About Scanner Radio Pro
Listen to live audio from over 6,300 police and fire scanners and amateur radio repeaters from around the world (primarily in the United States, Canada, and Australia, with more being added daily).
Features:
• View scanners that are located nearest you, sorted by distance.
• View the top 50 scanners that have the most listeners (updated every 5 minutes).
• View list of scanners added most recently (new additions are being added all the time).
• Add scanners you listen to the most to your Favorites list for quick access.
• Browse the directory of scanners by location or genre (public safety, air traffic, railroad, etc).
• Enable notifications to be notified when lots of people (such as over 3500, for example) are listening to any scanner (indicating that something big is happening). You can also be notified when scanners located near you (or specific scanners of your choosing) have more than a certain number of listeners and when new scanners are added.
• Add Scanner Radio Pro widgets and shortcuts to your home screen for quick access (app cannot be installed on SD card to access them).
• Add a "Scanner Radio Pro Favorite" shortcut to your home screen to launch a scanner feed via an alarm clock app or automation app.
• Listen to Broadcastify.com's audio archives to listen to audio that's been archived over the past 6 months Note: You *must* have an account on Broadcastify.com and purchase their "Premium Membership" ($15 for 6 months) in order to access their archives using the app.
• Supports Android Auto.
• Locale/Tasker can be used to launch the app and have one of your Favorites automatically begin playing based on one or more conditions or have the app stop playing. One use for this feature is to have a scanner feed begin playing when your phone connects to a specific Bluetooth device and then have it stop when the connection to that Bluetooth device is no longer present.
In addition to the above features, you also get the following features with this version of the app:
• No ads.
• Access to all 6 theme colors (requires Android 5.x and later).
• Push notifications sent within 5 minutes (vs within 15 minutes in the free version).
• The ability to record the audio.
• The play button at the top of the directory screens and on the widgets can be used to start listening without having to go to the player screen.
The audio is provided by volunteers (primarily for Broadcastify.com) using real scanner radios.

Explanation of why a couple of permissions are needed:
• The "Location" permission is required so that the app can determine what scanners are located in your area when you select "Nearby Scanners". When you select "Nearby Scanners" the app first attempts to determine your location via the network, if that fails the app then tries to determine your location via GPS.
• The "Photos/Media/Files" / "modify or delete the contents of your USB storage" permission is required in order for the app to support the ability for you to record the audio you're hearing and be able to save it to a location that you can access from your computer (requires Scanner Radio Pro to be installed or for you to be using Scanner Radio Pro).

Always been very helpful and open minded on establishing changes that users suggest/request. 99% a 5 star app. This last update everything fails to load e.g... favourites, alerts, nearby, browse. Error msg for each all says 'failed to load' Get it back to way just previously was and I'll bump back up to 5 stars.

Pretty neat little app. I originally got this just to listen to my hometown's police dispatch (figure out where the speeding traps were), but ended up grabbing more favorites further and further away from me. The paid version is definitely worth it as the widgets are really useful for popping on really quick in the car, and its worth supporting this thing.

I have had this app for a number of years, and I love it. However, with my current phone, it seems to be unstable. It will run fine for awhile, then suddenly, when I tap to open, I end up with my background wallpaper blinking on and off and I have to reboot my phone. It will work again only after I uninstall/reinstall. Any advice would be helpful. Kyocera HydroReach.

After being a long user of 5-0, I switched to this one for two big reasons. 1) it has Andriod Auto connectivity and it works great! 2) The scanner will actually tells you what channel its on during a scan when either PD or Fire is keyed. This one is better then 5-0 for those two added features.

Bar None and By Far The Most Excellent, User Friendly, Continuously Updating Mobile Police Scanner App Available for Android Devices. Absolutely Head and Shoulders above the rest, the Only Scanner App I'll ever use again. Both the Free Edition and Pro Edition are Remarkably Spot On Tight! I've upgraded to the Pro Edition and it was Well Worth the Incredibly Low Price! Major Kudos and Much Gratitude to the App Developers and the Volunteers who Maintain Their Local Scanner/Computer Combinations, Who Bring Timely Information Directly To Our Fingertips. Be well, be safe and be blessed in all things, Sincerely and Respectfully Yours, ...~Dr. Benjamin Bennett Th.D

You should add a chat. I would be on here all the time. That way we could find out from someone who has been listening what's going on. This would be a hit.

Best scanner app. I'm new to listening and boy is this addictive! This app is so cool that I bought the paid version; and I don't buy apps! Seriously a cool way to learn what our noys in blue and first responders are up against on a daily basis.

I rarely give reviews, but I feel that this app deserves my response. I don't know of anything that I would request that this doesn't do. Highly customizable. Does what I want it to do.

From day one for years on end it has worked flawlessly on every device I have owned. Even on this WalMart phone I have had no problems. So many good features and it just keeps getting better. I always recommend it and everyone who switches over has nothing but positive feedback. Thanks for this long lived app that hasn't been destroyed by it's developers.

I have been using this for 7 years now. In that time I have had only three problems. Each time the developer responded to me in a prompt and courteous manner and the problems were quickly fixed. Its worth it to get the pro version. This is THE BEST scanner app ever!!
by K####:
Although the channels I want to listen to seem to be offline more than on. And can't even get cities like minneapolis and others I'd like. I'm wondering now why I purchased the pro version. And my phone isn't an older version lol I guess a s 7 edge is old now.
