Does its job, and seems to be on time a little better than other police scanner apps that my friends have had. This app seems to relay information a few seconds quicker than most. I wouldve given it 5 stars, but 2 things prevented that .... 1. I am currently reinstalling the app because all of a sudden i hear nothing when i hit play... Not second or minutes are counting and nothing plays. At first i thought just not much action, but i listened for a long period of time and heard nothing.. 2. It can be impossible to understand sometimes because of how staticy the communications come in. I know it can't possibly be that way on their radios (the cops, ambulance, etc) or they'd never know what they were doing. Obviously we can't expect the same quality as what they would get but i feel like I should at least be able to understand somewhat clear always.

I like the app it works well the only disappointing part is it shuts off when my screen shuts off or if I spend any time in a different app. I would like for it to stay on, running in the background until I shut it down myself other than that it works great. UPDATE- the shutting off is a real pain in the ass it doesn't run more than 10 minutes without having to restart dropping my rating from a 3 to a 2

I have a few issues with the app but I enjoy using and listening to what I can. First, not all channels are shown in my area. Also, there are times when it intermittently picks the signal up/plays audio out on my phone. The app will flip from pause to play making audio choppy and unrecognizable. Last issue I have is that the bar it leaves in the notifications for the shortcut to play/pause audio will sometimes stay there even when force closing the application until I restart my phone.
