This is a cool app when it works. If I dare decide to check the weather while I'm listening to the app, the feed stops. I had paid the $15 to not deal with ads. I emailed the address given asking to not renew my premium membership. I got a rather arrogant, terse response from Lindsay C. Blanton III (ceo and founder), stating they don't automatically renew premium subscriptions. Boom, done. No, "I'm sorry", no, "we're working on it", nothing. Goodbye Broadcastify!

I think being able to go back and listen to audio archives should be free. With all the ads we listen to that should be more than enough to let us listen to archives free. You let us listen to live free. I really need to hear an archive from a certain date but have to be a premium member.

I submitted a support ticket because the app seldom even loads, and I've paid for their subscription for 1.5 years ($45). I was upset and said "fix the damn thing" This was the CEOs response: "Let me tell you something bud, I'm here to receive feedback and we're aware of the problem and working on a fix, but you can bet that I'm not going to tolerate disrespect like this. Don't renew. We don't need customers like you. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." -Lindsay C.

The app just sits on the homescreen and freezes there most of the time. The only way I can SOMETIMES get it to show the feeds is when I restart my entire phone. Not something you want to have to do when you urgently want to hear the scanner. Also the fast forward bar for the feeds needs to be more precise somehow. Navigating through 30 mins of archived audio is incredibly hard to fine tune to the right time frame on a tiny timelapse bar . Fix these issues and the app would get an A+ from me.

Fine except for the fact that it keeps stopping at around 4 to 5 min mark. And my app settings are all set to allow play in the background and made it exempt from other battery saver settings. Still does it. And it seems, based on all the other reviews with the app, that they haven't fixed this.

Would be nice if we could listen to multiple channels same time. Also show what frequency we are listening to. Like a regular scanner works.
