Rdio Scanner 12+

Love the app and what it can do, but…

Unless the app is in the foreground, AND there is semi-frequent activity, the app goes to sleep and drops its connection to the server. Depending on what channels I’m listening to, I’m almost always having to unlock my phone screen and get it to wake up before it’ll re-establish its connection to the server. This is pretty frustrating as the long gaps in time have me wondering if it’s truly quiet, or the app died again.

Can’t you please fix this?!

Also add a few memory buttons that can be used to remember various talkgroup settings? Depending on where I am, I listen to various talk groups IDs and specific channels. Instead of having to reprogram those every time, it would be convenient to recall mem-1, mem-2, or mem-3 for example.

Needs a minor feature to be 5 stars

I rarely review apps. However I find myself using this app nearly every single day. I live in an area that is in close proximity to 5 different counties. So, I have 5 different “servers” added in my settings. Because of the server URL, I don’t know which one is which when connecting. Just adding a function to put a name on the server above the URL or below the password just so it’s easy to connect in and out. Add this QoL feature and it’s an easy 5 stars.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the review. Your request feature is already on our backlog and we are preparing to get back to work. For unforeseen reasons, we had to stop development for a year but we will soon get back to it as we are currently in the process of rebuilding a dev team.

Great App! Check it out!!

I am running a server and have friends accessing it via this app… This makes it so they can save their talk groups and still hear calls when the app is not in the foreground. It would be cool to add a public server section and have a setting on the server to allow public. This way people can list their servers. It is a hard sell for the subscription though… I think if it was 25 dollars a year people would gladly pay for it and help support. Thank you for all your hard work!!!
