Squawster - Police Scanner

Squawster plays public radio feeds and organizes incident-related updates from supported areas.

Our take

Choose it for listening to public feeds rather than relying on a complete emergency warning system.

Background audio, geographic browsing and optional Calls playlists support extended listening.

Keep in mind: Feeds and incident notices can be delayed, incomplete or unavailable; listener surges do not confirm the nature of an event.

What you can do

  • Public radio feed browsing
  • Background audio and incident notifications
  • Optional talkgroup playlists and archives

Good for

  • Listeners following public Broadcastify feeds

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone requiring official emergency dispatch or guaranteed alerts

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.4.
  • Feeds and incident notices can be delayed, incomplete or unavailable; listener surges do not confirm the nature of an event.

Privacy & permissions

Favorites, followed areas and notifications reveal interests or locations; consider lock-screen visibility and cloud sync choices.
