Mixed

Review voice lately leans mixed. Users appreciate real-time audio feeds from local emergency services provide users with immediate situational awareness in their area and live text transcriptions accompanying audio feeds allow users to follow incident details without needing constant audio focus, but report full-screen advertisements that lack a visible close button force users to restart the app entirely.

Rating: 4.6

Reviews: 444

Confidence: high

The latest update introduced live transcriptions which received positive feedback, but persistent complaints regarding non-dismissible ads and subscription gating remain active and unresolved.
