5-0 Radio Pro Police Scanner for Positive User Reviews
✓ Worth the upgrade.I love listening to my favorite music while driving around with the local scanner playing over my music so I stay up to date. This app possibly saved my family from injury as well. A couple months ago, we had a couple tornados touch down and this app picked up the storm teams frequency so I heard exactly where the storm was going and was able to warn my family to take cover. I hope this app stay operational forever. I’ve been using it over 5 years maybe longer. Download it and just pay for the upgrade , you will never want a refund!!.Version: 52.0
✓ Great.Very cool..Version: 39.1
✓ UsefulThis app does what it says it will do..Version: 39.1
✓ Keep Tabs on BushfireThis App is sure handy in bushfire season in Wedt Australia. Can hear where the firemen are at & what’s happening. Last week a major bush fire came within 500m of our house with helitankers all round every few minutes all day. The App helps us stay ready to fight on our property off Thomas Rd. Saved our butts..Version: 46.0
✓ HappyI have had this app on my phone’s fore around 5 years. It has always bean a way of knowing what is happening back at home. More local feeds would be good. I’m happy to recommend this app to everyone..Version: 42.0
✓ 5-0 Radio Pro Insanely Useful5-0 Radio Pro is very useful by far as it keeps me updated whenever I see or hear emergency vehicles approaching into my area. It’s especially comforting when the treacherous bushfire season comes around. My heart sinks when I can see smoke anywhere in my area which has a high concentration of bushland, gum trees and things that burn extremely well when they want too! It just helps with that peace of mind that our brave men and women of the Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) & the Country Fire Service (CFS) of South Australia are on scene as it were and taking care of business. The app helped immensely during the Sampson Flat Bushfire in 2015 when the information that we received from the app, helped us make the decision to leave as the fire had jumped containment lines. We could hear the frantic calls of the strike teams saying it was heading towards Golden Grove and they needed every available truck to assist. As we were leaving there was rein-enforcements coming up from Adelaide at 3am in the morning. When it was safe to return home the next day, the app kept me constantly updated with the chatter amongst the strike teams, had my binoculars in hand and I kept watch all day as I was the only home at the time. Bomber after bomber came flying over my place dropping water and retardant over the fire front which was on the other side of hill and in the valley where they couldn’t get at it, because of the immensely steep terrain. That happened for almost two weeks after the fire had started. It burned through thousands and thousands of hectares of land, making it one of the worst in recent South Australian memory. Thanks to the creators of this app. You helped us in our time of great need. Cheers!.Version: 41.4
✓ Johnny3290Hi my name is Jean Marc and I’m writing to you guys as the scanner for Ottawa is off line and was wondering when it will be fixed as I have family who live in Ottawa.Version: 52.0
✓ Great appWorks really well if any emergency happens near by, can find out what is going on.Version: 41.4
✓ Listen 24/7I listen to my local station 24/7..Version: 50.0
✓ 5-0 RADIO PROBeing a former police officer for many years & now a security guard, a great police radio scanner is an extremely important tool to have with you while on duty. I can honestly tell you that this police radio scanner app is the best in the business it’s extremely accurate and never fails to work properlyI would highly recommend this app not only for entertainment but for the safety of all that is concerned considering the way this world is going today at least you would be forewarned of a dangerous situation heading your way..Version: 46.0
✓ Brilliant app, ignore low ratingsDon't listen to the simpletons who don't understand why UK feeds aren't available on this or any app of its kind. The full list of feeds is available to view online before you buy! Great app, frequently updated by devs who listen to their userbase's requests and suggestions..Version: 0
✓ No UK PoliceYou will NOT get ANY UK police radio frequencies with this. All UK police frequencies are now encrypted, the only way you can receive UK police is with an Airwave radio which is governed by the Home Office. If one of the radios is lost the crystal is destroyed automatically. Think about, if you can listen to police frequencies so can the criminal element who would use it to their advantage so it's a good idea that they can't. I'm surprised the Americans haven't adopted the same system. Police talk is just for police and not criminals.Version: 0
✓ AwesomeI have listened to scanners many years (even back in the 'crystal' days 😊). I used to have a Crystal scanner that scooted me out of bed and onto the road for responses when I was a volunteer fireman / medic many years ago. It was tough going to work after battling a house fire at 3 am and then trying to get to work on time. I have assisted in many, many residential emergencies and vehicle emergency situations. I have tremendous respect for the law enforcement and firemen / emergency medical responders today. I love this app. This app is awesome beyond belief!.Version: 40.0
✓ Not much to hear these daysEver since local law fire and rescue agencies switched from digital to Marx listening to what’s going on in our area has gotten quite dull. And now lacks law enforcement go to tac which further silences scanner traffic. I realize this is not the fault of 5.0 radio but it may be the reason behind fewer listeners. I do enjoy listening to other countries and the different municipalities here in our own country. Keep up the great work 5.0 radio!.Version: 52.0
✓ Pro Works Well:Clear & No AdsI live in a town with less than 14,000 peeps. After realizing a digital scanner starts at $200 and would have to be programmed, I realized it would be better to take a chance on this $5 app. I sure am delighted with the savings. In fifteen minutes, I had easily added multiple local fire, EMS, and police favorites. As I write this in the middle of the night, I am hearing callouts for vehicle stops, an overdose, and other activity. This keeps me in the loop as to what is happening in the surrounding area and next county over. I recognize the roads and apartment buildings being identified. It will be beneficial to add other cities around the nation to keep an eye on my family for weather and other events. Even railroad lines are included. The sound quality is nice. No ads with pro. Better than the scanner for me..Version: 52.0
