Police Scanner +⁺

While billed as “police scanner”, it’s the internet radio that I use more often with this app. I have tried many many internet radio apps and most boil down to the same thing and pick up many similar stations. It comes down to user friendliness, layout, etc. This is the app that covers most all I want in internet radio, except maybe some sport talk stations. It’s lacking in that department. Full disclosure, I went ahead and gotten “pro” version, and it’s totally worth it. No more ads, and the price was very low for that feature. Also, the app keeps playing in the background if you leave the site and surf other sites. (That’s a great feature ,IMO) In other words, this should satisfy all you need from internet radio and police scanner apps

Been hooked on scanner traffic for years. This app gives you the ability to listen to many locales. My town is small compared to the big cities on here but has its share of crime and other issues. I particularly enjoy streaming the app to my vehicle when driving through town. We've all driven by those multiple police or fire vehicles and wondered what was happening. With this app, you'll know. So many things that go on in a community that are never reported on the news and with a scanner app like this, you can be prepared or aware. Obviously, the information you hear on the scanner is delayed slightly (usually a few seconds) but for the most part it's pretty much real time. So addicted, love it!

This is far is the best scanner app that I used, I haven’t tried all of them but this one exceptionally works out without needing to search for any others. Very stable and professional built platform in my opinion. When you hear the sirens in your neighborhood or find an area that news is reporting, just turn on this app and you’ll get the information on what’s really happening. Also hook it Bluetooth to your sound system via auto, home, or just smart smart phone it works just find. I like the flashing blue red visuals along with siren which is hilarious 😆 lol. Also a useful distraction tool to get you out of a uncomfortable location/situation to use as deterrent 👍 - Sean B. Santa Barbara Ca

Fantastic app for people who like to know what is going on in their community or neighborhood. Also good for getting emergency broadcasts of unusual weather events. And, keep it going in the background while you do other things. You never know when something is going to happen that you may be interested in. Get more information than you would get from your local radio and television stations. Highly recommended. A worthwhile investment.

My critique may be misplaced here, but I don’t know why we don’t have the ability to select individual departments or create our own “playlist” to scan. Is that a limitation of what’s out there or a limitation of the app? For instance, I live in an area with 5 connected cities with just around 250,000 people total. I’d like to be able to just listen to one or two departments, but I’m limited to one selection that has all the cities PD’s plus some FD’s too. That waters it down for me and makes it confusing. I can see the “channel” numbers come up during the scanning phase and when there is communication going on. Why can’t we take that information and use it in a filter?
