Reviewer Comments for Scanner Radio, Android Market App
“This is one of my favorite apps yet. Stuck in traffic and see flashing lights? Fire this up, see what’s going on. Hear sirens on the back patio? Fire this up and get the scoop. I have a home scanner that we listen to, but this is much more portable, I listen to it through my car’s stereo all the time. Great app as stated using internet feeds. If you are having trouble listening, it’s definitely the feed or your carrier and not this app. Thanks dev, considering the pay version.”
Final Analysis:
Addictive, and an awful lot of fun even for it not being an Android game app. Stay abreast of local and global emergency responses. Great app to have on hand from the Android Market app store!
