works great!

best app ever best appever

excellent app it works just right

awesome app if you are a Radio Reference subscriber....

💜💜💜💜

loaded with fake viruses i Uninstalled because of the fake virus warnings don't try any snarky rude attitude

This is supposed to be a public safety platform. Broadcastify worked for a decade plus without issue, without ads. Yet here we are and they're again trashing another public service. Imagine you're in a life threatening situation, need information and you have to wait for ads. Lol whoever is behind this app is a trash human.

good clear audio, and does not drop feeds.

i was forced to install this after brodcastify ended. popups and ads non stop.

Broadcastify used to be free. Great app to stay informed on fires, etc, in your area. Awareness is key to safety. instead of wondering why you hear ambulance fire or police sirens, you can tune in and learn more. have some peace of mind. This app helps me rest my ptsd by knowing my safety risk levels it also has a feature to report if you see fire smoke or public safety issues which is good as police fire and emergency workers need to stay focused on immediate action at hand.
