Almost perfect!

This app is almost perfect! The only thing I wish you could do is listen to non-named talk groups. In my local area several talk groups appear only as numbers and cannot be listened to individual.

App not responsible for local malfunctions

This app isnt responsible for your towns local system having transmission issues or not working at all . You need to speak with the person who has the system setup in your town and maybe donate some money to for their time because they more then likely do it for free.

Bug or glitch

I love this app I use it almost everyday because 1. I’m nosey LOL and 2. Where my grandma lives is in a ghetto neighborhood so I like to keep track of things. However today the apps not working it’s suck on 3Am nothing past it. It’s almost 2Pm where I’m at currently there’s no way calls have not been made in since 3AM. Please fix this I would hate to have to find the next best thing.

Good app

Great app. An auto refresh would be fantastic!

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?

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.

Great app I'm sure they adding more departments and cities I use it on my iPhone 13 and it's plays a couple of transmissions/conversations out of nowhere it pauses 2-6 seconds into a transmission app freezes only choice is to force close and open it sometimes after that it reopen let you choice what department freezes again

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?
