Comments on Scanner Radio - Police Scanner for Android

★★★★★ Frank Nadolski · Oct 5, 2026
I spend hours listening to the major events going on. A broadcasting account is mandatory to get the most out of the scanner to hear what happened before the event alert goes out. Highly recommended
★★★★☆ Amy · Oct 7, 2026
Awesome, the scanner is clear, can understand what is going on. I love the transcription history as well. Never seen that before on a Scanner App. I improvement would be to have the areas covered by that "County" as some areas have combined.
★★★★★ DeWayne Harris · Sep 10, 2026
Is there a way to hear police only? I don't need fire. Most of the time it's boring calls with fire department. It's mainly medical issues.
★★★★☆ William · Oct 21, 2026
Edit: I read through the other one-star reviews. The ads are not a problem. It does open occasionally with an easily avoidable reminder. This app is FREE. I have tried to use other scanner apps and THEY were the ones that tried for your money. Sometimes the broadcast can be hard to hear but that's their equipment. My community only has fire. Very good info wise. Most calls are falls, accidental activations, and never-mind type. A few are sad.
★★★★☆ Pamela M. · Sep 23, 2026
Not impressed with the latest upgrade. The transcript is COMPLETELY inaccurate, and I don't like that I have to put my glasses on just to look for the 3 tiny little dots in order to set the sleep timer. It was much better before. The transcript is a cool idea, but it's completely useless when you can't trust what it says.
★☆☆☆☆ Mike Smith · Sep 7, 2026
No New Zealand content. Nowhere in app to cancel 3 day trial. I just deleted my account, so hopefully I don't get charged for anything. Opting out shouldn't be hard to do. There's nothing listed in subscriptions so can't cancel the trial there.
★☆☆☆☆ Mi Bee · Aug 23, 2026
Sad. A pop-up that takes over your phone is ridiculous! Paid should be a one time purchase not a subscription. You're just profiting off volunteers providing your content. Really sad. Re response, paid should NOT be a $4/ month subscription, should be one time purchase. Last ad was tj-max, so lets email them and complain? I'm going to start letting every advertiser know this is not acceptable.
★☆☆☆☆ K S · Oct 21, 2026
Ai is not helpful so where are you? During all alerts or prompting my local for several months now, I see the scanner is connecting and then scanner offline. I've restarted Android and tried all I know. This is not an issue with the scanners. It's a local setting I never changed but can't figure out.
