only scanner app I've ever had or seen that had any channels or signals at or near the exact location where I live; which is in a remote rural area. Very small towns in every direction including mountains, trees and wooded area, as well as open areas for long distances of nothing but brown flats. All in all I'm very thankful to the makers and creators of this imparticular app!! P.S....This scanner also has excellent reception, is very clear sounding, no feed back,& the broadcast is amazing!!

This app is good for listening to my counties police radio communication, but only for the first 4 channels on they're walkie talkies, the other 12 (5-16) are not broadcasted on my counties radio communication. A fix for this issue, or some type of bypass implemented by the developer('s) would be ideal, and probably very beneficial in regards to the amount of downloads, positive ratings, and active users on this scanner app tremendously increasing! Overall, 4/5, very handy app.

Great app works well. Can hear very clearly. Good app. The app continues to work/play when you leave the app. I'm able to go to other apps and play on my phone while still listening to the scanner. I really like that. Also, you don't need to pay to use the app. At the beginning screen, it asks you what package you want to purchase, you can hit the back button, or look for the "x" on the screen, and it takes you off the payment page and to the stations! ITS FREE! only pay if u don't want ads!
