The good one.

My favorite scanner app. Most recent bug fix is a little glitchy but it’s been reliable for years so I can’t complain.

Edit: I think the glitch may be fixed! It was freezing periodically and no audio could be heard until you close and reopen the app.

Advertising is a nuisance

Advertising on app is a nightmare. I delete the app and reinstall because the advertising will not cancel itself out after a reasonable amount of time. I just may delete it and move onto something else less frustrating
