    The scanner app is great! You should check it out if you want to stay informed about your surroundings. It's very helpful and informative, and you can customize it to suit your preferences. It also includes codes and provides real-time updates. Considering it's free, I highly recommend it!😍

    Scanner Radio is awesome. It helps you stay updated and I really appreciate how quickly they respond to calls. When the police are around, I feel secure in my area and find it reassuring to listen for updates. The app offers a wide range of cities to tune into, which is a great feature. Give it a try, but be prepared as it can sometimes be surprising if you hear about someone you know involved in an incident. It's quite an experience!

    The app keeps having more problems every time it gets updated. It's a pity because it would be a fantastic app otherwise. The main issue now is that it keeps disconnecting. Even though it shows that it's supposed to be playing, nothing actually plays (unlike on another phone using the same scanner which works). On top of that, the app shuts down randomly. None of the suggestions provided have helped, so it just needs to be fixed.

    I gather news for a living and this app is extremely important to me. It's well-designed and works perfectly when I use it in my car through bluetooth. I can listen to music while using it since it doesn't interrupt the audio. Even though I don't have the paid version, I think I should get it for better playback quality. The only downside is sometimes there's a 30-second delay, but overall, it's a great app if you have a good broadcaster.

    I used this app for a long time and everything was fine. But now, after the recent update, there are annoying ads that play when I open the app. This is ruining the whole experience. Another problem is that the scanner keeps disconnecting after just a few minutes of inactivity. Please, fix these issues so I can use the scanner without any interruptions.
