Comments on Scanner Radio - Police Scanner for Android

★★★★★ Tiffany Martin · Jun 5, 2026

Works pretty great, even for the free subscription! You can listen in all over the world and in numerous areas. Comes in handy if you hear sirens and need to know if you need to keep an extra eye out on what's going on around you! Highly recommend!

★★★★★ January December · May 20, 2026

Just be so cool: so maybe nothing happens a protocol. Has to reach sign 10-22 see ا/ا () when you confirm that is in fact that person sends a letter signatures and send back depending on nature of responsibility ongoing will be remailed information what I see is a line of signatures that need to formation leading too noted no harm no foal no correction needed ps Alli

★★★★★ B.J “Bjg” Glancy · Apr 19, 2026

I have always enjoyed listening to scanners, and this one is great. My radio shack scanner doesn't send me a notification that something important, or I might want to listen too, is going on, like this app does....lol Thank you kindly ☺️ 🐾, Bj

★☆☆☆☆ Joshua Cronin · Apr 17, 2026

So I purchased a full version of this app a while ago. There is no separate pro version on the play store. How do I restore my purchase? I won't be paying a subscription.

★☆☆☆☆ Jason Parks · Jun 15, 2026

Used to be good... Now on S25 Ultra Android kills it consistently, and I can no longer rely on it for alerts unless it's in the foreground or actively playing audio. Which destroyed its purpose and my use case scenario. Unless devs have some workaround? It's sadly no longer a usable app for me.

★★☆☆☆ Jason Arnold · Jun 3, 2026

This app is starting to lose its prime reason for being a scanner app. As of lately every time there is an event the feeds go offline. The whole point is to listen to the action. Example June 2 to 3rd Bakersfield CA. there is a hostage situation. Nope, feed is down. Nevada city, CA. man hunt, nope feed is down. The list goes on.

★☆☆☆☆ ke4mcl ke4mcl · Apr 22, 2026

Bait and switch. Free for 3 days then a subscription. Nope