✓ Reliable AppPro version is the way to go. Works reliably when required..Version: 41.3
✓ Most interesting crime fighting toolLet's you know what type of unbelievable things can happen . We are in Edmonton Alberta Canada . For a while the scanners didn't pick up EPS. Now it's back on again , . Good for awareness in our local community and we can warn others if anything is close. If a person is caught using a scanner to help with a crime that's a major offence that can land a person in jail so be smart . So many eediots! Lol And a few are cops in my city . CRAZYFUNNYCATS66 Instagram Edmonton police now uses an encrypted technology so they are offline now.Version: 46.0
✓ LEOs WifeI know I shouldn’t listen since my husband is on patrol, & Some spouses/partners may disagree, but I have for the last 15+ years, it makes me feel like I’m with him, especially since when he was deployed in the army I never knew what was going on & blackouts were frightening. This is just a good as any other scanner, there is a 1 minute delay from the LEOs scanner to this, but I believe that’s a safety feature for LEOs, so they still have a 1minute advantage. Great for anyone who wonders what our brave men & women go through, not just the officers, but dispatch too for quickly getting info to them & handling the emergencies over the phone..Version: 50.0
✓ Retired and still listening.Great source of entertainment for Emergency Service workers no longer able to continue serving. Listening in gives a feeling of still being involved. Thanks!.Version: 60.0
✓ Great appAwesome app, love your work!.Version: 39.1
✓ Well worth a go ..........Yeah like it ,love listening to Chicago police and los angeles police quite alot you can go all over the world with it . Would like to be able to listen to all off the conversation , but that will probably come with time ? For the price of a chocalate bar well worth a go ..Version: 0
✓ Amazing app!I have been using the free version of this app for over a year. It's been very reliable and instrumental for knowing where trouble is happening. Decided today to buy the ad free version because I've used it so much and wanted to help fund its developers. It's fun to listen in, and very helpful to have it handy when danger looms in my hometown. It proved crucial last year, when icy road conditions were happening, and I was able to get home thanks to the information I was able to get from local first responders using the app..Version: 39.1
✓ Worth the $5 in my opinionI was wondering if the Pro version would be worth it. The answer is YES! No annoying pop up ads and much more offered such as radio stations and more. Although I’m not totally sure that’s not offered in the free version. Regardless only real complaint is wishing there was more channels available in my county. I think there are basically clustered in the offered listings. I could have gotten this app cheaper less than a year ago. That would have been better too..Version: 50.0
✓ The Real Deal: None Better (Especially Using Headphones)I was reluctant having used cheaper scanners, in the past, but new year, so try something new. This app is DEFINITELY WORTH the upgrade. Think of anything you want, in a scanner and this app has it. Living in ChIraq, on the edge (1.5 miles from) one of the 3 worse killing zones in this post-industrial, hyper-segregated nightmare, violence is part of everyday life. For me, this not a ‘cop groupie’ entertainment toy, it similar to the best weather app, for a long distance trucker: essential. Do not hesitate. You can ‘Google’ the police codes and print them, but the app, also has a pull down menu..Version: 40.0
✓ GreatEnjoyed this app for a couple of years now..Version: 39.1
✓ Copy thatUse it all the time..Version: 42.0
✓ Better than the free versionI listened to the US and their boring police nonsense (burglaries and boring car chases) but I was in stitches about UK cops trying to download something onto a laptop. Now I feel somehow unclean. Yes UK coverage is poor but the world is big and funny and tragic. And this full app has hundreds of radio stations too. Just to clarify. I don't know what they were trying to download. And I'm suggesting nothing. Well worth the price..Version: 0
✓ Great scanner app - worth fee for pro versionHave had the free app for years - PD and FD near me were boring to listen to. Lately FD is many runs deep, using mutual aid (calling other departments to help). Police is super busy on calls like assault, man with knife, stolen vehicles, etc. The ads on the free version caused the steam to stop, without the ads, I hear 95-99% of the calls during any hour. Worth 5 bucks for sure. If someone happens nationally, say activity shooter, wild fires, etc; search that area and start listening. You can explain what’s happening, real time, better than the news. A+..Version: 61.0
✓ Tango November can u read me overReally good app, didn't think I would hear anything at all but heard loads from all channels I've been on. Easy to use with a nice simple screen. Well worth downloading !!.Version: 0
✓ Great!Great just wish more local in Alberta.Version: 51.0
✓ Very goodApp is very good at what it does but could do with more built in Australian frequencies.Version: 39.1
✓ Great appGood to see police are doing a great job! Keeping us safe..Version: 39.1
✓ 5-0 radioGreat, no hassles and has a lot of frequencies.Version: 39.1
✓ Very coolThe police channels alone were what caught my attention but with the added thousands of radio stations also on offer this makes for a very entertaining app.Version: 0
✓ TopGunsI give this TopGuns in my book. Lots of variety locally and over the continent..Version: 51.0
✓ Excellent for Law Enforcement ChaplainsAs a law enforcement chaplain. I love working for these officers. These police men and women that I serve in the Sacramento area have been crucified the media and I'm truly disappointed. But I thank God for this scanner I have been able to pray and respond when I am called out. Please pray for our officers safety and don't trust everything you here in the media. I understand when they say black life's matter and I'm with. But may I give you a friendly reminder also. "Blue lives matter too! It's a pleasure standing side by side with these officers I call family. Chaplain Derrick..Version: 39.1
