Broadcastify Police Scanner

Why You'll Appreciate Listening with Broadcastify

We built this app to provide a reliable, organized, and user-friendly platform for accessing live public safety audio. It's designed for both casual listeners and dedicated monitors, delivering clarity and convenience. Here's what makes it the top choice for scanner audio:

Largest Network of Live Feeds: Access over 7,000 live audio streams from police, fire, EMS, aviation, marine, and railroad communications. Find feeds from major metropolitan areas, small towns, and everything in between.

Intuitive Location-Based Discovery: Quickly find active feeds near you using your device's GPS, or browse by state, county, or agency name. The app makes it simple to tune into your local first responders or listen to major events anywhere in the country.

Favorite Feeds & Recent History: Bookmark your most-listened-to feeds for one-tap access. Your recent listens are saved, making it easy to jump back into a feed you were monitoring earlier.

High-Quality, Reliable Audio: Experience clear, stable audio streams with minimal buffering. The platform is supported by a vast community of volunteer feed providers dedicated to maintaining consistent and high-fidelity broadcasts.

Key Features for the Engaged Listener

Beyond basic listening, the app includes features that enhance your monitoring experience and provide valuable context:

Feed Alerts & Notifications: Stay informed about significant activity. You can enable alerts for specific feeds to receive push notifications when listener counts spike, often indicating a major incident in progress.

Detailed Feed Information & Tags: Each feed includes a description, location map, and tags indicating the types of communications covered (e.g., "Police Dispatch," "Fireground," "EMS"). This helps you select the exact channel relevant to your interests.

Discussion Forums & Community: Engage with a community of fellow listeners and experts. Many feeds have linked discussion forums where users share information, clarify radio codes, and discuss ongoing incidents.

Background Audio & Lock Screen Controls: Continue listening while using other apps or with your screen locked. Full background audio support and lock screen/media center controls give you full command of the audio playback.
