App's Description:-
Listen to live audio from over 4,000
police and fire scanners,
weather
radios, and amateur radio repeaters from around the world (primarily in
the United States and Australia, with more being added daily) on your
phone.
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audio archives to listen to audio that's been archived over the past 30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.
In addition to the above features, you also get the following features with this version of the app:
* The ads are removed.
*
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. 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.
The audio is provided by
volunteers (primarily for Broadcastify.com) using real scanner radios.
If your area is not available, see the menu in the app for information
on how to get it added.

Explanation of why various permissions are needed:
The
"Phone Calls / Read Phone State" 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.
The "Fine
(GPS) Location" and "Coarse Location" permissions are 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 "Automatically Start
at Boot" permission is required so that a small portion of the app can
be started when your phone boots if (and only if) you turn on the
notifications feature of the app (that feature is turned off by
default).
If the audio repeats or the app stays connected for only
a short time, try returning to a directory screen in the app, then
select "Settings" from the menu, then "Player settings", and then try
changing the "Streaming method" setting.
