Scanner Radio App DESCRIPTION

Listen to live audio from over 8,000 fire and police scanners, NOAA weather radio stations, ham radio repeaters, air traffic (ATC), and marine radios from around the world. Turn on notifications to receive alerts anytime a scanner has more than 2000 listeners (to find out about major events and breaking news).

FEATURES

• View scanners located near you.
• View the top 50 scanners (those that have the most listeners).
• View scanners added most recently (new scanners are being added all the time).
• Add scanners you listen to the most to your Favorites for quick access.
• Browse the directory by location or genre (public safety, aviation, railroad, marine, weather, etc).
• Turn on notifications to be notified when major events are happening (details below).
• Add Scanner Radio widgets and shortcuts to your home screen for quick access.

NOTIFICATION FEATURES

Receive a notification anytime:

• …any scanner in the directory has more than 2000 listeners (configurable).
• …a scanner within a certain distance of your location has more than a certain number of listeners.
• …a specific scanner has more than a certain number of listeners.
• …a Broadcastify alert is posted for one of your favorites.
• …a scanner within a certain distance from you is added to the directory.

Using the notifications feature is a great way to find out about breaking news events before they’re covered in the media.

Below are the benefits of upgrading to Scanner Radio Pro:

• No ads.
• Access to all 7 theme colors.
• Ability to record what you’re hearing.

The audio you’re able to hear is provided by volunteers (and, in many cases, police and fire departments and 911 dispatch centers themselves) for Broadcastify and a few other sites using real police scanners, ham radios, weather radios, aviation radios, and marine radios and is the same as what you’d hear using your own police scanner.

Some of the more popular departments that you can listen to using the app include NYPD, FDNY, LAPD, Chicago Police, and Detroit Police. During hurricane season it can be useful to listen to ham radio “hurricane net” scanners which contain weather conditions and damage reports when hurricanes and tropical storms are approaching or making landfall as well as NOAA weather radio scanners. Browse the directory to find scanners from far away to hear what citizens in other parts of the country and the world are experiencing.

Interested in providing scanner radio audio for your area? If so, you’ll need a real scanner radio, a computer, and a cable to get the audio from the scanner to the computer. Once you have that, program the scanner to monitor what you’d like to make available from your area (police dispatch channels, fire departments, 911 centers, ham radio repeaters, a NOAA weather radio station, air traffic control, etc). If someone near you is providing a feed that contains both police and fire you could provide a feed that contains only police, only fire, or one that covers only certain districts/precincts. Next, go to Broadcastify’s web site and click on the Broadcast button to sign-up (it’s completely free) to provide scanner audio for your area. As a provider you’ll have complete access to the audio archives for all of the scanners they host.

Scanner Radio has been featured in:

• The “Amazing Android Apps for Dummies” book
• Android Police’s “7 best police scanner apps” article
• Android Authority’s “5 Best Police Scanner Apps for Android” article
• The Droid Guy’s “7 Best Police Scanner Apps for Free on Android” article
• Make Tech Easier’s “4 of the Best Police Scanner Apps for Android” article

The Scanner Radio app is a perfect companion to the Pulse Point, Mobile Patrol, and Citizen apps as well as weather, hurricane tracker, and breaking news apps.

App REVIEWS

Shelly

I used to get notifications of situations in my area. Now I don't. I missed a bad fire notification in my county. It would be nice to have alerts sent to my phone again. It automatically stops playing.
----------
You should be receiving them again now.

Aaron

Since recent updates around Nov 26, the app has been using massive amounts of data (14.32 GB). The previous two months combined are less than 7 (5.2 gb and 1.4 GB, respectively). I'm not sure what changed or if I inadvertently changed a setting. Any help would be appreciated.

Arthenia

With each update, the issues with this app keep getting worse. Which is a shame cause otherwise it would be a great app. But it's disconnecting constantly. It'll say it's streaming, but won't actually be playing anything (compared to another phone with the same scanner that is working). The app randomly closes. None of the provided suggestions have worked at all and it just needs fixed.
----------
If you would like assistance, tap on Settings at the bottom of the screen in the app, then select Help, then select "Frequently Asked Questions", then tap on the "Send Feedback" button that's at the bottom of the screen. This will send an e-mail to the same e-mail address that's listed in the Play Store.

Christia

was great but now they just shove ads in your face. I'd be willing to make a 1 time payment for "premium" but there's no change in paying a subscription for this.

Jorge

Amazing App!, very convenient to know what's going on in your city and neighborhood when you're out of town. However, the app doesn't cover completely is certain areas of the world and coverage is limited. Nevertheless, works pretty good on major cities.

Se

I really enjoy listening to emergency scanners.. the ones that work anyway. This app seems to work for some cities, but definitely not all of the ones listed.. unfortunately this is true of my town.. I KNOW there's always stuff going on here, but this scanner app is silent.. since my review here, I'm being asked what county/state I'm referring to.. that's not information I wish to make public in a review, I will share that information directly with whomever is the tech solution.
----------
Which scanner entry are you trying to listen to (and what county and state is it listed under)?

