so not sure where to post this but have to share....so i am on the way to work listening to the scanner on my s2 .....look up and d@mn bubblegums...so i swerve on over and mr officer cruises on up and tells me going a little fast huh and why do i hear a scanner...so i hold up my s2 and explain that there is obviously a delay because i didnt hear my lic# go through...so he takes my s2 and starts fingering it and says that is great ....coolest thing he has seen a phone do ...tells me he is due for an upgrade so i suggest the s2 and he laughs and says you know i can just give you a warning this time ...... ROCKIN OUT WITH MY S2 OUT....

HAHA thats awsome. So what is this scanner thing? How does it work? is it free?

[addictedwayz]

Yes the scanner is free its the bb scanner can download from crackberry mobile and hit the link that says free storm apps....that is the only way i know haw to get there but blackberry internet service is down so good luck...

Dont have my S2 back yet so I can wait! Getting one in a trade for my Droid (ugh) tomorrow. Hopefully the servers will be back up by then!!

[Quasar3210]

Unless something changed recently that I am unaware of, you get a 7 or 14 day trial free and then the app costs $2.99 and it is good for life no matter how many times you switch devices and it covers ALL software updates for life.

[addictedwayz]

I hope the servers are up tonight!!!!!! so didnt like the droid i see

[Ponderous]

As a cop, I just pray that apps like this are used for the right reasons.

[addictedwayz]

i have had this app for about 2 months still free it does give me the option to buy it but you can listen to a frequency for 10min then it tells you to buy app but if you change frequncy before 10min you can go back and forth and not have to pay....its cool app i might just pay the 2.99 so i dont have to deal with the hassle....

[BergerKing]

Well, there have been a few times I've used the BBscanner app to help find out what was going on during traffic situations. It is a handy app to have. I will soon be glad to pay the $2.99 for the full app, it is sweet to have.

totally.....i use it to hear about accidents on the route ahead...i get info way before this BLOCKED TRAFFIC app....totally worthless unless your leaving in an hour...

As a cop, I just pray that apps like this are used for the right reasons.

[irisheyes419]

totally worth the 2.99.......i just wish my local pd and state troopers were on it too....i posted a wanted add on CL looking for a digital scanner so i could try to figure out with radioreference.com how to broadcast....

[triton302]

Its a neat app to have. A couple of weeks ago when the incident in Florida happened I was listening in along with a few THOUSAND listeners, and even heard when they had the shooter in custody.

And yes I do agree, coming from a family with a lot of law enforcement background, that this app should be used for the right reasons. Besides... I don't think bad guys are smart enough to have Blackberrys

hahaha great story

[cain0013]

That's a cool story. My dad was a cop for over 20 years, so I also hope this app is only used for good things. I'm going to try out the free trial. It sounds like it would worth buying.

Great app but has about a 2-3 min delay. I run rescue and thought I might be able to use it for my calls but was a little slow in receiving the transmission

I am also in the service, there is no way I would use it for my dispatch calls..

Got a mobile, portable and pager for that..... I don;t even depend on my text messages we are sent as up to the min. updates.


But it's a good app to check up on my feed I provide and also checking up on other area's

[adambigge]

It is a pretty cool app. I used it for a while with my curve. I just wish my city was listed. The adjacent county departments are but not mine. Oh well. I don't need to listen when I'm not at work anyway.
