Keep up to date on all of the action with Police, Fire, Rescue, Ambulance, Amateur Radio, News and more all in the palm of your hand! Now you can hear it all right as it happens around you or from around the globe.

Why spend hundreds of dollars on an old-fashoned police scanner that will only receive local frequencies, when Action Scanner can tune you in to over 3,600 feeds in 19 countries worldwide?

With so many feeds to choose from, it would be crazy to expect you to pick just one. Thats why weve designed Action Scanner to automatically scan up to 4 feeds simultaneously and seek out the action in real time. No other IOS scanner application can offer that!

Features:
* Scan up to FOUR stations at once - An Action Scanner Exclusive!
* Scan in the background - Action Scanner continues to run while you use other apps or turn your screen off to conserve your battery
* Find the most popular scanner feeds by state, county or world-wide
* Organize your favorite feeds into banks and switch between them instantly
* Find the active feed at a glance on the integrated map
* Beautiful user interface optimized for the Retina display
* Extensive coverage of Police, Fire, Emergency Services, Aircraft, Railroad, Amateur Radio Repeaters and more!

Please note that like all of the scanner apps in the App Store our feeds are provided over the Internet by individual volunteers, and we cant add or guarantee the availability of feeds for any particular area. We are confident that you will find plenty of information and entertainment regardless. If your locality isnt listed, consider becoming a feed provider - information is available at www.radioreference.com. This application and those like it in the App Store do not allow you to receive police radio frequencies directly on your device.

Action Scanner is the official iPhone app of Edmonton Fire Radio.

Pros and cons of Action Scanner - Police, Fire, EMS and Amateur Radio app for iPhone and iPad

Action Scanner - Police, Fire, EMS and Amateur Radio app good for

Quite happy with the selection of feeds. Only thing I dont like is how annoying it seems to be trying to stop on a channel manually while scanning.
Really like the new version. The new interface, the real time database updates and the ability to scan up to 4 feeds at the same time makes this the best app available, period.
Such an amazing app. Now with backgrounding its even more amazing!
So far the best Police/Ems/Fire, I can find on App store,with the new interface & options.Wow great work Geoffrey !
The ONLY Scanner app Ive found that allows the scanning of four feeds at the same time. And you can store 4 separate sets (banks) of four feeds each. Unless you need an app that records a scanner feed, this is the one to spend money on. Its regularly updated with the latest available feeds (NONE of these scanner apps supply their source feeds - so no complaints, please, that your community or desired feed isnt there - the software developer has no control over this). You can even manually add a feed url on the rare occasion you find one you want thats not available on this scanner - I did once, but only a few days later it was included in of the available updated feeds on the list. Extremely pleased with this app.
So far this is the best scanner app Ive come across, but, I would love it if this app has a sleep timer! I often listen to my scanner at night while falling asleep and it would be awesome to be able to set a timer to shut it off. I cant find this feature with any scanner app yet. That said. Still love this app!!

Some bad moments

hi, like this app, but wish i could get Fort Mcmurray alberta on this! please see what you can do :-) thanks
So, the top free app much the same as this didnt have the main region of British Columbia, Canada, which is the coastal region. I was looking for Victoria. The capital of the province. So upset I paid money for this for the exact same selection. Totally unfair.
Bad search data. No categories search. Only a dozen of countries...
Down loaded it paid $2.99 and it does nothing !! No sound no feeds ! Dont buy it ! Want my money back !
I downloaded this and are theres no Volume I dont hear anything I do not recommend it!!!!!!! Please fix this app being its rated so high!!!!!!!
It works ok but sometimes it just randomly adds channels to my banks. So annoying. All of the sudden Chicago PD shows up in my bank, or another station. So annoying I deleted the app.