Mi

Works "alright". Intrusive adds that block you from using your phone for a bit. Ad free price is way too high for what you get. Should be a one time buy, not a subscription.

Michael

Subscription.. nope. I had this app on iOS that I paid for in full and loved it. I've come over to Android and noticed it's a subscription now. One absolute joke. You won't be getting any of my money for a yearly subscription. Revert it back to a one-off payment please.

Stan

This is a great app !!! You can pick any city or any state at anytime and it will take you there live with great clarity !!! Also live up to date info 24/7 ! Trust me folks it doesn't get any better than this !!!

Roy

Gordon Don't know if it's the app or my phone, but when I open it screens keep changing, and app screen will not come back. Audio adjustments are frozen. I'm afraid to uninstall/reinstall for fear of losing all my data. This has been going on for 2 days now. I have rebooted/ restarted numerous times without success. Is their something going on with the scanner app? Cleveland NOAA weather was my last move to favorites about 3 days ago Thanks. Roy

David

for the most part..... I have been using this app pretty consistently for no less than 10+yrs!!! And on rare occasion it stall and/or crash. BUT That's BEEN VERY RARE. I generally don't have any problems finding the proper channel in whatever city I happen to be in and need THAT BRIEF BUT VERY CRITICAL STREAM OF INFORMATION. This app NOT FAILED ME......... 🤘👍🤪

Silverad

Getting a popup screen as soon as I start a feed that appears to be a amazon page and it is not anything from amazon it looks just like it, it wants people to click the link in the page as it appears to some sort of virus. UPDATE,,, the ad that looks like a amazon page seems to be coming from Google play as I just got the same issue downloading another app. UPDATE again your fix didn't work still getting the spam ad that looks like Amazon but it's not
----------
Would you mind sending me a copy of the app's log so that I can see the source? To do that, tap on Settings at the bottom of the screen in the app, then select Help, then select "Frequently Asked Questions", then tap on the "Send Feedback" button that's at the bottom of the screen.

Fredrik

I feel this is one of the best scanner apps, but I hang out with tow truck wreck chasers who listen for accidents, day and nite. After the main broadcast goes out, it takes this scanner and others another min or so to come off repeater towers, so their is a 1 or 2 min difference

CJS

Had the lifetime Pro app for a long time, saw it was no longer supported, reached out to the support page and got fixed up with a license for this new redesigned app. Very uncommon to interact with a developer who supports their long term subscribers. Appreciate it!

Michael

I don't know how I wound up picking this app over others but I've been using it for years now and I'm happy with it. It has given me real time alerts of a few notable incidents that have made headlines over the years. Unfortunately an increasing number of police agencies are moving to digital encrypted radio systems that you can't hear. If it weren't for the exit ads it would be 5 stars. But hey, those advertisers make the app free to you and me.

Amanda

App will not Uninstall from my phone!! I deleted the app through Google play store, but i am still getting notifications and as well hearing the scanner working, yet it's says install on Google play store. I went into my phone settings and it's not on there, but I am still receiving notifications and hearing random police scanners
----------
It sounds like you must have had more than one scanner app installed.

Jo

Update Thank you for the quick response. I'm back with the paid version. This is the 4th phone I've had this app on. Each time when I've downloaded it converts to the app I paid for. This time it didn't convert, stop I get ads and have to pay for it again to get rid of them. How can this be fixed?
----------
To reinstall the Pro version, launch the Play Store app, tap on the colored circle that's in the top-right corner of the screen, select "Manage apps & devices", tap on the "Manage" tab that's at the top of the screen, change the "Installed" drop-down to "Not Installed", select "Scanner Radio Pro", and then tap on the Install button.

Jana

I downloaded this app believing it was free. I did not see anything about a subscription. My bank was debited 43.29. I pulled up the same app for my I phone, the only charge was 2.99 for an upgrade. Google play charged me and refuse any refund. Just be sure to make sure you are not going to be billed for this app, unless you don't mind paying that much for this app I want to make sure that I made it clear in my review that Google play services charged me. Not the app developer.
----------
The app *is* free. A subscription is only needed if you'd like access to additional features or don't want to see ads. You can listen to all of the scanners without a subscription.

Lei

You can no longer set your local scanner to display on the widget, or at least I can't find a way. Had I known that, I wouldn't have updated. Update: developer contacted me with help to fix the problem. All good now
----------
You should still be able to. If you would like assistance, tap on Settings at the bottom of the screen in the app, then select Help, then select "Frequently Asked Questions", then tap on the "Send Feedback" button that's at the bottom of the screen.

Makarov

They are out of their minds charging that much for premium. Smoking crack. It's a decent app but there are way better options on the computer and especially if you buy some equipment and tune to your local departments. Think even the cheapest baofang or whatever would do alright
----------
A subscription is only needed if you'd like access to additional features and to not see ads, you can listen to all of the scanners without one.