✓ AwesomeI love being in New Zealand and hearing my home town. Oddly enough makes me feel closer to home. I am disappointed in the lack of New Zealand content tho. Thumbs up!!.Version: 24.0
✓ Best AppBy far the best police scanner app. Love it.Version: 42.0
✓ God Bless our local law enforcementJust got this a few weeks ago while watching a TV show of that was beyond eye opening. I have nephew who serves always -on or off duty, while raising a family and more close friends that are from a ll walks of life. It's been a few years since i rode along with him on a few Saturday nights. The way it was on the show about Chicago cops, I just decided to listen to some feeds. This current unrest and false blame for police always being like the criminal. I pray for all police and feel much better listening to them keep on rocking in spite of the chaos. Great app as anyone can access anyplace - almost to be in touch with the never ending affirmative response ALWAYS from the patrol unit when asked to go to next call. We are blessed and need to THANK our police..Version: 39.1
✓ Please addPlease add Auckland, New Zealand to your station / feed list. Bought the pro version and it has no local stations for me..Version: 32.0
✓ I like itDoes what it says, use it to monitor bushfire radio..Version: 52.0
✓ 5-0 police scannerTop app guys love it even gets nz police channels.Version: 24.0
✓ Great Police Scanner AppGreat app as long as you can listen In your area. Where I used to live the police changed their frequencies so I couldn’t listen to my local police anymore. I just recently moved and now I can listen again. I like hearing whats going on in my area. I Also like listening to New York City and Long Island police being I was born there. You can go online to broadcasting witch has the same channels but the app is more convenient. You can also listen to some other countries witch is pretty cool..Version: 42.0
✓ Great, aside from an annoying audio glitchI find this app to be very useful, although when using it with Bluetooth audio devices, it sometimes doubles the audio, milliseconds apart, so it sounds like there's an echo. Stopping playback and starting it again fixes the issue until the next time the app is used..Version: 39.1
✓ Was great until qld police went digital.Loved the app for many years, Redcliffe/ Caboolture police went digital this year and the feed stopped. It was the no 1 listened to channel worldwide. Hopefully someone will spend the money to buy a digital scanner one day and get it going again..Version: 39.1
✓ Great app for knowing what’s happening near byWhen there’s annoying sirens going off, super bright spotlight beaming down from a helicopter above mimicking the holly light from Jesus I turn to this app to get the 411 on my block! Best part about having this app is I’m no longer peeking out of the window blinds, sleeping with one eye open or pretending to have ninja stealth techniques shadow hiding skills while I avoid the creaky areas crawling on all fours to go hide in the closet. This app has helped me regain lost hours of sleep. Highly recommend buying the pro version as well as getting security cameras on your home and motion lights 14 cameras and 8 lights in plenty on my tiny house that sleeps 7!.Version: 41.3
✓ Sick AppOne of the best apps I’ve ever used..Version: 51.0
✓ MarketingWorth the money for the bonus feed selection. Spent about 10 mins listening to police things before getting bored and thought I had wasted my time until I started exploring the mass of bonus genres what a bargain! Very happy now. Minor critisism would be that it occasionally quits but probably not a bad thing if you fall asleep while listening to it..Version: 0
✓ Great to listen toAwesome do try it..Version: 39.1
✓ LackingI wish it got my Regional Police band. I could hear who they are beating up in real time..Version: 50.0
✓ Offline FeedsI used to think this was a 5 star app however the only feed I listen too has gone offline for the past few days rendering this app useless. My research has shown me that these feeds actually come from volunteers who “feed” them to this app as well as all others so downloading a different app will not solve the problem. There is no feed directly from the source itself. I think you should be transparent about that upfront. Seems I wasted my money..Version: 46.0
✓ Great appHands down this is my favorite app by far on my phone. I listen to all the emergency traffic in my local area and I’ve also listen to the civil unrest throughout the country from coast to coast. I would’ve given it a five star rating if only I could freeze one specific traffic wheel, instead of switching from fire to state police and then to local police, if I if I could freeze it on just fire or my city police without it switching from one to the other as it scans would be great. Regardless though it’s an awesome App.Version: 46.0
✓ It’s greatHi thank you for a great app I say it’s the best its so handy when at fires thank you again David.Version: 46.0
✓ Does what it saysLimited number of feeds for where I am interested but that is the location not the software. Recommend the extra to get the pro version - no annoying adverts..Version: 42.0
✓ Great appThe uk emergency services use the tetra system and have all their transmissions encrypted, I believe in transparency with this sort of information but still any sensitive data could be encrypted with the touch of a button. Great hearing what's going on in other parts of the world though!.Version: 0
✓ Not bad at all.Great app, although it would be good to pick up more stuff from England as others have said. Just as an addition, it would be good to have a function to talk bk on the amature radio stations. The iPhone has a mic so i'm sure it's possible..Version: 0
✓ BIG PROBLEMThis app's started playing up. It keeps saying I have no Internet connection (despite the fact that everything else works fine on the Internet). It crashes every time I try to load a Favourite. I don't blame IOS4 because it worked fine after the update. Please get it sorted..Version: 0
