### 1/5 — Video ads

*2026-08-21*

I have no problem with ads. But it’s pretty low to mute the scanner audio when a video ad pops up. Then you have to click the speaker icon to unmute scanner audio which forces you to listen to both scanner and commercial

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting the issue. Please stay tuned for the next update, which should resolve it.

### 4/5 — Sleep Timer

*2026-06-10*

This app needs either a built in sleep timer or enable it to be stopped by the iOS timer.

### 1/5 — Randomly opens in background

*2026-06-01*

This app randomly opens itself in the background on a regular basis and tries to stream, even with no TG selected, and interrupts other audio. Seems to do it more when I’m connected to Bluetooth. Developer said they would be releasing an update to fix this “in a few weeks,” but that was months ago and it never came.

### 3/5 — Station issue

*2026-05-14, version 1.15.1*

Can find the station for my city anywhere

### 5/5 — Love it but…

*2026-04-24*

I love this app. But lately have had issues of it getting stuck while using on my iPad. I even replaced my iPad thinking it was the issue. It will work and then all of a sudden I will no longer be hearing radio traffic and look over it will have either the blue or red light lit up and no sound. I turn off and on and it may work for another second or so then does the same thing. I have relaunched the app, rebooted both the old and new iPad, reset both etc still happening.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comment. Please contact us at rdio-scanner@saubeo.solutions and we will be happy to assist you with your issue.

### 1/5 — Now has Ads even with a Subscription

*2026-04-04, version 1.15.0*

The latest update now has ads even for subscribers. Time to look for an alternative to Rdio Scanner.

Update: I received a response to this review from the developer who proceeded to gaslight me.

### 1/5 — Very Limited

*2025-12-30, version 1.14.3*

Basic if that, ended up switching to Thinline Radio.

### 1/5 — Randomly opens in background

*2025-12-26, version 1.14.3*

This app randomly opens in the background and tries to stream (even if I have no TG selected) multiple times a day. Seems to do it more when I’m connected to Bluetooth.

### 1/5 — No customer support

*2025-12-24, version 1.14.3*

Purchased the app Monday 12/22 and have not heard back about getting the needed access code, sent 3 emails and nothing. Just give me a refund of $39.99

### 2/5 — Blah blah blah

*2025-10-25, version 1.14.3*

Bottled water?
