### 5/5 — Gotta have for Frederick County

*2024-01-09*

Great deal for $.99!  No stupid ads; cameras, incident tracking (fire calls), 10 codes all included.

### 1/5 — No audio!!

*2023-10-03*

I have loved the older version of this app and enjoyed it for years until very recently it began to sporadically stop working. So, I was super excited to see the latest update. I did get a black screen, at first, so I reinstalled and now I can see the new graphics.. But, no matter what I try, I have no audio. I know there’s transmission going on through another scanner app. I also miss the source of the call but that may be the same problem as the audio.  Really disappointing.

**Developer response:** Please be sure your ios is up to date. You can always contact us for help.

### 5/5 — Version 5.0 is awesome!

*2023-10-02*

This update is major overhaul, rebuilt from the ground up. The interface is much cleaner and more intuitive. Audio is much improved: clearer and less “clipping”. Also love the addition of the text showing the Latest Fire/Rescue incident which updates whenever there is a new incident. This helps in the event a listener misses the audio dispatch. Well done.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-10-02*

I use Frederick Scanner every day and it’s very interesting and useful but I noticed suddenly the app was just showing a black screen but I figured out I just had to reinstall it.

### 5/5 — Love it.

*2023-10-02*

Great app. I got a black screen when I updated from the old app. But I just deleted the app and reinstalled it. Works like a champ now. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2023-05-03*

As of a few days ago, the app stopped working on my wife’s phone. It is an iPhone 7 with the latest iOS. It just shows a splash screen for about two seconds and then disappears. It worked fine up until the new version. Still works on my iPhone SE.

**Developer response:** This happened because iPhone 7 does not support iOS 16. Features in the updated app rely on current versions of iOS.

### 2/5 — No longer works.

*2023-04-30*

Not sure what’s going on but every time I open the app it closes immediately. It used to work fine. Tried restarting phone, but same thing. Hope there’s a fix for this. I guess I will have to contact developer on this.

**Developer response:** Please be sure the device has the latest iOS installed.

### 3/5 — Poorly designed and not worth the $$

*2023-01-26*

Purchase this app a while back and recently re-download it just to realize why I deleted it in the first place. It is so poorly designed that it took me 10 minutes just to figure out how to switch stations. The poorly designed graphics are the best thing about it, and that’s about it… not worth it, even if it was free.

### 2/5 — Stopped working properly

*2020-10-07*

It had been working fine,  now I try to see the tweets and it only pops up archives. I have to use a different app.

### 1/5 — This is useful

*2020-06-05*

I can heard anything, is no videos what’s the point of pay for this ? So useful.

**Developer response:** It’s an “audio” app, what video are you expecting to see? And when listening, police aren’t always speaking. You need to leave it running and listen for a while.