✓ Love it!I've had 50 for a few years now. When I first got it I had an iPod and I'd turn it on when our volunteer fire whistle blew or when the police went flying by. I used it during last years flood to hear what was going on. I had a real scanner years ago and wanted to buy a new one but it was just more than I could afford. When it came time to up grade my phone I went with a smart phone instead if a flip phone just so I could have access to this app in my car. I listen to it instead of the radio , I line to know about wrecks up ahead and about crime going on in an area I might want to avoid. I've recommend it to many people..Version: 39.1
✓ ReviewAwesome app for those who just want to know what is happening.Version: 24.0
✓ Really Cool :PI completely agree with Jjj95, with every point made about this app. Amazing overall. Some drop outs but to be fair our internet here at home isn't exactly great for my app. Some quieter channels compared to some others, but generally very good and really insightful. Am a UK resident, and the UK ones work fine to me, didn't know they could be illegal to listen to so may be bit cautious around them ones but a really great app. Recommend Chicago Public Safety Sector :).Version: 0
✓ CoolCool app listen to the world as it r/evolves..Version: 39.1
✓ AmazingI find it interesting that you can listen in on live events on other side of the world.....amazing.Version: 40.0
✓ Great AppNo issues!.Version: 39.1
✓ Big FanBeen using app for a couple of years. Shame no Brisbane anymore and sometimes Gold Coast plays up. Apart from that good little investment to see what is going bump in the night..Version: 39.1
✓ Comprehensive coverageVery reliable covers most stations..Version: 50.0
✓ 5.0 ScannerIf you know the frequencies of the organizations you want to listen to, then a "real" scanner is for you. However, if you don't, then this is your best bet for finding out what is going on. My pet peeve is, it covers the railroad I want to monitor, but not the section I'm interested in. I live in the north; it just covers the south. I have to try to figure out if the trains I hear are coming my way. But, for local 911 and other civilian channels, it does a right fine job of keeping me informed. Either way, it's a worthwhile purchase..Version: 39.1
✓ AwsomeReally good but to answer one of the reviews about "more UK feeds would be nice" but the UK police feeds are incripted which means you can not listen to the UK police. The app is really really good but what is up with the LAPD feed? It's not on anymore. I love the LAPD and want to listen to there feed once again..Version: 24.0
✓ AwesomeAwesome app! Hours of fun ;.Version: 39.1
✓ Outstanding!Great app. Thanks.Version: 39.1
✓ Excellent RadioExcellent download. Highly recommended..Version: 24.0
✓ ScannerBrilliant little scanner this app is the best i’ve found and believe me i’ve tried quite a lot of these and this is the best by far, highly recommend..Version: 50.0
✓ Works well for me!I currently volunteer in EMS in rural NY. My pager and IaR only give the intial call-out. 5-0 allows me to follow my station and others from call-out back to available. We have it running in the background at the station. We know what is happening in our rural county and can anticipate potential mutual aid calls. I also listen once in awhile to previous locations I have lived in. Both urban and rural areas in NY, Michigan, and California. It has a 2 minute delay from the actual calls. I used the free app for awhile. I finally paid for the Pro version. Worth the cost..Version: 51.0
✓ Great AppA great app which I use a lot..Version: 39.1
✓ Great App...I listen to local only stations, but love knowing what the issues are in our town. My son-n-law is an officer and I can see trials and tribulations the officers incur day in day out. I am enjoying the EMS/Fire, Sheriff Dept. as well since they are all listed together. I wish I was able to identify immediately which dept. is broadcasting. I usually can determine from locations, but not always. It would be nice to select a single department only. The app has worked great and I have recommended it to friends. It is a great service to those who have an interest or need to listen to calls. Most of the time there are 24 + listeners..Version: 39.1
✓ GoodI enjoy using this app..Version: 42.0
✓ One of my most favorite apps!It's exciting to listen to all the action and a little scary and sad to know what's happening so close to home. BUT!!!... I would have to say, the best thing about this app is the added respect and love for law enforcement it has given me. What they go through each and every day is astonishing. Firstly, the patience that these guys have far exceeds anything you'll ever hear about in social media... The daily dangerous situations they are placed in (in order to protect us) makes me want to go up and hug every single one of them and personally thank them. These are some true heroes! Side note: I do sometimes hear of some really awful, hideous, almost unbearable situations these guys are called to respond to... If you are really sensitive to these scenarios then this might not be the app for you. I have shut it down a few times when I can feel myself losing hope in humanity. I guess as with most things, balance is the key..Version: 39.1
✓ Awesome.Very good. Does exactly what it says on the tin. One crit is that it would be great if you could have a search by letter for the feeds similar to the one in the contacts of the phone. Scrolling through thousands of feeds to get to the one you want gets a bit tiring after a while... Especially if it begins with X!.Version: 0
✓ Finally a scanner that works greatTried many but landed on this one, it always works, has masses of vlobal choice and great sound. Makes me completely happy, the interface is extremely user friendly. Great app..Version: 51.0
✓ 5-0 radioBest app ever !!!!!.Version: 41.4
✓ Great AppExcellent app, easy to use, clear signal..Version: 39.1
✓ GoodGood, easy to use app. Some channels are really clear to listen to but some can be distorted. Interesting listening to US police but would be great if we could get the UK police forces too. I know there on a digital link at the moment but surely there has to be a way around this? Anyway, overall, worth the download =).Version: 0
✓ Great appGreat app easy to use and very entertaining. Only wish it hade Australian Police and aircraft frequencies on it but it fun listening to other countries police and fire. Highly rate and recommend this app..Version: 51.0
