There are so many pop up, and other, ads on this app that it is barely usable. It takes you numerous steps to get TO the scanner area. During the time that you are listening, there are ads that constantly greet you. I can see maybe 1-2 at the beginning, but their ad count is out of control. In addition, many of the police or fire that you want to listen to are offline. Sometimes, even if they are online, there is very little traffic. The ad BOMBARDMENT is what kills it. Trying another one.

This used to be a good app but now it's been enshittified for more profit. I downloaded it the other day to get an idea of what was going on in my area based on the large amount of sirens, and got nothing but advertisements to upgrade to premium and eternal connection loops for everything that I tried to listen to. Don't be so passive aggressive, just tell us that we can't use your service anymore unless we pay.

For some reason my paid subscription status is not showing up and now I'm getting ads again and unable to access most of the stations. I've had this app for years and have never had a problem until now. Restore my paid subscription status as I paid for a full year in March 2026 and can prove it. I have sent an email as well. Will change my rating back once resolved.
