I listen to police scanners so I can keep my family and friends safe!!!!!! I like your app !!!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-12-10* I live in a crazy and large Ohio city. Parma Ohio. This is a great pastime during our long winters. Go to bed listening every night…Thanks ### 4/5 — DOUBLE CHARGED *2023-11-30* Charged for the App AFTER it said that I had already purchased it and asked if I wanted to download it again for FREE So Now I have purchased the same App twice other than that it is kinda nice being able to keep up with wha5 going on in My neighborhood as well as surrounding areas ### 1/5 — Scanner or scammer *2023-01-02, version 4.3* This app works good However they get you to pay the 1.99 for uninterrupted scanning. It worked good that night. The next day it wants another 1.99. Humm When I paid the first one, it said it was one time. Guess that was false. 1.99 a day. You can keep it. ### 2/5 — Same *2022-11-04, version 4.3* It’s about the same as all the others except it interrupts every 5 seconds or so to try to get you to pay for the app. Nothing really great about it. ### 5/5 — Police scanner *2022-10-02, version 4.3* Does the $1.99 pay for the app itself or is it a monthly payment of $1.99 ### 5/5 — I am thankful *2022-09-15, version 4.3* This what I been for and am so happy ### 3/5 — Ads after purchase *2022-08-25, version 4.3* Twice I purchased this app for iPhone worked great until I closed reopened it it was say purchase again sent developers a email still haven’t received any info 😡 ### 1/5 — Police 50 scanner *2022-08-14, version 4.3* When I paid for my phone bill on a monthly basis, it worked enough to get a little info. Then I got poor and started using free cricket SIM card. I finally get the app AGAIN, and every 60 seconds there’s a AD. So then I pay 1.99$ to have AD’s removed and now all it does is buffer. Buffer, & buffer . So now I don’t get any information. Absolutely LAME. Talk about a money scam. B.S. ### 5/5 — Great scanner *2022-03-18, version 4.3* I’ve had this scanner app for years. I use it only for the railroad near me and have never had any issues. Great scanner if you pay the one time fee for life without any interruptions. ## Frequently asked questions about Police Radio ### What does the Police Radio app do?
