## Description

911 Dispatch is a Chrome extension that lets you listen to live police, fire, and EMS frequencies. It provides real-time feeds, integrated maps for visual context around calls, and a built-in police code list to follow the action.

Key features include alpha tags and metadata support, realistic LCD-style text, favorites, an intuitive interface, background audio, auto-updating feeds, and location-aware maps. It supports stereo Bluetooth audio for in-vehicle listening. Location availability varies by feed, and Crushed Box Software does not own or operate the feeds.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for accessing police/fire scanner feeds across many jurisdictions and while traveling. But reliability is repeatedly criticized: channels go offline or won’t connect; the app lags and freezes; local coverage is uneven, with many users lacking their area feeds. Paid users report stations aren’t available despite listings and refunds are difficult. Other recurring complaints include feed overlaps, cross-county interference, and inaccurate status reports. Overall, the app’s functionality is inconsistent, undermining trust in channel availability despite its broad scanning capabilities.

### Pros

- Easy to use with multiple jurisdictions to scan.
- Portable and usable on the go, including while traveling.
- Generally positive; described as a great/fantastic police scanner app.
- Long-term user appreciation and loyalty.

### Cons

- Channels frequently go offline or won’t connect, making the app unreliable.
- App lags and freezes when switching stations.
- Local coverage is inconsistent or missing; often cannot hear local agencies.
- Paid version promises stations listed elsewhere but many aren’t available; refunds are difficult.
- Feeds can overlap or cross into other counties and feed status can be inaccurate.
