### 1/5 — DOA

*2022-08-26, version 3.0*

I just downloaded this app and nothing works on it, just the email link. Typical Worcester, can’t even design a working application

### 1/5 — It’s now dead.

*2021-01-06, version 3.0*

They never did update news very often.  It’s been dead for the last few weeks.  Oh, well.  Time to delete.

### 1/5 — Scanner doesn't work

*2017-03-14, version 2.1*

It used to. Useless now

### 1/5 — Did Not Work-Dead App

*2017-01-29, version 2.1*

I didn't notice there had been no updates since 2014 and even if I had I still would have downloaded and tried it out. I got nothing! I think it should be removed. Even my regular 900 Digital Trunking Scanner doesn't work they way it use to because of rebranding by the police in 2016. Now I need to buy the $400 D.Trunk Scanner or I use Scan Cat or Scanner Radio Deluxe App.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2016-10-14, version 2.1*

This app needs updating hasn't worked for a while now. Nothing comes in at all on scanner. Please fix

### 3/5 — What's going on?

*2013-10-02, version 1.1*

### 3/5 — Good app!

### 5/5 — 2013
