If something is going on ahead I can usually scan the area police or state troopers and get an idea. It makes me appreciate the police even more than I already did from what I hear on Police Scanner & Fire Radio. The updates are just great. This is the best scanner app. ### 3/5 — Audio *2026-05-20, version 30.8* Audio is not very clear ### 3/5 — Prefer Old Interface *2026-04-15, version 30.4* I love this app and use it very often. However I do not like the new plain text interface. I miss the customized background and look of the radio part. I also do not like how you are not able to tell if a station is Offline at the moment. Please bring that part back also. ### 2/5 — Don’t pay for the upgrade *2026-04-11, version 30.3* The scanner will stop playing if there’s an ad… super inconvenient. I paid for the upgrade for no ads.. STILL HAS ADS! WASTE OF MONEY ### 4/5 — Where is the aviation channels now? *2026-04-06, version 30.2* Since the update, where did the live ATC channels go? ### 4/5 — Preferred old version *2026-04-03, version 30.2* I wish I hadn’t updated. Navigation now is so obtuse. ### 3/5 — Older was better *2026-04-02, version 30.1* I liked the recently replaced interface better than the new. Years ago it had a lot more stations and districts in Ohio to listen to. ### 3/5 — New interface is worse than old *2026-03-31, version 30.0* I don’t like the new interface. ### 3/5 — Clarity *2026-01-25, version 20.1* Many of the conversations sound slurred. Sharper clearer sound would be much appreciated. ### 3/5 — Review from zip 57747 *2025-11-20, version 20.1* Not a lot of scanner feed anymore ### 2/5 — Not reliable *2025-10-11, version 20.1* I live in Mooresville NC, Iredell County. The fire And police coverage was very good for a long time but has now disappeared completely. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working , *2026-06-07, version 30.8* I paid for one of these apps now I can’t even use it, this app and its updates don’t even work , I have to go out of the area till even listen to it ### 1/5 — It’s constantly off-line! *2026-06-01, version 30.8* When it works, it’s wonderful.
