Pros and cons of Scanner Radio app for iPhone and iPad
Scanner Radio app good for
As a scanner buff for over 30 years, I also own almost all the scanner apps. The best thing about this app are the number of feeds to choose from (it seems to have them all!) and the ability to share what you are listening to via facebook and twitter. Thats a good feature.
Its not my favorite scanner app (though it is in the top 3) because I am not crazy about the GUI. Its rather plain. And moreso, I recently discovered another scanner app that actually scans multiple feeds for activity the same way a real scanner does. Ive gotten spoiled with that feature. That being said, this is a solid app. Ill love it when the developers combine all the best features into a single app. 5 stars for the selection alone and the ability to add custom feeds.
This is the only scanner app that I found that offered stations for the Las Vegas Police. I have a handheld scanner and this app is better than that. You will never miss a thing. There is a problem with signal loss and on occasions I have had to reset the station. Overall I am happy with the app.
So far its a great app but would be better if there was a stop button instead of a pause button. While app is still running and in pause mode, phone service resets and stream reconnects unexpectively. Should stop the stream comletely while in pause/stop mode.
Hopefully that can be fixed asap.
Thanks!!

I work in the emergency service field and recommend this app to everyone I work with. It would be nice to have a shorter delay and to be able to add frequency codes if youve got them, but other than that I love it. Its the best scanner app available.
Certainly not the flashiest scanner app I have seen, but this one does offer the most channels to listen to and seems to always be updated and accurate for finding online agencies! I have bought 5 scanner apps, some offer some different bells and whistles which are very nice, but this app offers the most to frequencies to listen to! Some record, some offer maps, some offer outdated and often inaccurate 10 codes, some show how many listeners are listening, some even look more like a real scanner, some have "banks" and let you listen to more than one channel at a time, and some let you run the app in the background while you still have access to your other apps. Maybe they can incorporate the best features of all the scanner apps in future updates! Thanks!
The use of the word "scanner" would make you think that you can choose multiple stations that are scanned. Like the one in a patrol car or from Midland etc. Not true.
Knowing that, it works very well with a single station at a time that you select.
Some bad moments
Howcome i cant setup web radio. Keep on giving me " not responding". That why bought it for. Plus can I use on 3G?
Thanks
App works allright , but there is very limited Canadian content. Where is the Vancouver police? All the major US cities have feeds. Why not Canada? It tends to crash a littlte too often. This APP needs work. Update please!
I am listening to all the channels I want. I got very quick and helpful answers to my questions. This fills my scanner needs nicely.
My advice . . . Do not waste your dollar. I got screwed, as this only works part of time and sound is so low you can hardly hear it, and yes I had the volume turned up all the way, and still could not hear it. Dont waste your money.
I am a feed provider and this app does not broadcast all audio. It is intermittent at best. I am listening to my scanner that is broadcasting the feed and listening to this app at the same time and the app is very choppy. I tried other apps that work perfectly. Pleas fix ASAP!
This app has alot of potential, but it has a bug which causes it to crash and is unreliable at best. I was satisfied when I purchased this app about a year ago. My city was not online yet but I was content listening to surrounding areas. Shortly after, I was pleased to find my city on this apps list! After getting use to having my citys Scanner Radio right on my phone, I was obviously pretty bummed out when it stopped allowing me to listen to it (Waco). Theres some major technical issues which need fixed, but I will be keeping the app in the hopes of having Waco online again soon!
Unless u live in a major city which is listed on the page, I would hold off on purchasing this app.
