Dispatch Radio vs PrepAlert

Dispatch Radio turns your phone into a US police, fire and EMS scanner, with a live map of what is happening right now. LIVE MAP - Dispatch incidents pinned across the United States. Tap a pin to open the incident: the recorded radio transmissions, a transcript, a short summary and scene imagery. REPLAYS - A feed of recent dispatch calls, newest first, so you can catch up on what you missed. STATE CHANNELS - Pick a state and let its transmissions play continuously, like a scanner running on the shelf. ALERTS - Severity levels let you decide how much you hear about: everything, or only the serious calls. LOCAL NEWS - Reporting tied to the same map appears as a secondary layer, for context on the bigger incidents. PRO - A Dispatch Radio Pro subscription unlocks full incident details, the complete audio threads and scene images, unlimited map access and alerts near you. IMPORTANT - Audio comes from publicly available dispatch radio traffic. It can be delayed, incomplete or interrupted, and this app is not an emergency service and not an official source. In an emergency, call 911. Scanner use is regulated differently from place to place, so please check the laws where you are. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Account Settings after purchase.

PrepAlert shows you official warnings for where you are, and with Pro also for home, family or your holiday address. Severe storm, flood, earthquake, tsunami or wildfire: you get a notification as soon as an official agency issues a warning, an update when it changes, and a message when it is lifted. With travel mode (Pro) you also hear when the travel advice for your destination gets stricter. Why PrepAlert • Official sources, unaltered: you see the agency's own text, with attribution and a link to the original. • Only what affects you: warnings are matched to the warning area and your location (with Pro also your own places), not to the whole country. • Peace when possible: set quiet hours and a minimum severity. Extreme warnings still break through quiet hours. • What to do now: short, practical steps for each type of warning, also offline.

Privacy No account, no ads, no tracking. Your places only go to our alert service if you turn warnings on, and then rounded to about 1 km. AI features run on your device. One button deletes all your data on the server. Important PrepAlert is not an official alert system and does not replace public warning systems, sirens, radio or instructions from emergency services. Notifications can be delayed or missing, for example if a source or the mobile network fails. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