✓ So coolWe love it ..... It needs Dandenong police.Version: 39.1
✓ 5-0 radioAwesome app!.Version: 24.0
✓ What I like…Just saying that I love this application is it's widespread ability to bring events to my attention like the Buffalo shooting it was both interesting and so sad but to hear it live as the police are responding is absolutely amazing. It hasn't been that long ago that we didn't have the ability to follow unfolding events in the same way that we can today. Thank you for the application and the effort that was expended in making it great.Version: 51.0
✓ ReviewAs an Emergency Services person, I use this app a lot to be aware of what is occurring. Have used it for years, and would miss it if it were to disappear..Version: 46.0
✓ App does what it is supposed to do.My issue is with the people broadcasting the live feeds. Whenever there is an actual emergency the live feeds are cut and that endangers many people because there is no live information or raw data coming to them and informed decisions cannot be made putting people and entire families at a higher risk of danger or becoming victims. This isn’t as bad of a problem for those people living in a covered area that does not have radio transmission that are encrypted and denied the public’s ear. Been using this app for years and it was awesome when the broadcasts were not encrypted. I did spring for the pay version too. No regrets there..Version: 50.0
✓ BrillBrill app use it all the time.Version: 43.0
✓ 5.0 radio proWorks great for GTA Canada.Version: 46.0
✓ Awesome appOne of the best Radio Apps around. Has come in handy so many times. Only bug is that it can have a bit of an echo when starting up. Just have to stop and press play again to get rid of it.Version: 39.1
✓ Version 22.0 problem !I have recently upgraded to the 22.0 version of 5-0 Radio Pro Police Scanner, and find that when i select a station to listen to, i can't revert back to the main menu for some reason to listen to a different station. So i have to shut down the app and restart it again, this is very annoying and did not happen until i uploaded to version 22.0. I have given this app 5 stars because when i first bought this app everything was fine and trust me you will have hours of listening pleasure. I just hope a bug fix will be released soon in another software update soooon ! Regards Simon.Version: 22.0
✓ PoliceIt very good in the uk I can heir you very very wall. I like to hear what u are up to. I just like to hear what the police cat up to hoppy new year to all I am Janet and I like any think to do with radios. I am 61yrs old I am a radio ham in the uk love to u all. Love janet.Version: 39.1
✓ YesGreat.Version: 52.0
✓ Greatest scanner AppI found this app a good few years ago, I listen daily. Easy to use long list of stations to choose from could do with more British stations but overall it’s the best by far..Version: 46.0
✓ SweetYea sweet as.Version: 0
✓ Won’t play local fire departments on pro version but does on the free app?!I’m not sure if there is a glitch or what but I decided to download the pro version after having the free version for years. My sons are firefighters so listen to the scanner quite often. When I downloaded the pro app, I can hear the dispatch of fire runs but not the trucks responding or on scene etc. I’m thinking it’s a glitch. I deleted it and redownloaded it but I’m still having the issue..Version: 42.0
✓ Addicted Kitchen ListenerUK listener here, for the past year my go-to is Detroit PD, and having the app with no distractions or adverts is awesome. It is also very stable. Best app I ever bought. Thank you..Version: 52.0
✓ Awesome!Great APP. I love it. I’ve owned it for years and I’ve gotten so much enjoyment out of it that I purchased the pro version. It has so many different police and emergency stations. It lists all the codes and the definitions for each and every code. All stations are different so it has the name for every station and the meaning of the codes for each one. Great APP and I would highly recommend!.Version: 42.0
✓ HairybeetlebonnetBritish police cannot be scanned WHY ARE PEOPLE ASKING FOR THIS ? Great app for U.S stuff ....kind of pointless having a British section as they work on an encrypted digital comms network....ie....they cant be scanned. Good to hear U.S bobbies attending the same jobs as British bobbies, seems like they get freed up quicker with less paperwork though..Version: 24.0
✓ Blanche161Excellent scanner love listening to Chicago police, New Zealand love the place.Version: 24.0
✓ It’s amazingBeen using this app for a couple months now. I can listen to the police activity in all major cities and even a lot of the smaller ones. Very well put together. I tried watching the news while a mass shooting was occurring and just couldn’t stand hearing the blood hungry media babbling away. Funny thing is that FB could get it better than them. Anyways I flip on the scanner to that city and bam, I am getting live updates straight from the police. The media? A joke. This? Straight talk from law enforcement themselves. 20 years ago I was listening to a local scanner, now I can listen to the exact Police Department that is investigating a burglary at one of the jobs sites my employer protects with visual monitoring. I can check the scanner 20, 40, 100 miles away. Pay the few bucks and get the pro..Version: 40.0
✓ 5-0 radio app reviewLove this app, keeps us in the local loop of things you don’t hear in the news..Version: 41.3
✓ A good app!I'm in the UK and anyone that got this app will be disappointed that there are no UK emergency service. You shouldn't be disappointed, all UK emergency services are encrypted so you can't listen to them regardless and there is no legal way that you can.....period! This is a good app. US public and emergency services are brilliant and the paid app gives you so many more streams to pick from. This is by far, one of the better iPhone apps. The free one is good and the paid one is better. Incidentally, the UK streams are mainly VHF ham radio, and yes, you are legally allowed to listen to them....and for a lapsed radio ham like me, they are nice to listen too.Version: 0
✓ Limited coveragePoor reception. Limited USA cover..no Chicago and other cities no longer covered. Totally useless now,.Version: 50.0
