Team review

" Police, fire, rescue and other radios. "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 8 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 2.1 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is very light, less than two MB enough to keep it on his device and turn it on.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Negative review it is great when its not begging you for money by anonym
the app is great when it isn't shutting off and trying to get you to upgrade it every two minutes.....it says Free but its NOT Free to upgrade at all that is dishonest and a bait and switch bullshit ploy.....it should just turn on and stay on and not shut off and panhandle for money like a dirty Hobo. 2/5
Positive review by anonym
Does very good. It's really clear and I can understand what's being said, I'm hard of hearing. Due to service in an artillery unit in Korea. I wished I could plug in and listen more to our Border security. Willcox, At. 5/5
Positive review I am really impressed by anonym
Worth the download, I knew exactly when the police was about to bust in my door, so I got the hell outta that house and been on the run for months. I'm always two steps ahead of them because of this app. THANKS 5/5
Negative review Scanner by anonym
This app. Sucks big time! It says no interruptions, yet you can't listen to it for thirty seconds without interruptions, than it stops streaming??? What's up with that. I won't deal with that crap, fix it or I uninstall it! Don't get me wrong it's clean listening, but every thirty seconds it wants me to upgrade pop up crap I don't want. 1/5
Positive review A really cool app. :D by anonym
Not the best or most versatile scanner application i've ever used, but it is very thorough. Numerous police, fire, ems, rail, airport, and other frequencies (including some amateur) can be selected by type, region or most listened to. Note: the internet rebroadcasts are done by volunteers, and this app can't help you if your local municipality isn't included. :( But cool features of this include references of popular cb Ten Codes (not all are accurate) and trucker slang. i believe NOAA is included too. 4/5
Positive review Great app by anonym
Nice to be able to listen to problems in real time. 4/5
Negative review Try something else by anonym
App with stop working almost immediately if you don't upgrade. Doesn't give you enough time to decide if it's worth buying. Will interrupt every ten seconds asking to upgrade and when it interrupts it will stop working until you go back to the beginning , start it up again and find the channel you want to listen to again. You get ten seconds free every two minutes or so. Uninstall. 1/5
Positive review Informative app must try! by anonym
The only thing that would make this app better is if it had more specific definitions for the lingo according to where the radios are located. And of course adding more channels would be nice too. Other than that this app is very informative and easy to use. 4/5

Neutral review Scanner by anonym
I was showed this from a friend and so far its OK. The only thing is I don't think it picks up to clearly in my area cause it goes silent for a long time and I know that more goes on in my town than what's coming across the scanner. 3/5
Negative review Offers Free Upgrade, but fails to deliver on Deal by anonym
The App offers you 2 options to Upgrade , one is to buy the app, the other is to Upgrade for free by installing and running any other app in a list it presents to you, So after doing this it is still locked and nagging me to either Buy it or Upgrade for free. So for this it gets 1 star. Tried 3 times now, and it does not upgrade the app, SCAM. 1/5
Positive review Pretty good by anonym
Nice little app that works well on galaxy s5. Have used this app on HTC a few years back and have just returned to Android to find the app is a bit more user friendly than it used to be. Nice to see it has improved. The first chanel I tuned into was the Chicago police who were calling for an officer to attend a homeless person walking around with his genitals exposed. Lol. 5/5
Positive review Police Scanner by anonym
Police Scanner app very interesting app for police officers as well as all peace officer's within the chosen designated area. It's also a good app for the civilian public to be aware what crimes are being perpetrated in their area of location! 4/5
Negative review by anonym
No they keep on asking you to upgrade with the Popups you can decline but they keep asking you to the App says it's Free isn't worth the harassment 2/5

Would be better if ads came up on screen constantly as a banner rather than stopping the app. 4/5

Just got it, But at lease this picks up my area after awhile I'll be back with a better report. So for now am (HAPPY Just like the song SO HAPPY) THANK YOU. 3/5
Neutral review Just one thing.. by anonym
I wish it would work in while in the background. Instead of automatically stopping. I have to keep it open. Or make sure my phone doesn't close the screen or time out. 3/5
