## Review summary

Users find Police Scanner+ offers broad station coverage and clear audio, useful for staying informed about local and global incidents. However, frequent, intrusive ads and a shifting monetization model (subscription/plus) frustrate many, especially when ads interrupt broadcasts or block access. Reliability concerns persist, with reports of offline periods or channels not loading after updates. Despite strong positives, the combined ad experience and pricing changes significantly affect usability for regular listeners.

### Pros

- Broad variety of stations with local and international coverage
- Clear audio quality of broadcasts
- Helpful for staying informed about local events and potential threats
- Regularly used and convenient (works with Bluetooth headset)
- One of the better free scanner apps despite ads

### Cons

- Intrusive, hard-to-close ads that disrupt listening and block use
- Pricing changes after updates (subscription/plus) and misaligned expectations about in-app purchases
- Reliability issues: app sometimes offline or channels fail to load
- Ads interfere with UI/navigation, blocking access to controls
- Updates sometimes hinder access to local broadcasts or alter how local channels are activated
