Police Scanner, Fire Radio 4+

Review explaining my score

I gave this app a score of 2stars out of a possible 5stars. I like that this is a free app that’s great. I like that I have the ability to have it with me on my phone. I like that this app also will send a written notification of possible emergency events happening for the towns/county of the States it represents/monitors. I don’t like that I have to actually have to be using the App and just App to HEAR any and all alerts that it gets yet it can send me a text like notification of an alert in a state other than my state or county for which is on the list of being monitored. I’ll hear our fire department alarms going off and this app does not pick up and let me know yet it will say that in Mississippi somewhere (just an example)🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ . I don’t even get the text like notifications that an event/emergency is or had happened even when I can actually hear the fire engines and ambulance and police passing my house . So this App seams to be selective on what it lets you see/hear I do wonder if I PAY for the UPGRADE if I WILL then actually be able to definitely see/hear the emergency events in MY TOWN. On the free app it only lists my fire department (not the police) as being monitored Not the police I would appreciate it if I could hear and see my county/town like it advertises.

Really helpful during all the protests

When the protests were going on, this app 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, the app 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

*Needs a way to Send Favorites to the Watch App

This scanner app could have been great if it only had a way to send searched and favorited links to the watch app as the watch app has no search and is stuck on only a few outdated nearby links as the watch app has not been updated in three years. The watch app also has no use of the watch’s speaker. I know this isn’t the watch app just letting owners what to expect of it. Also needs a lifetime subscription for a sales boost. Want to make money?? Add a lifetime subscription and watch support. There are better police scanner apps on the App Store that have a one time lifetime subscription. The developers of those apps are making a ton more money. No one wants a subscription. Again, needs as way to send its favorites to the watch app and the watch app needs to be fixed to used internal watch speaker. These fixes should be obvious. This could have been a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ app but is held back by a few small but great improvements. My review score will be adjusted as updates are released. I’m updating my review to ⭐️⭐️⭐️ because the developer emailed me back which is appreciated. I would like to see this app do well.