✓ Gets the job done!I am a mail in my early 50s and have listened to scanners since the 1970s. This application does get the job done effectively. It should be noted that this application is a bit heavy on battery charge. There are many choices from which to select, literally hundreds if not more. However, if you intend to listen to activity from foreign locations outside of the United States, please note the reception is extremely weak and spotty. Also, you may not find your local law enforcement on this app but there are many others from which to choose. I've tried several other scanner applications and find this one the best that is currently available as of September 2016. Happy scanning!.Version: 39.1
✓ Great AppClear comms. Ads are pretty annoying for the free version but the paid is a cheap cost for hours of uninterrupted listening..Version: 51.0
✓ Real time informationWe live in a fire risk area and this app allows real time monitoring of emergency services. Great asset. Thanks..Version: 51.0
✓ Nice app works well. but not free of bugsYes I even paid for the app. Not sorry I did! It sometimes locks up etc. But...the fix is easy and quick, restart the app. Hours of fun (if you are like me and enjoy this kinda thing) Lotsa net music -free listening. I use my dongle and my trusty over-the-ear headphones(decent ones, not junky...cans) and the music is, quite enjoyable. Worth the coin? I think so. If your not sure about paying for the app try it out free, you just have to endure the advertising. JwA.Version: 46.0
✓ Becoming less useful.This app while good has had a lot of my favourite stations drop off in the recent past. I think a lot of this has to do with stations going digital from analogue. I now only use it to listen to just one channel whereas in past I had three or four favourites. I am fearing that my local police and fire will be headed in the same direction in the next year and my need for 5-0 radio will be gone..Version: 45.0
✓ I used to love this appI’m not sure exactly when this happened or if it’s even the app’s fault. I live in San Diego, and for some reason SD Police Dispatch feed and the SD Fire-Rescue feed have not worked for somewhere around a year. Perhaps it’s a bug that needs to be looked at, or SD does not want people listening in. The Lindbergh Field feed, Chula Vista, and other relatively nearby feeds work, the two I would like to listen to most often, don’t. I will keep checking. In case trouble shooters check this, I’m using an iPhone X..Version: 41.3
✓ Police radioVery easy to use and interesting listening to the mayhem the police have to deal with.Version: 40.0
✓ Thanks for the appThis is the best app it keeps you aware of what is happening and I always keep my eyes open when stuff is happening thank you for this app.Version: 42.0
✓ Great AppAwesome app. Never failed me like the others. More stations please..Version: 23.0
✓ Outstanding!This is a must! I bought it to listen to police radio but couldn't believe just how much music of all tastes is available at your fingertips. Fantastic value. Thank you.Version: 0
✓ Great scanner AppCould you please add Cairo Police Dept in Cairo, GA and Grady County Sheriff's Office. They were under Grady Co Public Safety but that selection has stopped working. Thanks! Keep up the great work! My dad and my husband are both police officers. I have not been able to listen to them on my scanner anymore since they swapped over to digital. I could not afford the new scanners. Now I can listen to them all the time with this app. It has an approximately 45 second lag behind the actual radios but it is loud and clear. I love it!!!.Version: 39.1
✓ My fav app!Love the old radio plays and the selection on this app is great. Wish it was Apple Watch compatable.Version: 41.4
✓ Awesome appFun little app for those sticky beaks like myself who need to know what is going on. Would be better if it had more Brisbane frequencies..Version: 39.1
✓ Great appGreat app listen to daily and when I sleep.. luckily one of the police feeds is in city I live.. bonus music feeds the greatest.. try xrds clarksdale miss for example.. should have given five stars but needs more feeds (which may be, on my part, unfair to say because I don’t know the logistics of getting feeds.. ) Maybe generalization of music types too ie. big band, swing, punk... All around though well worth the $$ for pro version.. keep up the good work...Version: 41.3
✓ Police Scanner RadioOn my older iPod nothing seems to work very well almost no stations connect. Newer iPhone XR the Scanner is great and the radio stations have gotten better for connecting. The odd thing sometimes you want to listen to a progressive rock station and it’s New Age music so that’s interesting a lot of radio stations do not connect but there is a lot to choose from… the scanner is awesome otherwise I would have given it 5 stars!.Version: 51.0
✓ Great AppI have tried other police scanner apps in the past. I have used this one for years. Now I do have a Uniden police scanner. I will still use this when I'm outside working around the house. Just a reminder these scanner feeds are provided by volunteers. So when a feed goes off line it’s not the app’s fault. It’s a provider who is having equipment issues. Also more cities are shutting down their police and fire transmissions so know one can hear them. That’s why the only way that you can hear the Chicago zones is on an extended online delay. You can thank Mayor Beetlejuice for that. And she can edit out anything she doesn’t want the public to hear.Version: 52.0
✓ 5.0 radio pro reviewI never rate anything five star but as far as police radio apps go this is pretty much on the money. The reception sometimes is a little hit and miss but it depends on where you are. I bought the pro version as I was sick of the adds . Am very happy now I don't have the interruption of the adds . Hopefully it will never ask me to rate it again or I will have to charge them money for my time.Version: 39.1
✓ God I've missed listening to a scanner!!Brilliant App!! Fast and simple to use love the map feature too!! And lil message to others... I'm afraid I can't see you ever being able to listen to uk police again as they are on a mobile style system called airwave!! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!! :(.Version: 0
✓ Lost local stationWhat happened to my local station NSW Sierra for the south coast loved listening to it and now gone please explain why Thanks.Version: 39.1
