Description
Listen to live audio from over 5,300 police and fire scanners, weather radios, and amateur radio repeaters from around the world (primarily in the United States, Canada, and Australia, with more being added daily).
Features:
• View scanners that are located nearest you, sorted by distance.
• View the top 50 scanners that have the most listeners (list updated every 5 minutes).
• View list of scanners added most recently (new additions are being added all the time).
• Add scanners you listen to the most to your Favorites list for quick access.
• Browse the directory of scanners by location or genre (public safety, air traffic, weather, railroad, etc).
• Enable notifications to be notified when lots of people (such as over 1000, for example) are listening to any scanner (indicating that something big is happening). You can also be notified when scanners located near you (or specific scanners of your choosing) have more than a certain number of listeners.
• Add Scanner Radio Pro widgets and shortcuts to your phone's home screen for quick access (app cannot be installed on SD card to access them).
• Add a "Scanner Radio Pro Favorite" shortcut to your home screen to launch a scanner feed via an alarm clock app or automation app.
• Listen to Broadcastify.com's audio archives to listen to audio that's been archived over the past 30 days. Note: You *must* have an account on Broadcastify.com and purchase their "Premium Membership" ($15 for 6 months) in order to access their archives using the app. One use for this feature is to have a scanner feed begin playing when your phone connects to a specific Bluetooth device and then have it stop when the connection to that Bluetooth device is no longer present.
In addition to the above features, you also get the following features with this version of the app:
• The ads are removed.
• The ability to record the audio.
• The Pro version allows you to adjust the sound of the audio via an equalizer (version 4.x of the app only, does not work on the Galaxy S4).
• The Pro version adds player controls to the lock screen (version 4.x of the app only).
• The play button at the top of the directory screens and on the widgets can be used to start listening without having to go to the player screen.
• With the "Scanner Radio Pro Locale PlgIn" plug-in is also installed you can have Locale/Tasker launch the app and have one of your Favorites automatically begin playing based on one or more conditions or have the app stop playing.
The audio is provided by volunteers (primarily for Broadcastify.com) using real scanner radios.

Explanation of why various permissions are needed:
• The "Location" permission is required so that the app can determine what scanners are located in your area when you click on "Near Me". When you click on "Near Me" the app first attempts to determine your location via the network, if that fails the app then tries to determine your location via GPS.
• The "Photos/Media/Files" permission is required in order for the app to support the ability for you to record the audio you're hearing and be able to save it to a location that you can access from your computer (requires Scanner Radio Pro to be installed or for you to be using Scanner Radio Pro).
• The "Wi-Fi connection information" permission is needed so that the app can determine whether or not Wi-Fi is enabled and whether the app is currently using that connection. This functionality is used to allow you to restrict scanner listening to only when you're on Wi-Fi.
• The "Device ID & call information" permission is needed by the app so that it can detect when you're placing a phone call (or when one is being received) so that it can automatically stop the streaming of the audio to prevent it from interfering with the call.

Reliable and easy to use, but needs Pebble support. Having tried multiple scanner applications, this is by far the best. Not only does Scanner Radio Pro look great with plenty of customization options, but it is reliable and battery-friendly with an exceptionally large catalog, including extensive support for Australian scanners... My only complaint is the lack of Pebble and Android Wear "smart" watch connectivity.

Great ER INFO Monitoring This application adds live audio of responders in the community. Scanner Radio makes a great disaster resource of locally occurring emergencies for inclimate weather, fires, floods, hurricanes etc... And distant disasters.
Louis Berding

5 Star All The Way This is the best Scanner out there. I can not believe how great the interface is set up. It is so clear and easy to read. It is also so easy to move around the different screens and to see exactly what you want. Please do not change a thing on this app. I wish other app would take note on how well laid out this app is. Thanks. :)

I have no control at all over whether any particular feed is online or offline, that's completely dependent upon the volunteer that provides the audio for the feed in question for Broadcastify.com, they're the *only* person that can can control the computer and scanner radio they're using to provide the audio with. GordonEdwards.Net LLC January 20, 2015
The volunteer that provides the audio for the particular feed you're listening to needs to correct a problem with the scanner they're using to provide the audio with for Broadcastify.com. I recommend letting them know via the "Report a Problem" button on their feed's page on Broadcastify.com since they may not be aware of the issue.
Works Great! Used for listening to what's going on in area, fires, or how crowded it is in area, etc...wish South Lake Tahoe, CA PD was back on the scanner/broadcastify though! Been over a yr or so since they were last on!
GordonEdwards.Net LLC May 24, 2013
I let the volunteer that provides the audio for that feed (for Broadcastify.com) know about the problem (by going to http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/10664 and clicking on the "Report a Problem" button). GordonEdwards.Net LLC March 3, 2015
When you're listening to a feed you're listening to a physical scanner that is scanning multiple channels (that is operated by a volunteer for Broadcastify.com). GordonEdwards.Net LLC March 1, 2015
The volunteer that provided the audio for that feed for Broadcastify.com must have decided to no longer provide it or they're no longer able to do so. Perhaps someone else in the area will volunteer to provide a similar feed for Broadcastify.com, if they do it'll be listed in the app's directory automatically. GordonEdwards.Net LLC February 16, 2015
The only way that can happen is if someone in your area volunteers to provide an audio feed for Broadcastify.com Absolutely great! Active developer who is constantly working to improve his products, and even takes suggestions seriously. Thank you!
What's New
• Fixed a problem which resulted in the app not being able to communicate with the directory servers under certain conditions.
• Fixed a problem that resulted in the app reporting that it was buffering audio while at the same time playing audio.
