But this has been one of my favorite apps for years. Live action ambient music. Genius! ### 4/5 — It’s back and it’s awesome. *2021-04-11, version 3.0.9* Had some scanner issues before but now it’s fixed. Such a simple idea and well executed. Love it! ### 5/5 — Hypnotic ambient *2017-09-18, version 3.0.5* I like the imageries and the hypnotic ambient sounds. Calming music mixed w radio calls in the background. I've been listening to this app when I study. Find it very helpful for me to relax or to focus. ### 3/5 — Great app & concept !

Love it! ### 5/5 — Best ambient police radio out there. *2015-12-24, version 3.0.1* I use this daily. I like the added cities, as I'm closer to SF rather than LA. It's a classy looking app, functional, and does exactly what you expect. ### 5/5 — Weirdly fantastic *2015-07-15, version 2.0.1* Great app and provides such a relaxing listening experience. For those of you wanting a sleep timer my wife showed me a neat trick. If you start a timer in the timer app and go in to the list of sounds, at the very bottom of the list is "Stop playing" which will stop all sounds on your phone. Give that a shot! ## Frequently asked questions about La Vue ### What does La Vue do? La Vue combines live police radio broadcasts with streamed ambient music channels from various US cities.
