Using this scanner helps me determine what areas I should be in. I like being in areas that are more likely to need services. That way I can accept the call ### 5/5 — Great app which is also very accessible for voiceover! Great job *2026-08-12, version 2.7.1* Developers went ahead and made it very accessible for Blind users with voiceover! This is fantastic! Wonderful job ### 5/5 — Ceaz *2026-08-11, version 2.7.1* Get a four star ### 5/5 — Scanner *2026-08-10, version 2.7.1* Good listening ### 5/5 — The BEST *2026-08-10, version 2.7.1* I’m a first responder and this is an excellent app. Well organized, alerts are great. Highly recommend. ### 4/5 — Really good but *2026-08-09, version 2.7.1* This app is good but the only problem is that it won’t connect sometimes even if there’s like 60 other people connected. ### 3/5 — Always off line *2026-08-09, version 2.7.1* It’s fine, a little buggy and can’t understand stuff but always off line though when you need it. ### 1/5 — Used to be great before the ad wall *2026-08-08, version 2.7.1* Terrible after they started forcing you to watch ads as soon as you open the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Advertising is a nuisance *2026-08-19, version 2.7.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Discontinued local radio Traffic *2026-08-17, version 2.7.1* For some reason they discontinued the local radio traffic for Rockingham County North Carolina. ### 1/5 — Fire department *2026-08-14, version 2.7.1* My local fire department is no longer available so no more reason to use the app ### 1/5 — City Police Accelerated Oversight *2026-08-14, version 2.7.1* Various methods of encryption for our public safety is a major concern, then again we live in a third world country that we think we are superior above all…. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2026-08-13, version 2.7.1* The scanner app for my area went offline for a couple months. When it returned, it was a new “updated version”. Since it has come online, stations that broadcast are scratchy and I can’t understand them. When broadcasting, the station volume is low, scratchy, and fluctuates in and out. Impossible to hear or understand. This time of year, in my area, it’s critical to be able to hear the scanner, due to high fire dangers. The fire broadcast is the terrible, with law enforcement a close second. Please fix the issues with the app, so I can understand what’s happening in my area ### 1/5 — Junk. Doesn’t work anymore *2026-08-13, version 2.7.1* Spams you with lots of ads but stopped working a few weeks ago! ### 1/5 — Newest bug fixes *2026-08-13, version 2.7.1* Literally bugged the app so badly ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-12, version 2.7.1* Garbage ### 1/5 — Geographically Wrong *2026-08-11, version 2.7.1* My local township is supposed to be the only thing coming through. Yet, this just seems to be a broadcasting from Broadcastify’s coverage of my whole county. This app use to be good. Severely downhill now for a semi-rural user. ### 1/5 — Issue with radio channel *2026-08-11, version 2.7.1* The channel for Blount court Tennessee is offline it’s not the first time seeing this I haven’t used the app in awhile but the last time I used this app the same thing happened please fix this issues I’ve used this app for years now it’s not working I’ll give 5 stars if fixed until then it’s getting 1 star ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The good one. *2026-08-23, version 2.7.2* 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. ### 5/5 — 5-0 *2026-08-22, version 2.7.2* Respect for the public servants keeping us safe🫶🏻 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-22, version 2.7.1* I love this police scanner ### 5/5 — Police Scanner *2026-08-17, version 2.7.1* I love when the Kent county DE scanner WORKS!!! Recently it works mostly it does not pick up. Very disappointed. ### 5/5 — He’s *2026-08-16, version 2.7.1* Grea ### 5/5 — Seems to work in my area *2026-08-15, version 2.7.1* Scanner has a lot of ads but works in my area ### 5/5 — The good one. *2026-08-15, version 2.7.1* My favorite scanner app. Most recent bug fix is a little glitchy but it’s been reliable for years so I can’t complain. ### 5/5 — Keeping in touch *2026-08-15, version 2.7.1* I really appreciate your app !!!

Dietrich ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-15, version 2.7.1* Great watching ### 5/5 — Best scanner app *2026-08-12, version 2.7.1* Used this for yearsss. I really like the idea of live transcript that was added, but it is borderline useless…. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
