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.

If you’ve seen ads of this app, you’d know that they say “This is police scanner, it is a completely free app” NOT FREE. THEY FORCE YOU TO GET A FREE TRIAL TO EVEN SEE THE MAP, AND ONCE YOU GET THE TRIAL YOU CANNOT CANCEL IT, AND THEY MAKE IT TO WHERE YOU CANT CANCEL IT SO THEY CAN CHARGE YOU FORTY BUCKS. And lastly it is NOT USER FRIENDLY.

It’s says 24 hour active, but it only goes back 12 hours. Quite disappointing considering what they charge and the fact that I can listen to the same scanner for free. I paid specially for the archives.
