It use to have a favorite option where it saved it . ### 3/5 — Old fart grips *2026-07-16, version 12.7* No instructions on using the app. Why can we not listen to multiple agencies at the same time.? Is there a time delay, that makes the app useless or is it live audio.??? ### 1/5 — My god the ads *2026-07-12, version 12.7* Too many adds ### 1/5 — Shelby county station *2026-07-06, version 12.7* Be over all out service than more so end it use to be really good but not lately ### 5/5 — Informed *2026-07-03, version 12.7* Scanners have been heard in my home for the past 60 years. This phone app fills in when I’m on the road. ### 2/5 — Spotty *2026-06-27, version 12.7* Rarely get live audio ### 3/5 — Advertisement delay *2026-06-27, version 12.7* Advertisements don’t provide the word ‘Skip’ or an ‘X’, to remove. To remove, you have to shut off and reenter. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Another lousy app *2026-09-09, version 12.7* Yup, thanks to apps like this one more and more PD in California are switching to encrypt radios. Most departments in San Diego have switched. At the state level, the CHP in SoCal have moved channels or are moving them soon. Many more are switching at their next radio cycle update. I’ve been monitoring PD, FD, and Aviation frequencies since the mid 80’s. Most of that id going away thanks to greedy people who want to make money through their lousy apps. But soon the very thing that attracts most people to these apps—listening to FD frequencies—will be no more. Well, the biggest problem is that they are not only screwed themselves, but they are screwing everybody else, including those using scanners responsibly. I’m willing to be money than a lot of criminals. Usually stop to listen to police department to add them in evading police. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2026-09-06, version 12.7* Can hear sirens all over the neighborhood for the last 30 minutes and not one thing has come over the scanner ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-27, version 12.7* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Horrible! Does not work. *2026-08-13, version 12.7* Used to work but not for the last few months. Avoid this app! ### 1/5 — Fraudulent billing, awful company. *2026-08-11, version 12.7* Spent hours on phone with Apple bc this company requires you to cancel subscription 24 hours before trial period ends. Finally called them and they said they’d call me back and never did. So upset with there unethical practices ### 1/5 — Annoying Advertisement *2026-08-07, version 12.7* No way to click out of advertisements. They're annoying. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous gambling advertisements! *2026-08-03, version 12.7* Police scanner works good however the advertisements make me not want to use the app at all! ### 1/5 — Stick a fork in it... *2026-08-01, version 12.7* Even with updates, this app no longer even functions. Oh wait, it plays ads just fine of course...1 star because zero stars is not an option. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE SCANNER *2026-07-19, version 12.7* If you love a police scanner that as soon as you turn it on you get bombed with advertisement after ad advertisement popping up so fast that you can’t even click something on the actual not just in the bottom, but sometimes covering the whole screen then this is the app for you. Now if you want an actual app. That you can actually use then this is not the app for you. ### 1/5 — Good luck *2026-07-12, version 12.7* You get maybe 5 seconds of listening into it shuts off and jumps to an ad. You won’t hear the details you want to hear. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Moonshine *2026-09-06, version 12.7* Love let’s me in on the whereabouts 🍺🍺🍺 ### 5/5 — Police officers *2026-09-04, version 12.7* Great coverage of our city police officers & what they deal with in this city. ### 5/5 — Don *2026-08-30, version 12.7* Very good sound quality ### 5/5 — Advertisement- can’t click out. *2026-08-29, version 12.7* I support ads that last for 90 seconds, but I don’t see a corner button to dismiss after advertisement timing.
