FDNY RADIO

I live in a town in NJ the only fire department I enjoy listening to is FDNY

It’s a mid level scanner

It does let you highlight all the counties and city’s to get notifications for them. And some channels are blocked out / static so you can’t hear them. Also so of the regular channels cut in and out a lot lately. You have to pay to even use it when the site they use for the channels is free. And ultimately most of the channels are not labeled correctly so you have to actually know what channel you need to find it.

Very Buggy

I was a Broadcastify user and it worked fine but I am repeatedly having issues with this new app dropping after just a minute or two and then repeating the same calls over again and then dropping again. I’ll give it a little longer before giving up and canceling but hoping this gets sorted soon.

Response from developer

please open a support request with us at support@broadcastify.com - we would appreciate an opportunity to provide you support, including understand which feed, features of the app, and getting more info from you before leaving us a negative review. We never heard from you about any of this via any of our support channels.

Better features then any other scanner app

Building custom Calls playlist and playing them on this app is a game changer.

Also, the ability to hold a channel and or ignore them is also a fantastic feature, when playing a playlist.

This will be a 5 star app very soon. Just some small tweaks first.

Issues playing

When I normally have mine in standard mode, I can press the call and get caught up, when I do that or start this one, it doesn’t play and just stays on the call as they come in. Still never hearing a single one
