These radio-scanning apps save you from buying a pricey hardware scanner: You can simply install an iPhone app or Android app on your smartphone. Both app stores are well stocked with options. Some are free but there are features in some that make them worth paying for—the last thing you want is a video ad right when you're trying to get crucial info. If you just want to sit at home or in a café and watch police activity there are several scanner apps available on the app stores for macOS and Windows.