✓ SnaggieQuite a useful app It could be even more useful if it had a ‘cast’ to a Chromecast Audio device option. I would then use it almost 24/7. If a similar app provides this option in the meantime, I will immediately switch to it..Version: 42.0
✓ Very goodSome of the other reviews on this say negative things but I don't see anything bad about this, it's user friendly, most feeds work and doesn't disappoint the people that dislike it at least give a reason thanks.Version: 24.0
✓ Great App to listen inCan be fun listening in to what’s happening in your neighborhood with the 5-0, fire dept, or paramedics. Unfortunately the regional police dept where I live (Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada) doesn’t seem to come in at all anymore for some reason, but it used to no problem. All the OPP channels seem to work just fine..Version: 51.0
✓ The bestI’ve used this app for years and years and I adore it. When you want to hear the scanner you want your feed fast. I can open this app and my local feed is right there and I’m listening in seconds. Last December I woke up after a night shift to a sky filled with smoke. In seconds I had the scanner on, knew that there was something called the Marshall Fire and that we were going to be evacuated. This allowed me to gather kids and pets and have some extra time before the evacuation order came. We ended up losing our house so this extra time was truly priceless..Version: 52.0
✓ Best scanner app there is!!This is excellent and by far the best scanner app around. For everyone moaning about no UK channels - tough, deal with it!! I'm a UK dispatcher and UK emergency services now use the secure Airwaves system which can't be scanned so tough luck, it simply isn't gonna happen people! Just enjoy the US channels like I do..Version: 0
✓ Awesome appAwesome app.Version: 24.0
✓ Doesn’t have my exact area yet but it’s still greatThis app seems to have the same coverage other ones do, and the audio transmissions are clear. Unlike others, they aren’t greedy and don’t charge you monthly. One charge up front, no ads, fast customer service if you contact them for anything. All these scanners get their feeds from volunteer area citizens with physical scanners willing to share. So don’t blame the app if yours isn’t covered yet. It just means no one in your area has a physical scanner, or isn’t willing to share it publicly..Version: 45.0
✓ Good but..It’s very goos but can you add RCMP channels please.Version: 42.0
✓ PerfectI am a volunteer firefighter and is good to keep aware of what it happening around me.Version: 39.1
✓ Here’s the best advice everDiscipline yourself to stay aware of News Alerts on your phone... then when you hear there is something significantly interesting (active shooter / plane crash / terrorism , etc) then flip on your 5-0 Radio app faster than a millennial would whip out their camera app during a Trump supporter encounter. Check your Top 100 feed, look for the highest hit count, and you’ll hear that saga unfold in real time. If the highest hit count = Chicago PD it’s a normal day. What’s really fun is sitting in a shopping center parking lot with your 5-0 app bluetoothed up to your car radio and sit there with sunglasses while people watching. They hear the police radio and think your undercover... hilarity ensues. Get the paid for version to avoid the distraction and enjoy this awesome app!.Version: 41.3
✓ So happy it’s back !I love to listen to , what’s going on in my city. I love that it’s back , it was gone for awhile , and by accident my daughters friend , had it on , when he visited her 2 weeks ago. My daughter called me right away , and said “Mom ! I have the best news for you , your going to be so happy” Then she told me . Oh my I was so happy . I am 71 , and it not only interesting to listen too, but it helps pass the time and goes so fast. Please don’t ever leave again. I think in my past life , I might have been involved with the law , or being a paramedic. 😂 Keep up the good wok , if I could rate you at a 10 I would . Thank you to you all , and the work you do to help and to keep us safe . 👍👏👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️.Version: 52.0
✓ Almost goodI do love the layout of this app , I like the feeds etc. What I have found however , that more than other scanner apps , this uses huge amounts of ram memory and after four or five feeds , the app crashes due to insufficient available memory. Shame that cos I think this is a nice looking and usable app ..Version: 24.0

✓ Great AppVery useful in our recent bushfire emergency.Version: 42.0
✓ AmazingThis is a must have app. you can tune in to thousands of radio feeds from all over the world - music ( listed by genre ) emergancy and police feeds ....if its on the radio you can listen live with this app. I'm addicted and you will be. Amazing app and the full version is only £1.19 buy it now !.Version: 0
✓ Superb!!!As we can't listen in the UK this app is fantastic. I listen when I'm about to crash out in bed and with the time difference it fits perfect. I heard some mental stuff happening in the US and later seen the report on TV. there us not really much between the free & pay version though. I got the paid version, but don't use the extras..Version: 0
✓ Finally fixed after years!This app was broken for years. I had all but given up thinking it would ever be fixed. So glad it is finally fixed! Works great again on my custom streams. Thank you for making it usable again! Nice..Version: 60.0
✓ Good appOk here on fire listening but the police have gone to scrambling in Victoria Australia.Version: 46.0
✓ As it Says On The tinI would have liked to have heard UK police but never mind it still is Wow. I go for as many listeners as is possible..Version: 52.0
✓ Great ScannerVery good scanner coverage. It’s a shame Chicago channel is no longer broadcasting like it used to..Version: 50.0
✓ Very useful I love it!Last year I lived in a small town, about 2,000 ppl, there was a shooting down my street and I wouldn’t known as fast what was going on if it wasn’t for 5-0 radio! Only complaint is that the feed stops the OS time I have to reboot the app, no big deal, not sure if it’s the app of iPhone software :p.Version: 41.4
