OpenMHz Reviews

I work in Philadelphia and love listening to this in the background where I work. I used to bring in a Uniden BCD436HP scanner but there are a lot of simulcast issues in the area.

This is actually a lot better than using a scanner because it queues up the calls, so you don’t miss anything.

My only wishlist items would be a way to “favorite” a system so I don’t have to find it each time and CarPlay support.

Luke, just downloaded and started to play with this on iOS and Ventura/Mac/OS. Thanks for doing this. Had a couple of crashes already, but not to worry.... Do you have a support / funding link? Like to make a contribution to your noble effort.

Have an IPhone, it doesn’t save where you want to listen
If you minimize it, half the time it closes OpenMHz out once you choose a location to listen too…
Needs a lot of work, will stay with the web based ….

Excellent application and system. this app is a great tool for first responders. The ability to go back and listen to radio traffic is a nice feature for training and recaps. By the way it's free!

Thank you for all of the hard work and for making this available.

Fantastic for listening without a radio, however the inability to save your "favorite" channels or systems requires extra time to find or input exactly what you want to listen to.

Needs iPad landscape mode.. nobody uses their iPad in portrait all the time. I’m confused on stations .. either it only covers stations that are odd and not in my areas (Texas!) or I don’t understand how to find them? Interface is clunky. I like the idea of the archive.. but I don’t want to listen to some farmer’s emergency network in BFE…

All I have is a black screen, no sound, just a search bar in where I’ve entered the desired info and BLANK. Rubbish!!

Scrolling down the list of saved broadcasts, the list on the right just notes the time but not the day! If I wanted to check out what happened a week ago, that would be a lot of scrolling and impossible to keep track of the exact day I wanted. Maybe a way to jump from day to day would be helpful. I’d also like a way to favorite the location I listen to. Thank you. Also, does this not stay active in the background?
