## Review summary

The app is praised for multi-channel, real-time monitoring and solid developer support, plus compatibility with older iOS devices. However, many reviews express frustration with a subscription model and lack of grandfathering for longtime buyers, coupled with reliability issues like data loss and feeds failing to load. A common concern is the migration from the original app to the subscription-based version, which some users view as a drop in value.

### Pros

- Ability to monitor multiple banks and channels simultaneously (multi-channel listening), including up to several feeds at once.
- Responsive developer and attentive customer support with bug fixes and feature requests.
- Works well on older iOS devices, indicating broad compatibility across devices.
- Overall performance and usefulness for real-time monitoring (popular among stringers and emergency responders).

### Cons

- Subscription pricing with monthly/yearly fees and lack of grandfathering for longtime buyers; many users want a one-time fee.
- Reliability/stability issues in the app, including data loss, feeds not loading, and occasional crashes.
- Perceived abandonment of the original app in favor of a new subscription version, causing frustration for longtime users.
