★★★★Ad-ware🇺🇸 US

This app is trash. It’s one thing to display ads. It’s another to show the ad with no way to close it, even after a period of time. Don’t waste your time with this.

★★★★★Later🇺🇸 US

Later

★★★★★Good🇺🇸 US

Very good

Miks S· 2026-06-05
★★★★★Too many commercials🇺🇸 US

This used to be a great app, but now it’s filled with commercials and cuts off radio traffic. They need to fix it and bring it back the way it used to be

The app works very good. I wish my scan at work as good as the app.

★★★★★Pro is no longer pro🇺🇸 US

Bought the pro version years back but it is now full of adds. Reached out to the company with no response. Still works good though

Bradencannestra34· 2026-06-04
★★★★Ads on pro🇺🇸 US

Why are there ads on the pro version I purchased?

GenerousCarb· 2026-06-03
★★★★★Fun app for when you hear all the sirens!🇺🇸 US

Easy to use, and you can check if your local services use a band of radio that lets you listen to
