### 1/5 — What a con !! Do not upgrade.

*2024-06-02, version 6.2.1*

I used this app for a month or so to see how good it was, and I was impressed. I thought I would upgrade so I could store more streams, but as soon as I try to store a fifth stream the app crashes. I have paid £5.99 for an annual subscription however it does nothing more than it did before I paid. I have tried to contact the developer several times and they have not responded. My recommendation is use the free version but DO NOT upgrade, it’s a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Bug / Lifetime Purchase Issue

*2023-08-03, version 6.2.1*

I have bought a lifetime purchase of the app to be able to add an unlimited number of stations. It doesn’t work and the app seems to be caught in a circular loop, when I try to add further stations. Please can this be fixed, as money has otherwise been taken from me under false pretences. Thanks

### 3/5 — Ettore

*2023-06-27, version 6.2.1*

I have bought the lifetime version of this app, but yet when I go to settings it does not tell me that I have purchased this app. Could you please fix the problem as I have just paid you for a lifetime subscription please fix the problem. Thank you so much

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2017-10-16*

I only gave it a 4 because it doesn't have all cities, but I am not sure if that is the fault of the app or not. I listen to this all day at work to give me a heads up on what is coming to the emergency room so I can be ready!

### 2/5 — Offline

*2017-09-30*

Why are so many feeds offline? If they’re offline so much, why make them an option?

**Developer response:** I'm sorry for the inconvenience, some feeds change providers and will appear as offline. Can you please email me at beansbytes@beansbytes.com with the locations that are offline and I'll look into fixing them. Thank you.

*2016-11-26, version 5.10.1*

Thank you for using iScan. In this version, I have added the ability for you to seek by anywhere between 10 seconds to 90 seconds. This is great if you miss what someone said or want to hear the favorite part of a song again.
