Good appThis is a good app should have more radios in uk.Version: 8.6

Adds so many addsI just don’t think candy crush adds should play right when you try to use an emergency app. That’s honest not cool. If you want an emergency app that’s not going to play adds multiple times before you can hear the scanner or use the app at all, than don’t buy this. Honestly just don’t download it at all. Nothing but adds and wasting time every single time no matter what when you try to open it just adds adds adds! Don’t down load it’s nothing but adds not even one star. Literally nothing but adds. Just stop with the adds I’m uninstalling this and I hate you! You made me late to hearing about a loved one dying in an accident!.Version: 8.0

BufferingBuffers too much..Version: 9.0.9

Doesn’t work anymoreScanner does not work any more, spams me with ads constantly. Avoid this garbage app!.Version: 8.6

RjWhat happened to the nz channels?? What few there were have disappeared. Very weird!!!.Version: 2.3

RipperWell I have to say where is the new Zealand scanner stations. Come on!!! But I do like the radio Especially the heavy metal stations.f........Awesome..Version: 4.0

Great app but the ads are the worstThere are WAY too many ads. I get that those of us who don’t want to pay for or can’t afford a monthly subscription have to suffer through ads, but there are too many. - Some ads are hard to click out of. Waiting to see the X to close it after the ad is done can take a while. In some cases I have not seen it at all and have had to close out of the app. - Many of the ads are long. Too long..Version: 9.0.10

PoliceIt’s supposed to be a police scanner but not police Chanel for NSW or Victoria (Australia).Version: 8.3

Police scannerIt’s great for my small town but where I am from only offers public works. And it’s a fairly large city, one of the top 3 largest in my state. For some reason during severe weather it does not work at all. This has happened twice recently during tornado warnings. But for free it’s great especially since the Ems and fire station are almost next door to me. Recently has become very staticky. I can tell most listeners have left this sight.Version: 8.5

Maybe needs a bug fixThis app was working fantastically up until one week ago...now it automatically logs you out after 30 mins or so....possibly needs a bug fix update?????.Version: 7.0

Downloaded app just to leave reviewI bet most, if not all of you complaining about this app are in the UK? Years ago you could pick the police up on a normal fm radio but only one side of the conversation and then beeps in between. With a scanner, you could get both sides of conversations. Sadly, I can tell you that English police radio frequencies were scrambled (encrypted) over 20 years ago to stop 'ambulance chasers' etc...so there is no hope of picking them up with this app and it should state that's its non UK. I know this because at the time I owned a scanner and several of us would listen in at night and go off on our adventures... ambulance/fire or police chasing. There was quite a following amongst us as we used CB radio too to relay information. (We were youngish!) The police forces scrambled their frequencies one at a time so we could move area or put a bigger aerial up and change areas until they'd all gone and all we had left was parking up at East Midlands airport like the bobble hatters and listening to pilots.... Yawn! Sorry folks. I don't know about radio stations but you certainly won't get the police in England 😟 This app should state this clearly!.Version: 3.0

BullDoesn’t work.Version: 8.3

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..Version: 8.9

Awful with the ads.Once apron a time this app was great. Now way too,any adds and. Less. Product..Version: 8.9

Crashing nowRidiculous!! Not only shows lots of adverts, but jumps right over to itunes store and will not allow you to change channels before it jumps off on its own. This was a great app for listening to various radio stations all over the world, but, after last OS upgrade, it keeps crashing - please fix 😄 Why is Apple allowing apps to have this power? It is not only annoying, but is in breach of proper business etiquette, we, the users of these apps, should be allowed to choose whether we want to view the advertised app, not have it FORCED in front of us in a rapid fire manner, not allowing us the chance to pause our music because it jumps straight over to itunes before any buttons can be pressed. Please fix this, I have paid for the other obe, but it now crashes constantly, so no other options but to try another app 😡.Version: 6.6

Not sure why?Rarely connects it used to work fine🤷‍♂️ always loading...I miss it..Version: 8.7

Steams audio from broadcastifyThe app seems to work, and it allows some customization and control over freely available audio streams from broadcastify. You can go to the broadcastify website and open the live streams without this app, however, so the core function of the app is nothing unique. I would be more comfortable streaming through the website since the app collects identifiers used to track you..Version: 9.0.9

