   I just installed it. My buddy used to have a scanner, we’d listen to, but I could never justify picking one up. I forgot how much fun it is to listen in!

   I have been listening to the feeds via radiorefrence.com for quite some time now. I wanted a better way to listen on my phone but the only way at the time was to use last.fm. Now I have a great app!!

   Great app and I hope it remains free however it is a battery killer. My battery on the Storm went from a 80% to a 65% in just about 4-5 minutes.
   At the same time, the app is very useful and the voice is very clear. LOL – some woman decided to do a hit and run so I got to hear the whole thing and I must say that I could easily make out every word they said… which proves how clear the reception is.

   If the app can’t download the directory when you start it you may need to enter “APN” settings for your carrier.To enter these settings, go to Options, then select Advanced Options, and then select TCP/IP. On the TCP/IP APN settings screen, if there is a “APN Settings Enabled” checkbox, make sure it is checked.
