Good, but...I like this app, but Sometimes crashes and as others have noted... Bring back NZ content!.Version: 0

Scammer not scanner for NZI recently purchased the app because it had NZ in the selection. Now I find NZ removed without notification only days after purchasing. I wonder if this will happen to other countries....Version: 0

ServiceThe service for this app has been really choppy lately..hard to make stuff out etc..Version: 46.0

What a bunch of greedy con artistsI am getting so sick of this new business model that all companies are employing. We pay for a lifetime subscription or buy a pro version and now you weasels all find a new way to squeeze more money out of us by making these new pro plus or higher tiers. We already bought the highest tiers. Now you greedy companies are doing everything you can to weasel your way out of your original sales of your app. How pathetic are you. If I paid for a pro version and it was a one time price, that’s your loss. Finding a way to screw us into paying even more for features that were already included is so unethical and unfair. I will be deleting your app and demanding a refund for my original purchase from apple. I will also be seeking to file a class action lawsuit against you and all these other companies that are employing this new business scam. You messed up. We will take you all down. Con artists..Version: 61.0

Better than Nothing!I am a firefighter's wife, and I used to listen to our home scanner when my husband was on a big call just for something more productive to do than sitting and wondering what he could be getting into there. When our county switched to digital radios our home scanner no longer worked. A fellow fire wife recommended this app to me tonight, and so far so good. I'm definitely not hearing as much of the radio traffic as I used to with the home scanner but I was able to hear enough to have an idea of what was going on and when he might be getting home. The quality for the audio was good, and the app itself was very easy to use..Version: 39.1

MisleadingIt isn't Ronseal - doesn't do what it says on the tin! Search facility is very poor and it comprises almost entirely of lists of Internet feeds. If you are in UK only feed appears to be from Cornwall. I was looking to see how good it was for aircraft radio - tried searching using airport codes LAX etc . . Nothing just reverts to long lists of the previously stated Internet feeds. Could be better nees the front end to be set up for the different categories ie police / aircraft / marine etc and them by country and so on. . ..Version: 0

Needs Perth county oppUsed to be a lot better. They lost a ton of channels and have not gotten them back, plus no OPP for almost any county... I paid full price for this app and it has let me down. Do not buy it if you want access to OPP.Version: 40.0

Upsett customerHi I bought this program, as it was advertised with NZ built in,, so I paid for it only to find out NZ is longer covererd, so its been a total waste of time & money for me :(.Version: 0

It’s OKThe free version of this is so temperamental and buggy that i took a chance because some reviews said the $5 is worth it. Yeah ok it works WAY better than the free one.. but it still has ‘dead’ stations that dont activate, then inexplicably later on there’ll be 20 people listening and it’s ‘back on.’ It has a lag sometimes, and other times there is a complete replay of a 5-8 minute segment. Several medical calls and ‘police chases’ have been like that. The only way to tell is the ‘time stamp’ the dispatchers say after each transmission. All of of a sudden, yer tossed back to the start of the encounter. Since EMS radios dont normally do that, it has to be some function of the app. I also wish there wasnt such a huge conglomerate of ‘regional public safety’ channels, because all of the transmissions step all over each other and my medium sized city doesnt have separate EMS/fire/police, it just scrambles them all together. Dont put the county sheriff, highway patrol, and ems/fire/police together and expect a glowing review. Overall: yeah i didnt have to spend $400 to get all of this with a head unit or H/T, and its portable so i can listen at home or work. It’s worth the $5. There isnt a better app out there yet cuz i evaluate several besides this one every month..Version: 51.0

Don’t pay for this!!!!I just payed for this app when it is the same as the free one.Version: 51.0

Just like the othersBought this specifically for the NZ content which did work... But this seems to have disappeared in a recent update. I have a short cut within the app, but click and the app crashes. Very disapointed! That said, it works well otherwise so if you don't care about NZ content the go for it..Version: 0

New Zealand :-(Please give us back New Zealand frequency..Version: 20.0

Shockingly badDoesn't do what it's supposed to. Getting a refund..Version: 40.0

False advertise :(Not for Canada and New Brunswick !! That say Police Scanner but it’s only Fire Scanner ... $ 6.99 !! It’s a Joke !.Version: 46.0