✓ OUTSTANDING!Remember 30 years ago having to buy 'crystals' for your 4-channel hand held, or the 10-channel desk model that were pre-set to various PD frequencies? LOL ! Those days have long passed, and what's great, the available phone apps that brings you all the action from around the world! This app is satisfying in every way. No more buying high dollar scanners when this App turns your phone into a multi-state, multi-city, multi-agency scanner! You will NOT be disappointed!.Version: 39.1
✓ Good appGood app, worth the money for the extra features such as sleep mode. PLEASE make a dark mode.Version: 42.0
✓ Great AppWhy is everyone from the uk complaining about not being able to listen to UK Police - this is due to the UK Police moving onto to Tetra, which is a "log-on" type system - the authorities in the UK DO NOT WANT the general public listening to their transmissions - why complain about this app because of the UK Governments rules?? Deal with it - listen to the US Police - this App for your entertainment and is pretty good as far as i'm concerned... I've been using it for nearly 3 years and I LIKE IT and I'M from the UK....Version: 24.0
✓ Very Pleased!I am not a professional reviewer, I am just someone who tries to find the best apps that my interests suggest. I downloaded this app a few days ago and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I owned a scanner years ago that was stolen and since then I really wanted a replacement for it. I finally found it in this app. Not only does this app provide some of the biggest departments in the country but it also allows me to listen to my hometown departments. That is no small feat considering my town has only about 4000 residents! There has been no loading issues no glitches, nothing has been out of what I hoped for. I definitely give this app 5 stars!!!.Version: 39.1
✓ ApptWould like to tell you how impressed I was with this app and when i upgraded to pro was even happier when I found all the streaming online stations includeibg a few pirate radio stations whith my kind of music you have madey year 10/10 for the best music/radio/d. Thank you from Webby woo woo.Version: 0

✓ GreatGreat.Version: 50.0
✓ Top appThis is a must app during bushfire time around Australia..Version: 39.1
✓ High speed chase.I’ve been using this app for about 3 years. The other day on my way home from work at 1:00am, I noticed several police heading east on hwy 94 in hudson Wisconsin. So I tuned on the app. Turns out they were on a high speed chase that started in Minnesota. I was entertained all the way home. The chase ended with out any one getting hurt and the drive was apprehended. It sure was fun to listen too and how professional the police were working together at the same time from 2 different states. I recommend this app..Version: 41.2
✓ I LOVE 5-0 Radio ProI was introduced to this app a few months ago after using other scanner apps. This one is perfect. The quality of the feeds are great, and the extra features are an added bonus. I recommend people upgrade to the pro version, as it has so much more to offer, like more feeds, custom skins and the ability to record dispatches. This app is extremely helpful in knowing what calls my department is on and what ones the surrounding departments are on. Having all this information at my fingertips has been very helpful in informing the people I know around me on what is happening. 🚒🚨.Version: 39.1
✓ The best police scannerIt’s the best police scanner pro Had for years now easy to use.Version: 41.4
✓ Does what it says on the tin.Good App to hear US police Radio chatter. but UJ Police chatter is not on ANY app or web site as to protect local stuff going on, UK police don't want to to hear what's going on down at your local so you can nip down for a snoop! All in all it's has lots of good stations to hear. it's worth the price..Version: 0
✓ A great App!Addictive, interesting and relaxing. Really good to listen to in the car..Version: 39.1
✓ Brilliant app!I'm hooked! Shame there's not a UK version for the police, they changed the frequency a few years ago so couldn't listen anymore! This is the next best thing though, Chicago police are just none stop! Brilliant app, would have 5 stars if it had the UK police scanner, even though I'm sure it's illegal here haha oh well :).Version: 31.3
✓ It has improved.The local county and city channels are grouped together so when listening it jumps back and forth making it difficult to track sometimes. There used to be a lot of white noise, but it sounds much better now. This app has improved considerably over the years. This is still my default for listening to local communications. I would recommend this app to get a basic idea of what’s going on in your neighborhood. You may not get the TAC channels, but great info for your personal piece of mind..Version: 46.0
✓ FascinatingListening to radio from many parts of the world is fascinating. I look forward to more being added!.Version: 24.0
✓ 5-0 Radio Pro Police ScannerI use this great app for listening to further information on CFA D8 comms when I don't have access to a portable..Version: 39.1
✓ Very goodIt is a very good app: +loads of police & emergency stations [mainly from USA] +even more good quality music Internet stations + record function + favourites function + skin customisation etc - has lagged out some times and crashed - emergency services are bit muffled but not apps fault [I think] ☆FYI as some other reviews say UK police radio is illegal and realistically impossible to listen in on because of the TETRA digital encryption, so read what the reviews say before buying and complaining about it! Overall great app :).Version: 0
✓ 5.0 raidoCool as.Version: 24.0
✓ Great appI’ve had this for a few years and was disappointed when I found out they didn’t have my local PD in their stations but today I just found that they do have Edmonton Police on it. Spend over an hour and a half listening. It didn’t crash or anything. I love listening to stuff listening around my city and around the world. GET IT if you’re looking for something to listen to..Version: 41.4
✓ Loved the free version, problem with pro versionWhen I used the free 5-0 radio app, it was listed in my cellular list on my iPhone so I could turn the cellular on to listen away from home when not on WiFi. But now that I paid for the pro version, it is no longer in the list and I can’t figure out how to turn in cellular for the app. Seems I have to be in WiFi to use it which doesn’t help me when I’m away from home. I really like the app, but if I can only use it in my house it’s not much help..Version: 50.0
