Small town

Live in a small town and rarely anything happens. However, had a few occasions where this app has come into play and helped tremendously. Had a flood where most of the town was knee deep in rushing river water and on another, a stolen car had been pulled over in town where the occupants began shooting at the police officer. The 3 suspects took off on foot and it felt like the whole world came down on top of our little town of 1200 people. The scanner kept us up on what was going on as it was happening and what part of the city they were looking so as I didn’t have to worry and grab my gun as well.Great app

Using as a Police Scanner

I really enjoy this app! Have not delved beyond the police scanner yet, as that was main reason to use it. It works exactly as you would want for that. So many options! I live in a large city in CO and rest of my family live back in MI. This lets me not only know what is happening here in this huge city around me, but I can keep an ear out on my adult kids to👍🏼Interesting how you learn that when police departments complain how underfunded they are, or under staffed, by hearing that on any given weekend, in any district, only 3-4 cars are on the late night shift, and complaint calls hold for over 24 hrs....you can understand the frustration from not only the people in the city, but very much so by the police who have to answer those insanely late response times! Last weekend Friday night, 2am, 4 different calls were held involving guns and knives simply because there was no one to respond! Yup. Sorry for the long story, but this app has actual learning value to it. 109% recommendation ✌🏽

One of the best for free!

I shouldn't complain about the ads since it's free but they can be a pain. Sometimes the full screen ads won't allow you to X out of them. 95% of the time it works great though. It's nice to know what's going on around my neighborhood!Since the last iPhone update, I've been getting bumped off a lot! I'll play my game, which I've done several times in the past with no problems but now it's very annoying! Now I'm conflicted on my rating. Please fix!June 2017:Since my last post, I've learned that I have to update all my apps for this to work appropriately! I quits on me if I have anything pending. Also once you've established your station and if you can successfully "X" out of the ad, go the one page back, where you chose your station and then you can listen while doing other things on your phone without getting bumped off! I think leaving it on the clock page leaves it vulnerable to quitting! Now that I've figured all of this out, I can enjoy it! Thanks!

A Great Source Of Music

I love this app. The police and fire scanner allows me to pick up channels from all over the world. If you are bilingual, you’ll love listening to transmissions in Spanish, German, Russian, or a seemingly endless string of others worldwide. I especially love the wide variety of available music genres. I can listen to music 24/7, if I want to, and the choices of genre lead me further to more options of the genre, including radio stations. My only displeasure involves the Calm Radio subscription commercials that air almost every time a music selection is finished playing. It’s akin to listening to public radio - you can’t get around them, unless you subscribe.

Great Free App

I've owned a handheld digital scanner for years, and it was with me for much of my free time and always when I was in the car. Unfortunately it got knocked off a table and is not working. This app helps fill the gap pretty well. I like that I can listen to other areas from home and can tune in to home when traveling. I love that it has a timer that turns the app off if I fall asleep listening. I listen almost exclusively to law enforcement/fire. The one thing I do not like about the app is that more than one channel will run at a time. With City, County and Fire all going at the same time it is sometimes impossible to know what is happening. This is the next best thing to my handheld.

A Blue Lives Matter Staunch Supporter!

Love listening to this station any time of the day or night! This station displays the daily life of an officer in the field and the responsibility entrusted to dispatchers to get the initial info correct so each 1st responder knows what they’re walking into. I totally support our officers and other 1st responders who put their lives on the line each day to protect and/or address our needs when we are most vulnerable. The only negative I have is that some dispatchers talk way too fast to process what they are saying, some cities have less than ideal radio systems making it difficult to hear what officers are saying to dispatchers and some field personnel have the mics either in the wrong position or talk to softly for dispatchers to hear. Otherwise, I’d give this app a thumbs up but the commercial interruptions are starting to be annoying.

Could be better

My biggest problem with the app is the free version and the timing of the ads or commercials. I understand they are necessary for those of us not wanting to commit to a monthly fee- But the timing! If I turn this on it might be because a family member has medical issues and I just saw a ambulance going their direction- I only have a couple mins to catch the most identifying (Important) information.... I don’t want to watch a few ads first- Give people time to hear the call go out when possible- There has to be another way like allowing a customer the chance to watch as many ads as they want to earn “minutes” that can be applied the next time they use the app- Perhaps at closing or option during with a pop up but not completely shutting it off until they sit through it when starting app up- A lot of crucial info goes out during the initial call..I also notice it’s always shutting off at random when your trying to have it in the background... Otherwise it works pretty good, I’ve tried a couple others and always go back to this one every time!

Encrypted radio frequencies

It’s a very expensive install for most county/township. Ours paid 6.5 million 5 years ago. If anyone is wondering about their favorite or local channels missing, it’s not the apps fault, it’s the 911 centers ability to keep the criminal types from listening to dispatch. You might want to call the non-emergency phone number of the 911 center or someone in the county Sheriff’s office and ask if they encrypted their radio frequencies. 9 out of 10 times you’ll get they can’t tell you. So just Google it. Good luck scanning

Interesting entertainment, plus has TONS of music stations

Happened across this on the App Store, and was like:“Oh yeah! That’s right! They have these thingies where you can listen in, to the police scanners”!! Had forgot these things existed LOL. Interesting to listen to. Your area, or anywhere else. Ironically, the next day, my neighbors were having a domestic issue.. I knew police had to have been called; & sure enough, I heard it.. So it’s definitely fascinating. Then I see there’s music stations worldwide, too!! Diff than my other platforms. I’m into electronic music, & the more unique styles of European deep house & minimal tech stations available for example, had me pretty dang excited! 3 stars for the tech issues, crashes, cutting out, etc., but other than that, it’s fun to clean house and listen to music, or to what’s going on in my city, crime-wise. Although I’m sure there are private, non-transmittable channels also used, it’s still cool to listen to occasionally.

Getting the real scoop on what’s going on in other cities.

More and more lately I am using the app to keep up with what’s going on in cities we’re friends and relatives live. It is sometimes difficult to really know what is going on across the country just by watching the news. Listening police another emergency frequencies in a city that interests you. Is a great way to keep up on what’s really going on in a town you’re loved ones live in. On a nostalgic note. I also very much love the old time radio shows that are available through the app. It is also nice to hear classic art bell on those nights when I just can’t sleep.
