OpenMHz App Reviews

The Future of Scanner Apps!. Really great app that truly sets itself apart from all the other scanner apps. Being able to select specific talkgroups or agencies / “groups” (ie “All Fire/EMS”, “CFD Fire”, etc) is super valuable. The archive function is another notable feature — the ability to easily jump back to a certain day/time is awesome. Those are just a few of the features that make OpenMHz ideal for more advanced listeners looking to customize their experience. On the other hand, everything is also very straightforward and easy to use, making it an ideal “plug & play” choice for beginners and advanced scanner enthusiasts alike. I have used pretty much every scanner app offered on iOS, and to summarize in one sentence; OpenMHz is the future and makes all the other scanner apps feel like they are running Windows 95 in 2023.

Rubbish. All I have is a black screen, no sound, just a search bar in where I’ve entered the desired info and BLANK. Rubbish!!

Needs iPad landscape mode... Needs iPad landscape mode.. nobody uses their iPad in portrait all the time. I’m confused on stations .. either it only covers stations that are odd and not in my areas (Texas!) or I don’t understand how to find them? Interface is clunky. I like the idea of the archive.. but I don’t want to listen to some farmer’s emergency network in BFE…

Great app.. Fantastic for listening without a radio, however the inability to save your "favorite" channels or systems requires extra time to find or input exactly what you want to listen to.

It’s free and it works, but not user friendly. Scrolling down the list of saved broadcasts, the list on the right just notes the time but not the day! If I wanted to check out what happened a week ago, that would be a lot of scrolling and impossible to keep track of the exact day I wanted. Maybe a way to jump from day to day would be helpful. I’d also like a way to favorite the location I listen to. Thank you. Also, does this not stay active in the background?

Poor. Have an IPhone, it doesn’t save where you want to listen If you minimize it, half the time it closes the app out once you choose a location to listen too… Needs a lot of work, will stay with the web based ….

New Favorite App. I work in Philadelphia and love listening to this in the background where I work. I used to bring in a Uniden BCD436HP scanner but there are a lot of simulcast issues in the area. This is actually a lot better than using a scanner because it queues up the calls, so you don’t miss anything. My only wishlist items would be a way to “favorite” a system so I don’t have to find it each time and CarPlay support.

OpenMHZ is Amazing!. Excellent application and system. OpenMHZ is a great tool for first responders. The ability to go back and listen to radio traffic is a nice feature for training and recaps. By the way it's free! Thank you for all of the hard work and for making this available.

Five Stars for simply doing this. Luke, just downloaded and started to play with this on iOS and Ventura/Mac/OS. Thanks for doing this. Had a couple of crashes already, but not to worry.... Do you have a support / funding link? Like to make a contribution to your noble effort.
