version 1.44* Paid for app - no longer works. One channel I listen to is stuck in a continuous loop. They haven’t updated the app in 3 years. No support. ### 1/5 — Won’t Play *2022-08-09, version 1.44* Cannot get any feed to play, at all. :( ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-07-25, version 1.44* Super disappointed the Dayton Ohio Police Channel was removed ### 1/5 — Scam or honest business? *2022-05-14, version 1.44* The owner posted on a public forum acknowledging they were unable to keep providing app support for free users and advised everyone to toward the paid service. Now the paid app does the same crash and stop playing that the old free app did - are they collecting our money and running or is this going to be resolved? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I think it is good app *2022-12-25, version 1.44* But I agree with some of you am don’t agree will some of you but the best app I’ve had I long time ### 5/5 — Feed provider *2019-04-10, version 1.44* I have tried all the other apps and this one is the most stable and the tags are very well synced. The time lag doesn’t bother me. If I find out something 40 secs later who cares. The convenience out weighs the lag. ### 5/5 — VERY HAPPY ‼️ *2018-12-06, version 1.23* Have only had this app for a couple of days. Very happy with it‼️I have some other scanner apps but this one has a much greater selection of audio feeds + the audio quality is quite good! ### 5/5 — Great on iOS but Compared to Android app... *2018-01-14, version 1.23* The android app shows which town is broadcasting when they broadcast. Will the iOS app soon be showing that also? Other than that its a great app! ### 5/5 — Works!! Can't believe it! *2017-03-30, version 1.23* Wasted money on other apps. Couldn't get my area. Just found this. Listening to weather scanner!! Wunderground removed their weather radio streaming for some reason. Glad I found this! Thanks Broadcastify!!!!! ### 4/5 — TAGS TAGS TAGS PLEASE!!!!!! *2018-06-02, version 1.23* Pro version should show tags especially since you own the system. Android version has tags why can’t IOS? Being able to run (without stopping) while simultaneously using a second scanner app. And auto restart stream after interruptions. (The “other” scanner app does this). OR.... Allow multiple simultaneous streams!!!!! PAID $20 for ScannerLive (your partners). Let me worry about data and battery life. NEED TAGS FOR THAT 5TH STAR. BTW. Recording would be nice. At least a minute or two. ### 3/5 — Where did my feed go? *2022-12-16, version 1.44* I’ve had this app for awhile now and it has always worked flawlessly,A few days ago the only feed I listen to stopped playing and hasn’t worked since.It shows to be scanning but it’s silent,I left it on a few days and never heard a thing.I got out my old handheld and it’s picking up fine I just like the app for convenience. ### 3/5 — Broadcastify Pro app not working for pro features *2022-02-26, version 1.44* This used to be free. Archives is a paid subscription of Radioreference.com. If you paid for it already why is the app making you pay add’l $2.99. And when you log in it does not recognize you. And the pro features will not work. Purchased this app and it still does not recognize the log in on the phone app. Only on the laptop it will let me log in. Please fix this. ### 3/5 — If only... *2019-12-05, version 1.44* When it works, it works pretty well...until it doesn’t work. I have gotten more than 600 minutes (10 hours) of good, audible, quality listening out of it - when it works. And I’ve had it drop out/disconnect/fail within five minutes or less. That’s fairly unpredictable and quite inconsistent Then, there’s the ‘signing back on’, after the disconnect, or when I turn it back on. Almost invariably, when I hit the ‘Play’ arrow - nothing happens. Well, maybe nothing. But then, maybe, a few pregnant moments later, huzzah! It starts. But you never know. Sometimes I have to hit-and-wait a few times before something happens; sometimes, after ‘waking it up’/opening it EUREKA! It turns on all by itself. Sometimes, when I’m frustrated with it, I’ll hit the start button a half-dozen or more times in rapid succession and it might, or might not agree to open. Sometimes, particularly when I do the ‘rapid-tap’ on the Play button, it will start playing redundantly - with the equivalent of an echo, with two or three repetitions of the same information milliseconds apart. And sometimes I just give up and double-tap the Home button, then dump the app to close it completely, and start all over again. I always/never know when it’s working unless I hear information (a dispatch or traffic) on it, or don’t. If I’m REALLY paying attention, I might notice that a call drops off incomplete; most of the time, the deafening silence of nothing going on for too long causes me to check to see what the status is - and it’s usually disconnected. Oh, and it hasn’t attempted to reconnect - until I open it to check and it attempts then. And we’re back to the crapshoot of whether it’s going to connect or not. Great when it works. Totally inconsistent and frustrating as to whether it will. If it was as good as it can be, it would be GREAT. But, alas, at this point, it’s not. ### 3/5 — Broadcastify App has Problems *2019-08-07, version 1.44* I’ve been a long time user of the Broadcastify Pro IOS app but unfortunately had to switch to a more stable scanner app. First, the Broadcastify Pro IOS app was a great and stable scanner app, but now after the latest update, the app gets out of sync. I hear two voices like an echo. The app keeps on playing even when I tap stop. The app gets out of sync with the listening time counter. I have to reboot my iPhone to make the app stop playing. By the time my iPhone reboots the transmition is over. So, I have switched to a different scanner app instead. Broadcastify is still installed on my iPhone but I do not use the Broadcastify app any more. The app is quirky and needs a major overhaul. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