Locations.Why is NZ not on there.Version: 3.0

BrokenScanner isn’t working look like a server fault..Version: 9.0.2

LimitedMostly US stations nothing for Australia.Version: 8.9

Nice... but.....I'm a fan - in Australia and get plenty of streams however if someone could tap into Sydney Police channels then that would be awesome. Couple of other small things - when a stream is stopped and you go back to the main menu the stopped stream still appears under Now Playing - this is a bit confusing. Also, and don't know whether this is just coincidence, but with the other recommended scanner app installed (5-0 scanner or whatever it was called) I had to exit to stop a feed from playing then re-enter the app cause no matter how many times I pressed the centre stop button the stream continued to play. Other than those minor complaints - have fun folks!!.Version: 6.4

SuxYou want a review This app sux Every time I try to open the scanner close by I go to country then province the city then scanner and the whole app shuts down I can play a crappy radio station though But I have an app than I can play any radio station so your app sux as far as that goes too.Version: 8.4

DisparitionPlusieurs scanners ont disparu avec le temps surtout au Québec! Dommage.Version: 8.2

I'm sorry I'm not going to be able to keep the police scannerI'm not trying to be a bad guy bu knocking down the police scanner app and it's a lot better than the other one I had on my phone and I decided to get this one because it's easier and features more then my older one dud display is nicer also I don't know why when I looked up for free police scanner's it was in my list of all my free apps and I don't care what you do or say I checked it all out and I didn't see anything or find anything anywhere at all telling me to pay for it anywhere's I'm not going to pay for something that I'm downloading for free i want to use so i got it looking for my place to listen to on my police scanner app and I can't get my list to open or work right lol I think closed my police scanner app and then I got to see what was wrong with it all a sudden I got a free box and then I'm looking at the same thing with free in it bow turned out it's four dollars and some cents that's fine I'm not getting it.Version: 9.0.9

Expansion neededGreat app. Could be very effective should the creator expand the police scanners. Especially In the uk. A lot of potential for aggressive expansion, add this to what has already been done and you have an excellent app here..Version: 4.8

Not worth getting if you’re in the UKIf you’re looking to scan the police in the UK it won’t work through a phone unless you use a DMR (digital mobile radio) which aren’t illegal to purchase but are illegal without a license..Version: 7.0

Police scannerGood App but need to have history to remember favourites etc. still good App just needs a bit of polishing !.Version: 7.0

Doesn’t have digital police radioDoesn’t work with new digital police radios needs to be updated.Version: 8.9

Could b interesting......but?I live in the UK but not in Kent Wiltshire or Essex but in the midlands, Northampton to b exact so I’ll keep the app for now and wait for an update. Doesn’t deserve any stars I’m feeling left out!☹️ Oh ok I’m being forced to give it one star under protest!!!.Version: 7.0

NZ useDownloaded this app to use in New Zealand and it worked for a while but now the NZ channels have gone.....bring them back or the app is gone :(.Version: 2.3

Ads take priority over emergenciesToo many Ads in this App! The Ads pop up and even play music while you are trying to listen to a scanner emergency call. For example, I was listening to a fire dept. dispatch call to a nursing home which my mother happens to be at, then all of a sudden this App started playing some music and showing an Ad on top of the scanner call and I could no longer hear the scanner call. What is the point? It use to be an ok App years ago, but now it’s junk like so many other Ad supported Apps..Version: 8.6

User review in briefCovers majority of Australia but not Northern Territory or regions of Tasmania.Version: 8.1

So soNothing good for Québec , Canada.Version: 8.7

Not enough police stationsLondon Ontario Canada no police channel.Version: 8.6

Police scannerWant my refund it’s useless to me.Version: 8.2

It needs moreIt’s good but it needs Surrey bc Canada please make an updated version of this app then I will definitely rate this a 5 star.Version: 7.0

Don't do it.Wouldn't even list my city or surrounding areas..Version: 8.2

Lacks detailI have found this App cumbersome and hard to use. I cannot find the frequencies and services I want to monitor. They are mentioned generally - but when I try to monitor them, I am presented with other “stuff” from other countries. Annoyingly, promo info for the Pro-App also does NOT indicate if I will be able to monitor after purchase either. This developer should tell their customers what bang we get for our $8 bucks. It satisfied at all..Version: 9.0.10

Was good until ads got intrusiveI used to like this app but recently the ads became very intrusive. Now the ads pop up every time you put the app in the background to check something else on your phone and come back. Many times the ads are missing the x to close them so I can’t figure out how to get them off the screen to do ANYTHING with the police scanner app until I force close the app and start it again. So basically this app is becoming useless since who wants to keep getting interrupted in the middle of listening to a broadcast?.Version: 8.7

