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.

I give it two stars because of the number of channels it gives you. However, a lot of the local channels are offline. The ones that are online, and you are able to listen to, will NOT connect. It keeps saying "reconnecting in __ seconds", and will never connect when the timer runs down. Fix the issue of never connecting, and it would be a good app.

Hi, sorry about this. The content is by volunteers who used the real scanner to receive the content and uploaded it to the internet. However, maybe it is not everywhere and maybe not 24*7 online. We will try our best to enrich the content, to deliver better user experience. For more info, please reach us at contact@policescanner.us. Thanks a lot!

Terrible app. It's been successful in connecting about 10% of the time. Most of the time it says "connecting", then it counts down and says "reconnecting", and continued to count down. This goes on and on. I'll use an app that actually lets me hear the police bands. Oh, and while it's trying to connect, it repeatedly shows inappropriate ads. No thanks.
