This app used to be really efficient and easy to use. Listen to police and EMS scans from all over the world. But the developers have gone rouge with ads! It seems like every 2 minutes there is an ad break for a sketchy mobile game. Before you can even listen to a frequency, you have to sit through an impossible to skip ad, that won’t let you close out until you let it redirect you to the App Store. The channels close out too frequent nowadays as well. If you try and listen with your phone locked, it will close out the channel you are listening too. It will make you search all over again and sit though another stupid ad break! This app has gotten to be so inefficient. I’m going to look for another police scanner app that isn’t infected with ads for sketchy mobile games nobody plays !

This is so informative, whenever I hear sirens & helicopters in the air close to my house I download this app and put in my area info and BAM there it is, you can listen in on what’s going on, it’s great. I like it because I can find out if they’re close to my house, this way I can be prepared for anything, like if someone is going to be running thru my backyard and whether the suspect or suspects have weapons, I’ll know to get inside and lock my doors. Last one I heard was a male who was close, not in my neighborhood, but in the area and he was on foot, carrying a small handgun and was on cocaine, last heard he was in a mobile home park, which is a pretty good distance from here. It gives you a lot of info, so go for it and have some fun listening in on the action.

Next best thing to having a physical scanner or may be better since I no longer need to carry around a list of channels. Ads are needed I understand but my only complaint is that some ads take over the sound or are hard to actually close. You hit the close for the ad and then it asks you to download you close that and the add close icon is in a different place. When you finally get some ads to close you miss some or most of a particular event. That’s a bit frustrating. But it is the best option as far as I have found.
