Radio Police Scanner, 5-0 Radio Police Scanner Lite

Description:

$200 bucks and you can purchase a really nice police scanner or you could use this iPhone App to get the same great live news from police scanners and firefighters.  The app also allows you to monitor marine, emergency, aircraft and ham radios.  If there are any major events happening in town, you will know before anyone else.  This app is on version 18.0 and has been receiving some great reviews from the scanner community.  The app can be entertaining, but professional and volunteer civil servants can use this app to stay up to date when they are not on duty.

This isn’t for the kids though unless you don’t mind them hearing some really frank speech and some vulgarity.  It’s a free country and ham operators can often times use that free speech right.  This great app was developed by Dr. James Leung and it has already received some terrific response with over 2 million downloads.  The app is also available on the iPad.  There is a pay app version for 1.99 that includes additional feeds and adds a search feature that allows for keyword and feed position memory.

If you hate traffic and don’t want to sit through a lot of commercials and music just to find out what is going on, then you can use this app to find out before others about any traffic incidents.  This makes this app a great time saver!

Features:

• Radio Scanner for Police, Firefighters and Emergency Workers
• Listen in on Hamm Radio Operators
