User Reviews
I really wish there was a way to save talk group preferences as a favorites list. I’d even pay for a pro version of the app if it was available!
Overall, very good app. Lots of choices if scanner sorted by area. My one recommendation would be, is add a search feature to the talk groups. Its very difficult to exclude channels you dont want.
Scanner shows way too many duplicate channels sand cannot find one channel in my area. Useless app!
Not a single New Mexico station
It’s not refreshing for today it’s stuck on 12 pm for Sacramento
Up until last week, 2026-03-02 the app was working fine; however; it’s now been 11 days of no service! When will the issue be fixed?
Still working.
I absolutely love how being able to get down to listen to direct channels only.
I’ve been using this app for a few months now to listen to Charlotte (NC) Fire. In the past few weeks it has steadily lost ops channels. My husband is a dispatcher so I know when there’s a call on a certain channel and it’s not coming through. Lost Echo first, and now Hotel is gone, and all feeds have gotten very spotty and break up terribly. Sad, cause I really loved this app but it’s not much good to me anymore.
Great app I'm sure they adding more departments and cities I use it on my iPhone 13 and it's plays a couple of transmissions/conversations out of nowhere it pauses 2-6 seconds into a transmission app freezes only choice is to force close and open it sometimes after that it reopen let you choice what department freezes again
Best scanner app with archives no cost!!!
Hey developer… this app is great I enjoy listening to the call that go on in the world quick question for you. Could you please add meridian Mississippi frequencies. Thanks so much.
