Police Scanner: Fire Radio Reviews

by Mrod298

I downloaded PoliceScanner and was surprised to see you needed a subscription. It offered a free 3 day trial before billing. Less than an hour later I checked my bank account and noticed it had immediately billed me for the year subscription without any trial period. PoliceScanner doesn’t even work well in my location. It would work for a min then go silent. PoliceScanner was shutting down repeatedly. I now have to wait for an email response to get refunded and then who knows when it actually makes it back in my bank account.

I tried PoliceScanner out for the 3 day trial and canceled when I was suppose to. There was no actual cancel button but it said to stop using PoliceScanner and remove the content from your phone in order to not be charged. So why did I just get a notification today saying that I was charged for a year subscription when I had already deleted your app after deciding I didn’t want it? I would like my money refunded to me ASAP because I followed your terms for the free trial.
This was wrong.

I accidentally signed up for a year and it’s $40!!! Yes it’s my fault I didn’t read the message correctly but a year shouldn’t be the default. A month should have been but I guess this lets you take people for the maximum amount. It doesn’t even have the channel for the immediate area where I live.

Update August: Since I paid for a year I have been using it and now it stopped working. It can’t find anything anywhere. Please get it working again so my money wasn’t completely wasted. Thank you

I got PoliceScanner and deleted it same day because it was just not all that great, very clunky and didn’t have my local department anyway. It never asked me if I wanted to subscribe or anything when I got PoliceScanner , nor did it ask if I wanted a trial. I was then charged for the year subscription 2 days after I deleted PoliceScanner . I didn’t notice it until now, almost 5 months later, and unfortunately can’t get a refund anymore. Don’t download this unless you want to be scammed.

Used to like PoliceScanner. I moved to a new state just before Covid. I was using the scanner to get to know my city. Used to be able to hear both police and fire. Now it keeps saying the police are offline. I have reported this more than once and asked when it was going to be fixed. I get no response from these people. Just a thing saying they got my question and will get back to me. Been nearly a month since the first inquiry. No responses. Not impressed. I was going to pay to get rid of the ads but not now. Not impressed.

First let me start by saying I like PoliceScanner, however I have been using another scanner with the exact same features, channels and layout for years at a much, much cheaper price. I would 100% purchase PoliceScanner for $5 maybe even $10 for a onetime purchase, but $40 for a year?? You can purchase a lifetime subscription for an almost identical app (just search for scanners). Dev, come on. Why does PoliceScanner warrant a $40 a year subscription? By no means am I trying to hate on PoliceScanner, I’m just trying to be real.

I definitely just got played. Not that I wasn’t trying to somewhat double dip on a 3 day trial. Instead of being told I had already used it and rejected; I was just charged 42$ for a subscription. Started listening in Boulder at my job watching emergency personnel fly by my job during the grocery store shooting. Im appalled. I love PoliceScanner but I honestly didn’t have the 42$ to keep it long term. 🤦🏼‍♀️

PoliceScanner definitely pulls in the transmissions for the bands it is able to pick up. It would be much better if you could select X number to monitor at one time instead of only being able to listen to one band at a time. Many of these bands don’t have a lot of transmissions so you can go several minutes without hearing anything.
Since many police departments have gone with a different digital technology, you are not able to listen to them as they are ‘private’ now. It does not appear the paid version of PoliceScanner allows multiple bands to be scanned at one time but I could be wrong.

When the protests were going on, PoliceScanner showed up on my main page, and it’s been excellent to help me keep up to date with what’s going on. You can hear directly from police departments, and it’s quite insightful to know how they’re thinking.

Also, PoliceScanner itself is very intuitive and user friendly, and I even found this walkie talkie feature that allowed me to talk to other users about what’s going on around me.

Overall, it’s an app that’s super relevant and useful for the times. Stay safe out there guys

This Scanner App is by far the best one I’ve ever used. It is educational and somewhat entertaining. It helps to know and hear the professional manner in which First Responders behave. I’ve been very impressed by the quality of sound and the strong signal I get in my county.

by Sugarlipps1984

I’m in Tacoma Washington and I love being able to listen to my men in blue do there job , Also planning on moving to a different state so it’s nice to be able to hear what’s going on in the states that I’m interested in moving to …just sick of Washington. Anyways try PoliceScanner out you’ll like it , always Iris Taylor ❤️

