Ratings and reviews

4 stars because it works. Two other scanner apps I installed would not work. This app could be better by having the option to sort feeds by name as well as distance. Also, the distances are incorrect. The feeds in and around my town are shown as being about 12 miles away, while towns 10 or more miles away are shown as being closest to me. There is no feed shown with a distance of less than 6 miles away, so there is definitely a problem with distances. A separate tab for favorites would be nice.

This is the best of the best scanner apps, I absolutely love it. Very good clarity in tone and volume. Very easy to navigate through locations! much better then my 500 dollar digital scanner (and that was 17 years ago) that is sitting on a shelf, un-usable. I hadn'd realized how much I missed having a scanner running 24-7 in the back round or hanging on my neck (I'm kinda a big fellow). Thank You for the app.

Far better than the last 2 I've tried. Lighter on the phone. Meaning it doesn't slow down my dinosaur of a phone that only has 4gb internal memory and is completely full from just the system files that came preinstalled on the phone, and is like 10+ years old. It doesn't drain the battery as fast as the last two. And is fast and easy to find a local Police band. I would like to see the ability for it to auto change the station as you travel from one county to the next. Switching as soon as you cross the county line. It would come in super handy for people who drive for a living. Another Feature I would like to see is an auto translator, so when they start talking in their code talk it speech-to-text the conversation into plain English and whatever languages it supports.
