Comes through loud and clear. Background noise is quiet when there’s nothing going on. (When things start happening, it can be startling) definitely worth $5
I love this app. It keeps me aware of what’s going on in my town.
No difference in this an the free one can’t even search what u want complete waste of money
Distorted audio from dispatch in Paulding county Georgia
Many times can’t connect and many calls are scratchy and unclear. Use to get Chicago and now for weeks can’t
I do not fully understand the difference between the free and the paid version of this app. 10 minutes of using this app I realized the free version was sufficient enough. I’m still getting ads from time to time, the map is useless, the chat is a weird online forum, like a lesser version of Reddit - which is accessible only through a web browser instead of within the app itself. Full of advertisements as well, furthermore the “chat” isn’t at all specific to the radio “station” you’re listening to and so you’d have to dig through comments to find anyone on the same radio as you. Very dumb. The extra radio stations are not valuable at all, there are only a handful and not interesting. I don’t bow why anyone would use or need this feature anyways. I don’t understand what I’m getting for $4.99 vs free…. I honestly can’t tell the difference. I’m pretty disappointed. If I wasn’t lazy, I’d probably ask for a refund- I deserve it because this a a useless paid app. Don’t buy. Use the free version.
I run a couple scanner feeds locally, the ability to add custom stations is paramount.
The best! I also use it as a prayer point: I pray over calls, first responders and victims.
This scanner app is good to use it’s easy to control the only thing is I wished some of the channels were more to my local area but there are more channels added all the time
