I paid for the original application years ago. I was not aware of the release of an entirely new application, which now offers a yearly subscription in comparison to the radio reference counterpart. Why would you not offer a grandfathered plan for previously paid users?
Crashing when trying to select stars

Overall this is a fantastic app and I enjoy using it. However the latest update seems to have introduced a bug. When I go to add a new feed and select US and then try to select Kentucky the app crashes. I don’t know if this happens on other states. This is the first state I’ve experienced the issue with and I have used feeds from multiple states across all of the banks.
Developer Response
Thank you for the feedback. We've fixed the Kentucky issue in the latest release.
Hands Down, The Best Scanner App Available
Calif.Bob1
Action Scanner Police Radio is the absolute best scanner app you can buy online. It can be configured for multiple banks with multiple channels per bank and it’s very easy to use. It also works well on my older iOS device. Customer support is also really attentive and will help with any questions you have. Highly recommended.
