User Reviews

Users value the app for timely local incident alerts and broad station coverage, but experience significant drawbacks from intrusive ads that mute audio, unreliable playback, billing frustrations, shifting station availability, and startup gating. Some note improvements after feedback from developers.

Pros

Real-time alerts/notifications for local fire/EMS incidents and mutual aid, saving time.
Broad coverage of local stations/frequencies (especially fire/ambulance).
Feeds are generally reliable and informative when not interrupted by ads.
Developer responsiveness to feedback and attempts to address issues.

Cons

Intrusive, non-stop ads that disrupt listening and mute the feed during playback.
Playback reliability issues including buffering, pauses, and occasional stream delays.
Billing and subscription problems such as high price, trial charges, and refunds being denied.
Changes in station availability/locations, with some cities or frequencies disappearing over time.
Startup gating that redirects users to the App Store or introduces a game-like screen before using the app.

This app is ridiculous with the adds. They really don’t want you using this app. Just take their hint and give up on it and find another one. Can’t believe they’re pushing so much behind a gate. Worthless garbage.
