When you are in the app listening to a station you can click menu and view the 10-codes. These codes are how the police speak to each other instead of saying domestic disturbance they say 10-16 at 123 Main Street. Also in the menu is a sleep timer yes the developer had the foresight to add a sleep timer so that it can stop the scanning after a set amount of time like 10 minutes, 1 hour etc... They have a built in chat feature for that station but have not had the pleasure of anyone wanting to chat while listening.
Be warned the Top 50 scanners right now will keep your device talking for hours. There is a reason there the top and that's because there is a lot of action in those areas.
Here are some common 10-codes that might be useful while listening to Scanner Radio.
