Uniden Siren 12+

Does it work?….yes it can 🤔

Is it finicky?….you betcha! 🫤

Is it unpolished?…yep! 🫤

Does it look like a high school class project?….definitely! 🫤

I’m not going to crab about the 3 second delay. It doesn’t matter if I’m in another part of the house.

With all this said…as I write this…I AM listening to my BCD536 on my iPhone14+ in another part of my house via local LAN. Far away from the 536. Nice👍

If I switch to another app…Siren continues working in the background. Nice! 👍

I have waited years for this functionality! And it’s finally here! Frankly, I gave up on any hope of a remote control app. Perhaps it’s simply class action lawsuit avoidance. Don’t sue us…We fulfilled our promise(barely)

My hope is that Uniden will continue to improve this app or at least let another development team clean it up. 7 YEARS WITHOUT ANY UPDATE ?!?

I WOULD PAY (can you hear me Uniden? I WOULD PAY) to use a much more polished and stable app. Like many others have pointed out…this app looks and functions like a beta convention demo app. But it can work!!

I enjoy using my Uniden scanners. I own 4 different models. They work well. Please don’t let Siren die 😵 on the vine.

The app works when the iPhone and radio are connected to the same wifi or when iPhone is remote but connected via VPN to the network that the radio is on. The audio is very flaky though. There is a problem with extreme low volume on bluetooth connected devices. And, if the app is started with headphones already plugged in it still outputs to iPhone speaker instead of to the headphones. Also, Unit IDs are not shown on the app display even though they are set to display on the radio. Come on Uniden, an update to fix these bugs is needed.

Hasn't been updated in over a year. This is barely useable and appears to be a beta version. Only works over a LAN - trying to forward over the Internet (using DMZ or a VPN) results in telemetry, but no audio. The audio is a good 3 seconds behind the data on the screen, replay / recording don't work right, no way to remotely reset the radio, app doesn't close properly, it's just a beta proof of concept to be demoed at a trade show - can't be used in real life. There are much more mature remote control s/w apps out there that do this same thing a lot better. I bought this radio solely for the EDACS PROVOICE decoding (an extra 50 dollar upgrade BTW) and thought the remote would be a nice touch, but come on! No updates to this S/W since last year? It's vaporware. Thank god it was free.
