It’s says 24 hour active, but it only goes back 12 hours. Quite disappointing considering what they charge and the fact that I can listen to the same scanner for free. I paid specially for the archives.
When I downloaded it, I read somewhere that it's free to listen with no account necessary, yet when I opened it, I immediately was greeted with an inescapable pay wall. I signed up for a free trial, because I badly needed the app in the moment, but now I'll be cancelling after also discovering that the app itself also wasn't helpful.

Other scanners is just better I like a refund
We can’t get police calls or it is not a Police Scanner for any work miles around my area, which makes it worthless to me. The whole point was to see what’s going on.
Not user friendly canceled!
I’ve been looking for a new scanner app since my last one stopped working. Downloaded this one for the free trial to see if it worked well (IT DID NOT, poor quality app, glitches and doesnt work half the time). My subscription screen says it will charge me AFTER the trial ends. Almost immediately thereafter it charged me $39.99 for a year’s subscription. I DON’T WANT A YEAR OF THIS GARBAGE, MUCH LESS EVEN A FREE TRIAL. They aren’t responding to multiple emails like a scam artist. Calling my bank to dispute the charge. Scam artists!!!

I’ll hear something going on in my neighborhood and of course that’s when the scanner doesn’t work,
Only shows live time but doesn’t go back the 30min waste of money
No one time purchase. no free with ad version. $40 per month
Supposed to be a free trial but was instantly charged $50 DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS IS A SCAM
Unsubscribed before payment due date still on my account like I’m being forced to pay 😡😡😡messed up my whole Apple Store. I can’t download nothing on my phone that important then on top of it, you can’t get a hold of support . Very annoying.
Love this so much thank you
You gotta pay to listen to the stations might I add crime radar does the same thing that this does and more 100% free
Stupid app
Not free. Impossible to use. No free version
Not my area, not even my state.
This app is trying to charge my card 50 bucks and putting me into the negatives and they will not respond to my messages POs
says it’s free but it costs money. What a scam
Doesn’t have my county, and I haven’t found where to cancel my free trial before I get charged
This was supposed to be a 7 day free trial before charging the full amount and instead was charged the full amount. No free trial. I want a refund!
