It's difficult bypassing all the payment options to get to the 'free' part. Nonstop ads. I wanted to listen to police scanners, not much going on at all, I tried the popular locations. I closed the app and immediately got a notification alert about something happening (not my state). I'm not the least bit interested in receiving notifications, can't find any option to remove that nonsense. Uninstalled

Hi, sorry about this inconvenience. Could you please go to the Setting- Breaking News Alerts? There you can choose to only accept notification from your nearby scanners or from scanners you added to your favorite. For more info, please feel free to reach us at contact@policescanner.us. Thank you very much for your kind support! :-) - Augusta

The main thing I like about this app is the emergency/Breaking notifications from all over the country. Also, when possible you can find the HAM bands in the description of your stream, I thought that was pretty cool for us hams/preps. The audio is good quality, the stream has a small delay, so when you hear a key in it happened 40 seconds to a minute before hand. But that is to be expected when streaming a radio freq on to the web. EDIT Also, the adds are not super intrusive.

I downloaded the app and, within the same day, deleted it and canceled the subscription (there was a blurb at the time stating there was a free trial, roughly 3 days or so). Checked my bank account today, and I was charged for a yearly subscription. This was 2 days ago. The app may work fine for some. I was not so lucky, but I was charged a full subscription fee, and the app was literally on my phone for less than a half hour. This is completely unacceptable. Edit: Refunded. No rating change.
