ShoutPLEX lets you play multiple audio streams at a time, ideal for the police or fire scanning enthusiast on-the-go! The app will automatically "duck" the volume of apps you've set as Secondary when Primary streams become active, letting you choose what's most important for you to hear You can optionally add the credentials of your (paid) Broadcastify membership to add those as well. Channels currently modulating (producing audio) light up pink as shown in the screenshot, to indicate stream activity The app supports SHOUTcast, Icecast, and Broadcastify streaming URLs. (You'll need to find and add these yourself) We take privacy very seriously around here and as such, there are no trackers, no ads, and no in-app purchases. Finally, while your Broadcastify credentials are stored in the app's space on your phone, they are only transmitted to Broadcastify when authenticating your requests, via HTTPS. We do not, and will never, store or send those credentials anywhere else This app's code is entirely open source! Please find that info in the Settings page