It could be betterWhat about New Zealand? Please bring it back..Version: 39.1

Hardly anything but staticOnly station that worked - briefly, was Gippsland Police Q1 and Q2. All the other I tried were either static or wouldn't play. Interface looks OK, but if you can't listen to things what's the point? $6 wasted..Version: 39.1

New Zealand no longer listed. Purchased under false pretenseI purchased the Pro version after discovering New Zealand had been discontinued from the list. This is not acceptable under consumer rights act wher goods have to meet the criteria for which they were intened, and this doesn't. Where is New Zealand? I want it back on the list please Urgent. You should not just take this off the list without first having a discussion. Not good practice Put it back on please.Version: 0

Pro?-drops my connections and doesn't let me get it backSure the ads are gone, but $4 for that just seems a bit excessive. I didn't need extra feeds, I live in an area with only one relevant feed! Don't care about the find friends thing, or anything else pro offers, iPhones offer that already. Waste of time... All I wanted was ads gone. What I got was that plus my connection randomly dropping and not being able to restart for 2-3 minutes at a time. So they'll be in the middle of talking and *bam* there goes my radio, and when I go back to connect? Nothing. It won't start. Even when I close and reopen the app, nothing. Thanks, pro..Version: 39.1

Not happyWhere's new Zealand.Version: 0

Delayed and seems to crash a lot latelyI’ve used this app for years and liked it but lately it’s been having problems with crashing. I’ll open it and it immediately crashes. Sometimes after 5 or 6 tries it will stay on. They don’t seem to do updates often so it takes a while to get fixed when this happens. Also be aware that the stuff you hear is delayed. When you hear the dispatchers say the time on the air it’s always 3-4 minutes behind what the time actually is. I’ve heard sirens going by so I open the app and it’s a good few minutes before I hear what’s going on, on this scanner app. Another thing is they decide what to broadcast when you’re listening to a channel that includes a couple different cities. Just like now, I was listening to them search for a way to get access to a brush fire for a good 30 minutes. Why? I know there’s other stuff going on so why are they choosing to only put this out. I stick with this app because I like the recording feature and I did pay for pro years ago but there is more and more competition on the App Store that’s becoming tempting. If something major changes, I’ll update my review..Version: 52.0

NzBring nz content back.Version: 0

Too many agencies on one scanner feedI listen to Kingman AZ. FD, but miss half the calls because of so much other traffic. This one scanner feed has FD dispatch that dispatches for 4 FD’s in the area, which is good, but It also has City PD, County Sheriffs, State PD, and a private Amb. Company and another law enforcement agency that I can’t even make out because it’s so scratchy. Why can’t it be broken up? All the other feeds I have used in the past for other area do that. PD and FD should be separated and and the private Amb shouldn’t be on public safety. This app crashed a lot also, but with the last update, that seems to have helped greatly. I’m sure this is a great app for the feeds I saw that just cover one agency, but this feed is annoying and frustrating..Version: 45.0

Don’t do it , app sucks unless you live in a big city no way to searchLive in northern Alberta and there was only 15 city’s waste of 5.50.Version: 41.4

Generally fair but needs improvementThis is the third scanner app I’ve tried, all with pretty much the same results. I use it to monitor Minneapolis Fire Department. It’s easy to use and to open. But unfortunately there are 3 shortcomings: first, the audio quality is inconsistent, ranging from loud & clear to almost unintelligible, often cutting in and out in the middle of a transmission. Second, the app often closes by itself. If I haven’t heard any radio traffic in a while, I check my phone and sure enough, the app closed. Third, even when the app is open, sometimes it seems to stop working for a few hours. I know because the Minneapolis Fire Dept. broadcasts radio checks at specific times and if I don’t receive those, I know something’s wrong. I’ve even known the app to go silent for days at a time. Verdict: fairly good when it works, but inconsistent and unreliable..Version: 52.0

Not on the listTo new Zealand buyers... Nz is now no longer avalible so waste of money.Version: 0

