My favorite app but

I really wish there was a way to save talk group preferences as a favorites list. I’d even pay for a pro version of the app if it was available!

Good..could be better

Overall, very good app. Lots of choices if scanner sorted by area. My one recommendation would be, is add a search feature to the talk groups. Its very difficult to exclude channels you dont want.

Too many duplicate channels

Scanner shows way too many duplicate channels sand cannot find one channel in my area. Useless app!

Limited areas

Not a single New Mexico station

Not working

It’s not refreshing for today it’s stuck on 12 pm for Sacramento

Archive Problem

Hi, every time I enable the archive feature, select a date and what not and then when I unselect it, it doesn’t change. When you see like the vertical list of the radio logs, it’s still at the archive date and I always have to uninstall the app and reinstall it for it to fix itself. Everything else is perfect though.

App Not Working

Up until last week, 2026-03-02 the app was working fine; however; it’s now been 11 days of no service! When will the issue be fixed?

OpenMhz

Still working.

Excellent app, easy to use as well!

I absolutely love how being able to get down to listen to direct channels only.

Steadily failing

I’ve been using this app for a few months now to listen to Charlotte (NC) Fire. In the past few weeks it has steadily lost ops channels. My husband is a dispatcher so I know when there’s a call on a certain channel and it’s not coming through. Lost Echo first, and now Hotel is gone, and all feeds have gotten very spotty and break up terribly. Sad, cause I really loved this app but it’s not much good to me anymore.

Best Scanner App

Best scanner app with archives no cost!!!

Scanner in my area

Hey developer… this app is great I enjoy listening to the call that go on in the world quick question for you. Could you please add meridian Mississippi frequencies. Thanks so much.

The best

Simply the best police scanner app out there

Great App

Great app. I love how it operates! I listen to the Sacramento area but its squelches a lot. So most of the time I cannot hear any words only the squelching. Could this be fixed?

Charlotte is not working?

Charlotte NC is not updating

When it works it’s the best

When it works it is the best app. But lately all I get most of the time is the loading spinner.

Used to be great

This app used to be fairly reliable and consistent but the past few months it’s been consistently useless. Logs never show up the screen is just blank refreshing the page does nothing or breaks the app completely.

Great app!

I’ve used this for 15 mins and I’m in love! Awesome free app. Kudos to the developer!

My only wish is the audio would play in the background. But still gets 5 stars

Technical issues

I’ve had this scanner for a while and it’s been great but now it’s having feedback issues to where you can’t hear the call. I love that you can specifically save it for your area. Hopefully whoever made the apps can adjust whatever they need to so there is no more feedback/static. I would have given 5 stars but the app is unusable at the moment.