ScannerPretty good scanner but more nz channels needed!.Version: 2.3

Bugs and perpetual full screen ads-When given access to my Location the app cannot find any scanners in my area-one of the largest, most populous, major metropolitan cities in the U.S. Scanners close to me, are retrievable only by working thru the menu, State>County> City etc etc. -Popup ad obliterates the entire screen and will not dismiss. The links in the ad are dead and selecting one of them does nothing to dismiss the ad, so, the user is locked out of the app. Update: downloaded another scanner app, Police5-0 and while it too has popupads, they easily dismiss and are not nearly as intrusive. They also don't make the app freeze!.Version: 7.0

SpaceThis app is dead.Version: 8.3

Warrnambool scannerWhat happened to Warrnambool police feed. I no longer can here them..Version: 7.0

No Scotland scannerI was disappointed to pay £3.99 and only have few English channels I would love to hear some Scottish channels aswell.Version: 8.0

Ads!!Painful to use app with the frequent disruptive ads..Version: 9.0.9

ScannersGood app but needs more nz channels.Version: 2.3

Ads ruined this AppI have used this app for years. The ads now screw up the radio so badly I’m uninstalling it and moving on. Ads play forever then the radio stops and the App Store opens and then another ad plays. It’s ridiculous..Version: 8.9

Interesting to listenCool app. Interesting to listen to what’s going on around you..Version: 8.2

Interesting entertainment, plus has TONS of music stationsHappened 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..Version: 7.0

Too many ads!App works well but but ads seem to take it over, stopping its operation and requiring constant restarts! I’d be happy to pay for this to avoid the ads!.Version: 9.0.9

Used to be good, now unusableThe continual increase in ads and intentionally frustrating placement have made it unusable. 30 second ads right when you start to play a feed without the ability to skip at all is so frustrating when you want to listen to what’s going on RIGHT now. Additionally, you can tell their 4+ star average rating is falsely inflated because of the frequent references to streaming music and non-radio traffic audio. Obviously paid reviews from people who didn’t even care to read more than a sentence of what the app is supposed to do..Version: 8.9

YupYip.Version: 2.2

DisappointedThe adds load great, but not the app. Waste of time..Version: 9.0

Great for curiosityI really like this because it has a load of channels and the audio is pretty clear considering that some stations are AM. Would be better if I could put in my own call sign and have an ATC section and I kinda like planes. But overall a great app for curiosity and to hear stuff from around the world..Version: 6.4

Not impressed anymore!!I loved this app at first ! Even purchased the Pro Version! Now my city " mysteriously " disappears off the list , both the free version & the Pro?! What kind of scam is this?! I'll give you 10 stars-put my city back!! Otherwise it's gets 1 star. Maybe it can be added back?.Version: 8.1

It's okIt's not bad. For the people that say about the lack of UK scanners, this is probably because the UK police, fire etc use digital radios so you can't listen in as easily as you used to be able to do.Version: 3.0

Police scannerUseless in NZ..Version: 2.3

Operation problemsSometimes the application will dropout, weather using wifi or darts allowance, it just stops working, someone needs to make it more reliable, but otherwise it works well..Version: 9.0.9

Blank blank blankAll I hear is hissssssssssssssssssssss lol.Version: 7.0

Should just be called Fire AppI have downloaded quite a few Police and Fire apps and all I get in Australia is Fire scanners the Police ones don't work. If they did I wouldnt have 4 police apps just trying to find one that works.Version: 8.2

Police missing :(Where did all the police channels go???? All i can see n get is cfa n mfb.Version: 7.0

NipissingIt never seems work.Version: 8.3

GoodDoes not have as maney channels as I expected but the ones that are there are really good.Version: 8.3

ReviewDisappointed as now they are playing adds over the actual top of the emergency services speaking. This is so wrong. Going to switch to another scanner app that does not play adds..Version: 9.0.9

No ElectricityThe app is: Free police scanner, about a month and a half ago, a storm took out our electricity for three days. I enjoy listening to our local police, fire and rescue on the police scanner. But, when our electricity went out, so did the emergency departments! Now that all out electricity is on now, I can’t enjoy it because it says that the city/county emergency departments are “off line”! Our city/county is Campbellsville/Taylor County, Kentucky! Can you put them back on-line?.Version: 9.0.9

ReviewGood app, easy to use, but could you add more stations for Saskatchewan please? Thanks..Version: 8.1

It’s ok, but....The app is ok for what it is. However, I wish it were more of a scanner and would really scan. As it is, you pick a channel to listen to and that’s it, but while you’re listening to that one something may happen on the other one you’re not listening to right now. On a real scanner, it scans all channels programmed into it. As it scans all the channels programmed wherever the action is is where it goes to so you don’t miss it. So while one may be silent the next one may have a call and it’ll automatically go to whichever one picks up traffic first..Version: 7.0
