Ratings and reviews

There is a banner at the bottom of the screen. For example right now it says drug bust nearby. But eventually it goes away in favor of ads, very frustrating. It also has an information button that brings up a page of info. But it literally lasts a half second. I would pay for an ad free version but there is not one I can find in Play Store.

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.

Overall it seems to perform it's primary function quite well. This app doesn't have an archives feature to listen to radio traffic from previous live streams from the past. Also doesn't have the option to record segments of live feeds. Those options would be nice to have. I'm pretty new to the app, so if these features are part of the app, perhaps I just overlooked them or haven't located them yet.
