What happened? *2026-01-30* Not sure what happened but this app is basically useless now. Local tab not showing local feeds. Endless list of counties when I select my state (can literally scroll forever), and they aren’t even in alphabetical order. When I find the county I’m looking for and select it, no feeds pop up. Actually useless. App used to be great! ### 4/5 — Confusing *2024-12-22* It has my attention but I don’t know how to work this scanner. I know the app can save lives but there is one thing that making me feel confused and mixed up: How come the scanner is sending messages that aren’t emergency’s from the broadcast? I need to know how to work this so I can use it properly. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t Work Well *2024-12-14* It seemed to work ok for certain areas in the country but not where I live so kind of makes it useless. Hopefully can fix ### 3/5 — Great app….but *2024-03-12* Let me start off by saying that I really do love this app. I have tried many, and they all are on about a 60-90 second delay from real time. Not this app! At least not the local channels I listen to. That is definitely a step above the others. However, the complaint I have is that I purchased the year for $40, but every time I start the app I hear a Well’s Fargo ad… the same ad every time. Then when I connect to the Bluetooth in my car, I hear the same ad again. I went to the website through the app to email them, but every attempt I receive “something went wrong, try again later “. Honestly, if I could get this ad problem straightened out, I would give a full 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Can’t use headphones with app *2023-07-23, version 1.5* When using the app my Bluetooth disconnects ### 4/5 — Great app, only one issue *2023-02-02* Only issue is that my AirPods don’t work with it, so the audio comes out of the speakers on the phone. If that could be fixed, then this app would be absolutely perfect ### 1/5 — Hope you like ad’s ? *2022-05-02, version 1.5* As soon as you tune into listen, you’re immediately going to listen to ads for about 1-2minutes. ### 1/5 — Useless in TN *2022-04-29* The scan revealed a number of “departments.” When I tried to select one, the same Error Message appeared. There were two small town departments that showed up, but with obscure ads… I suspect the Knoxville services are on more secure frequencies. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2022-04-27, version 1.5* Keeps saying “something went wrong! Try again.” On every scanner I try. App doesn’t work! ### 1/5 — Max *2022-03-24, version 1.4* Every channel I selected played music, no dispatch or fire anything just played music and commercials. Loaded and deleted in the same day ### 1/5 — No service *2022-02-02, version 1.3* Cannot find channel in my area ### 4/5 — Scanner Review *2021-12-04, version 1.3* I enjoy the response I get in diff channels. This again! ### 3/5 — new to using APP, recently downloaded . *2021-12-01* So far it's lookin okay ish .. I mean I literally just barely got it down loaded on to my Iphone. It has a few Ad pop up BullS@!?. Nothing that cant be ignored or patiently waited thru to get done what i want to do ... well... d o n e ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-10-24, version 1.3* Tried to access New York City police keep on getting errors try again . Waste of bytes ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work lol *2021-10-22, version 1.3* Paid for the premium service and it almost always errors when I get to play any channel. Basically useless. Would love a refund ### 1/5 — FAKE *2021-10-22* Does not work ### 1/5 — Charged me without having it on my phone *2021-10-22* It charged me the yearly subscription And ended up overdrafting my account, When I didn't even have it downloaded on my phone. Be cautious. ### 1/5 — Not as good as it once was *2021-09-01, version 1.3* Hard to navigate. Can only listen to one area at a time. That is important to me because I live in the corner of three counties. Poor excuse for a scanner app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not buy this it’s a scam *2026-06-08* It doesn’t work at all. I can’t get it to go to any county in Wisconsin. It keeps going to different counties. In other states I wouldn’t recommend this. Ever ### 1/5 — Not worth a darn. *2026-02-27* Definitely do not waste time or money. Can’t listen to any local. The search option is awful. You select country then state but the counties listed is for every state. Continuous error messages. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2026-02-03* I wanted to try the “BEST SCANNER APP” but it made me subscribe before I could even search scanners. No free trial or the option not to subscribe. So I paid the $2.99 for 7 days. I clicked on local, thinking it would have my local area scanners (like every other scanner app)! However, it had scanners for other states. I looked for a search button, but I couldn’t find anything to search other than selecting United States, then the state, then it tells you to select the county. A list of counties came up but it was a list of counties for every state. Why did I have to select my state if I have to scroll through every county in every state? Then when I actually found my county it was blank. Shouldn’t the cities be listed? So I tap refresh and I get sent back to the beginning. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this app just a ripoff? So their website says to send a message, I click to send one and it says “error”! I try again and same result! Don’t waste your money on this app! It’s a ripoff! ### 1/5 — Piece of $ !T app!! *2025-09-08, version 1.5* I downloaded this app and it doesn’t list MY FEED which I have had online for a few years!! Piece of $#!T!!! DELETED!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-07-23, version 1.5* Don’t download just another fake app ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-07-02* Was working fine and soon as I paid all my favorites didn’t work. I was wanting all my local feeds and it immediately stopped working! Don’t bother! ### 1/5 — Subscription should be outlawed *2024-04-22, version 1.5* Every app in the apple world is ran by subscription total garbage. I remember when this app was free. ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-10-24* Do not get this app it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — What a joke. *2023-04-22* Where do I begin. Does work. I thought I’d pay 2.99 to see if that would help. Nope. Tried to email them. That didn’t work either. Error messages left and right. So wasted my time and money. All I could get is commercials. Wow ### 1/5 — Trash *2022-09-05, version 1.5* This app is stupid, it doesn’t work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App Icon 🤨😳🙄 *2024-11-23* The developers knew exactly what they were doing when they designed this app icon. It looks just like the logo of a well-known website. ### 5/5 — Police scanner *2021-09-06* It’s a great app I love it I would highly recommend it ### 5/5 — Review *2021-04-18* Momma bear loves the scanner to know my family is ok when they are out ### 5/5 — Pick it’s the one *2021-01-13, version 1.3* This is the best ### 5/5 — Perfect Police Scanner ! 🚔🚔🧑‍✈️🚓🚓 *2020-08-16* This app Gives a smooth user experience and also the channels are exactly working.
