User Reviews

Users frequently praise the app's map and brief-summary usefulness, but a majority cite paywall and subscription issues, hidden charges, and refund problems. Audio quality is often poor or inconsistent, making dispatch hard to understand. UX friction, including hard cancellation, confusing navigation, and unwanted alerts, further detracts from usability. Coverage gaps in certain regions also limit usefulness.

Pros

Map feature provides relative call locations and is highlighted as a beneficial element.
Some users report the audio can be loud and usable for quick situational awareness.
No spyware reported by at least some users; otherwise smooth operation for those who use it.
Useful for brief summaries of police/EMT/fire responses.

Cons

Persistent subscription paywall with hidden charges, frequent prompts to subscribe, and difficulty canceling or getting refunds.
Audio quality and playback are unreliable (scratchy, random words, or inaudible dispatch).
Not user-friendly with navigation issues, and problems signing in or managing favorites/alerts.
Coverage gaps in some areas and unwanted alerts from other regions.

Recent reviews

This scanner app is doing the one job it has and still failing. 113 people sitting there staring at a map of Waukesha County like something’s about to happen, and the app just slaps up “This feed is off the air right now.” Then a giant orange refresh button, like hitting that is going to invent a radio signal. Half the time the feed isn’t even dead. The app just lost the stream, choked on the server, or decided midnight on a weekend was a good time to lie to you. “Try Again” is developer-speak for “we don’t know, you figure it out.” Enhance Audio. Show Captions. Volume slider ready. Map looking official. All the costume of a real scanner — and then silence. It’s a flashlight with no batteries. Broadcastify-style apps have been like this for years: pretty UI, dead streams, and a star button so you can favorite the disappointment. The cops didn’t go off the air. The app just quit and blamed the feed.
