You can't understand half the things you hear and the majority of frequencies you want to listen to are never online. You have to pay for it and they don't offer any free version. *Update to my review: In response to your reply to my review. Just fyi. I have unfortunately bought the premium service. If there are more frequencies that are "offline" on the free app. it must be useless as well, or even more so. What you do hear actually coming from any of the frequencies is basically nothing.

recently within last few months they have added video ads that play one after another after another over top of the scanner audio thats also louder than the scanner audio so you cant hear it. when one video ends it plays another, then another. completely ruins the experience. sure, have ads, no problem. but this? excessive as he'll. gfys....only found 2 methods to avoid this. if you dont want to hear ads, dont actively view the channel you are listening to or you'll be bombarded by endless video

used to be a good app, now it only plays the ads. want to listen to scanner...even if free and need an ad to play...but that's all it does now is play ads. edit to reply to developer... Stating that as a startup you need ads. Ha, I have had this for at least 4 years, and up to last update, never had ads play over the scanner. I get having ads, but that's excessive what you are doing now. You have a problem with your last update or just want to make sure you get people to subscribe.