I love this police scanner app it works great and tells you what the different codes mean that the police and dispatch use and it also tells you what cars are what county police, it is so interesting to listen to what’s going on in your area and we have a scanner news page on Facebook where if you miss anything or you wanna know if anyone is close and has more details than what goes over the scanner we can discuss it with others in the community. Really enjoy the free version of PoliceScanner I really see no reason to pay.

by Khaliqbaqi

I honestly love PoliceScanner I honestly give it 5 stars n honestly when y’all do the next update y’all let us see the actual location of the call with map system or copy paste it to where we could search it up or something like that honestly I give it 5 stars

Excellent for keeping up with local PD and FD. To know what is happening locally in the moment is valuable information for citizens, and PoliceScanner brings you that information. I’ve never had any issues with PoliceScanner , and I’ve had it for about a year now. It also has weather bands so you be in the know on severe weather, too! Love it.

by BigAntBrooklyn

You must delete PoliceScanner and the option pops up. I tried to figure this out before deleting to re install. because when I tried to access the subscriptions on PoliceScanner the page kept crashing or endless loading. Hopefully it was canceled.

by Purrrrme2u

This is a really nice way to listen to calls and how it works out. I am against defunding the police and I support all the police, sheriffs department, paramedics and so many other departments that help keep us safe. I feel bad for the police getting the short end of the stick but hopefully the powers that be, Will finally see the light and support our Frontline workers! 🙏🤗🥰

by Anisb3l

I like it I really really like it but the only thing is I need someone to take away the ads because it always irritates me because every time I exit out of a stream it just you know puts an ad open and cannot close it so either show the close button or just delete the ad feature entirely thank you for creating PoliceScanner

by JimBugsFats

This is one of the best Apps I have used. The sound and voices are very clear. Being a dispatcher from Fairfax county, Virginia back in the mid 70’s I understand the language. Being a retired Firefighter/Paramedic after 50 years I still feel the need to move for the door for the next call.
It is with great sadness to fine of the volunteer firefighters and EMT at a dying breed. I remember the slogan:” What if your house was on or your were hurt and nobody came?”

by SLP 1988

I really like PoliceScanner. It works great and keeps me informed of what’s going on around me. I have had it a month now, and I am 99% sure I have the free version. I have double checked my accounts to make sure I haven’t been scammed because all these bad reviews have me worried! There are ads when you switch channels but nothing awful. I usually stay on the same channel anyways. So unless I’m missing something, I would definitely recommend!

by Jeden12000

When I first started using it, it would show the department making the call. It would say scanning when no one was talking. I thought that was better as it encourages me to look at the screen more and see your ads. I would like to encourage you to change it back to that.

by Me And Myself +none

A $10/month subscription to remove ads when I can pay less for another app with more features? There’s also a lot of sketchy positive reviews all posted on the same day. Probably bought fake reviews 🤔

by KatC1168

When it is a Friday or a Saturday night, or when I’m bored. I’m always interested to hear what is going on for Police and Firemen around my area and around the nation.

by Speedfresh2121

I love it that’s what I need it’s been along time people we need more cops to catch a lot of bad guys and bunch of crook it people

We Live in Indianapolis we’re crime is so bad it’s nice knowing what’s going on around you at all time thanks to the men and women that protect us while us Americans sleep sometime of the day night morning evening their on the beat

by Tareq20

This is awesome you can listen to any city police activity, great for people that want to be aware of what is going on in a neighborhood they might be thinking of moving to.

by 🎶🎶lol

I used so many scanner apps, this is absolutely the best user-friendly one. Way better than others.

by Tweet257

I’ve tried many apps and this is the first one that had my city. We are a little over 50k in population so it’s always hard to find one. Great app!!

by TW56789

PoliceScanner gives you the ability to listen to events as they happen in major cities around the country and beyond.

by Gayleelaine

I never hear anything from the city I live in El Cajon then I hear 20 minutes of silence and I know there’s more going on than that how come I’m only here in something every now and then and mostly out in rule East County hardly anything in East County El Cajon area downtown

by API Of Colorado

Very professional scanner with major perks that differates anything else I’ve tried.

Get live updates off line on your phone then except the call or just keep notified. This is anywhere at anytime in the United States.

This huge.

A little on the expensive side if you op to go with the pro plan, but you honestly get what you pay for. I am not opted in but still get the perks. I can only imagine what I would have if I did and plan too shortly.

Really great scanner can’t express that enough.

This is a great app to keep up on what is happening around your home. Whether it be crime, medical, weather or at your neighborhood. The only down fall is when your station goes off the air or changes without letting you know! This helps with your personal safety.
