Thanks to our fans for making 5-0 Radio the #1 most downloaded police scanner app on the market. This app is one of top 100 most downloaded iOS apps since 2009. Features ====== - New “Feeds with Active Alerts” feature that shows you feeds with interesting on-going activity and breaking news happening right now along with a description of the alert, breaking info, location, and feed. - Listen to feeds in the background. You can run other apps while listening to the police. Pause the feeds via the media controls on your device. - Automatically attempts to reconnect the feed if you lose the connection. - Listen to feeds on your desktop/laptop computer. Email yourself a link to the feed, and open that link on your browser or with your favorite mp3 player. - Ability to add custom feeds - Chat with other users - The web browser also automatically detects feeds and integrates it with the radio. Now you can add feeds from the web by simply tapping on the feed's link via our browser. - Share feeds with your friends by email. They do not need to buy this app to listen with you.

Our app is always expanding and looking for new police radios to tap into. - List scanners by county.

Now you can find where the action is happening and follow along. - Built-in police/EMS/fire/military codes and phonetic alphabet for easy interpretation. Good for any beginners who do not have the proper training and have trouble remembering what the codes mean. - Save your favorites to the front screen of the app for quick one-tap access. - This app will dynamically grab a new list of sources so that you will always be the first to get any new police feeds out there. - See the popularity of each feed.

However, it is illegal in some places to use this app to aid in the commission of a crime or to pose as a police officer when you are not. It may also be illegal to use it while driving. Please consult your local laws before using this app outside of your home. Is it fake? ======= It's very real. Each feed comes from a person in that region with an expensive police scanner sharing the signal with you via the internet. Real-time ======= The delay between the real radio feed and this app is only a few seconds depending on buffering and internet speeds.

  • Ads make it unusable

    There’s really no point in having this if when you want to hear some thing you have to sit and wait for ads and then when you’re not paying attention, you realize you’ve been stuck on some other stupid ad instead of the scanner.
  • Ruined by Ads

    Ads interrupt and delay the audio feeds. Used to be great. Now it’s worthless.
  • Too many ads

    Too many ads. Can’t decide if it’s worth it. Right now, NO.

  • Skipping the ads

    I’m still able to skip ads by closing the app and reopening! Easier and faster to go back to saved channels that way

    As an avid follower of real-time events, I can’t recommend the 5-0 Radio Police Scanner app enough. It’s like having a direct line to the pulse of the city! Here’s why I love it: Comprehensive Coverage: With over 5,000 live feeds, this app keeps me informed about everything from police activity and fire incidents to emergency responses and more. It’s my go-to source for breaking news. User-Friendly Interface: The app’s sleek design makes it a breeze to navigate. I can easily search for channels based on location, whether I’m in the U.S. or elsewhere. Active Alerts Feature: The new “Feeds with Active Alerts” feature is a game-changer. It highlights ongoing incidents and breaking news, complete with descriptions and locations. It’s like having a personal news ticker. Background Listening: I appreciate that I can listen to feeds while using other apps. Whether I’m multitasking or just curious, the police scanner keeps me connected. Community Interaction: Chatting with other users adds a social element. Plus, sharing feeds with friends via email is a neat touch—no need for them to download the app! Worldwide Reach: From the United States to Canada and beyond, the app covers it all. It’s like having a global scanner in your pocket. Built-In Codes and Alphabet: For beginners (or anyone who needs a refresher), the app includes police, EMS, fire, and military codes. No more head-scratching when deciphering radio chatter! Customization: Save your favorite feeds for quick access, choose different skins, and stay ahead of the curve with hourly updates.
  • Worthless

    The federal government is now requiring channels to use encryption. And because of this, none of the feeds work or are no longer available. And now the app is charging $40 a year to provide absolutely nothing!
  • Loved for a long time but now misadvertised

    This App is listed as free but is not free, and quite expensive for the part time users. So disappointed as I used the App. as a Senior Citizen with fixed income now unable to use. Also Apple needs to remove this from their listing of free Apps.
  • Full screen ads that hide playback controls shouldn’t be allowed

    Completely ruined the app with sketchy ads that force you to open links with ad-specific button arrangement. So if you start to tap to close the ad you’ve now clicked on the junk ad link.