NzI payed for nz where is it?.Version: 24.0

Not worth itStick with the free version. Don't expect to find the missing location you're looking for just because it has "over 50,000" more feeds. This number seems to be purely padded by extra freely-available internet radio stations. The recording feature doesn't work. The "chat" feature merely takes you out of the app and onto a webpage with an embedded Disqus comment section..Version: 39.1

BummerThis app is garbage it use to work well in Aus but since digital upgrade buy various departments nothing works apart from one or two feeds won't open most feeds anymore it's a real shame.Version: 39.1

Stick to free versionGreat little app, but upon purchasing the Pro version I’ve been disappointed to find nothing extra or new as promised! Stick to the free app..Version: 46.0

HighmilerIt's a good app but need more Canadian police scanners and to be able to enter different counties.Version: 46.0

Clunky & frustratingIt’s probably a great app if you live in the USA. Every time I open the app it opens on a Los Angeles station. Asking for local feeds yields zero results - lucky that I know a couple of local feeds that I could search by country- state- region..Version: 61.0

Very disappointing appDownloaded this for my area of montgomery county OH. Fire ems is great ( fire ems dropped since i bought pro version) but no police. dayton, kettering, huber, etc. Why are theses not available? also, in TN there is entry says Metro Nashville Fire, it is NOT fire at all . listening it is law enforcement . scanner id says Vanderbuilt Univ. it is a parking service channel please change the feed. If available, add Metro Fire for nashville. would be good to listen i have friends there. I. bought the Pro version and right now i’m very disappointed in what is here. Please add more for dayton oh area. thank you 5/23 update Don’t waste your money this app is rarely update and most of the channels are weather or ham radio related which you can get elsewhere..Version: 52.0

Pro version still has adsHow to remove ads?. I'm using pro version and I can't see how to remove ads. If I follow Remove Ads on the app it just takes me to pro version in App Store but I've already got it and only has Open option. Sort it out..Version: 39.0

Poor ATC feeds.All I’m getting with ATC tower feeds from Toronto is static and broken mike feeds..Version: 50.0

Very disappointed - not worth $6.99I’ve been using the free version for many years . The interface was clunky and the ads were annoying , but it kinda worked. So I decided to upgrade to the paid Pro version for “ the many improvements” Aside from the almost hidden features (Recording & Timer) still has Ads and the interface looks like it was made by a first timer. Soooooo,not worth the $6.99 . Getting a refund !.Version: 43.0

DisappointedI'm totally blind and using this app with Voiceover on a bluetooth keyboard. I've noticed there are unlabeled buttons, and although I can record, I cannot find a way to play back the recordings, or even a list of the recordings? I saw the alarm button and a few other buttons including a record button, but there are unlabeled buttons and I could not get any of them to play anything, and didn't know what they were? Very confusing. Love idea. I've made recordings I can't even play back. I hope this is fixed soon, or that you make a tab labeled playback and make that accessible. Maybe I'm missing something. Hope so and love this app. Also love the idea of being able to record and having it stop during silences. Thanks for reading this and you can email me with any questions..Version: 46.0

Only some of NZ work?Only 2 out of 4 NZ scanners work? Not what I paid for!?.Version: 24.0

OkOk.Version: 61.0

Garbage add onI paid the $5.39 to get the pro version which is supposed to have a lot more feeds and lots of extras, the new feeds are just people doing air casts and I haven’t found 1 new feature yet!! Not impressed and want my money back!!.Version: 41.3

No NZComplete waste of time and money..Version: 24.0

Why pay?I do not fully understand the difference between the free and the paid version of this app. 10 minutes of using this app I realized the free version was sufficient enough. I’m still getting ads from time to time, the map is useless, the chat is a weird online forum, like a lesser version of Reddit - which is accessible only through a web browser instead of within the app itself. Full of advertisements as well, furthermore the “chat” isn’t at all specific to the radio “station” you’re listening to and so you’d have to dig through comments to find anyone on the same radio as you. Very dumb. The extra radio stations are not valuable at all, there are only a handful and not interesting. I don’t bow why anyone would use or need this feature anyways. I don’t understand what I’m getting for $4.99 vs free…. I honestly can’t tell the difference. I’m pretty disappointed. If I wasn’t lazy, I’d probably ask for a refund- I deserve it because this a a useless paid app. Don’t buy. Use the free version..Version: 50.0
