Junk
scericat
A total waste of money at least for me. Go to radio reference, nothing listed for my state. Go to shout cast scanner, list my state capital but it says it cannot stream this channel. It is completely worthless for me.
Great app!

As a scanner buff for over 30 years, I also own almost all the scanner apps. The best thing about this app are the number of feeds to choose from (it seems to have them all!) and the ability to share what you are listening to via facebook and twitter. That's a good feature. It's not my favorite scanner app (though it is in the top 3) because I am not crazy about the GUI. It's rather plain. And moreso, I recently discovered another scanner app that actually scans multiple feeds for activity the same way a real scanner does. I've gotten spoiled with that feature. That being said, this is a solid app. I'll love it when the developers combine all the best features into a single app. 5 stars for the selection alone and the ability to add custom feeds.
Good

This is the only scanner app that I found that offered stations for the Las Vegas Police. I have a handheld scanner and this app is better than that. You will never miss a thing. There is a problem with signal loss and on occasions I have had to reset the station. Overall I am happy with the app.
Great App! 4 Stars.

So far it's a great app but would be better if there was a stop button instead of a pause button. While app is still running and in pause mode, phone service resets and stream reconnects unexpectively. Should stop the stream comletely while in pause/stop mode. Hopefully that can be fixed asap. Thanks!! eNubiX - California
Worth the money.

I work in the emergency service field and recommend this app to everyone I work with. It would be nice to have a shorter delay and to be able to add frequency codes if you've got them, but other than that I love it. It's the best scanner app available.
Great App!

Certainly not the flashiest scanner app I have seen, but this one does offer the most channels to listen to and seems to always be updated and accurate for finding online agencies! I have bought 5 scanner apps, some offer some different bells and whistles which are very nice, but this app offers the most to frequencies to listen to! Some record, some offer maps, some offer outdated and often inaccurate 10 codes, some show how many listeners are listening, some even look more like a real scanner, some have "banks" and let you listen to more than one channel at a time, and some let you run the app in the background while you still have access to your other apps. Maybe they can incorporate the best features of all the scanner apps in future updates! Thanks!
Not a true scanner

The use of the word "scanner" would make you think that you can choose multiple stations that are scanned. Like the one in a patrol car or from Midland etc. Not true. Knowing that, it works very well with a single station at a time that you select.
Best scanner radio app
TheForceBeWithYou
This is a "crowded" field, but after havin purchased all, this is the best: nightly updates of feeds, reporing of online/offline status, background play and most of all, extremely good sound quality. Highly recommended.
I love background play
jimboMdean
This is a now brainer: with background play this is a must have app. Highly recommended.
