How does this work?
Clicking the “Test drive now” button launches a copy of this app on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a web service that provides on-demand compute capacity in the cloud for developers. When you interact with the simulated phone using your mouse and keyboard, we send those inputs over the Internet to the app running on Amazon EC2 — just like your mobile device would send a finger tap to the app. Our servers then send the video and audio output from the app back to your computer. All this happens in real time, allowing you to explore the features of the app as if it were running on your mobile device.

Just played with it for several minutes. It does work. This app pulls the live streams from a website which stream all the police radios online. So technically it does not "scan" police radio, but it does allow you to listen to the channels on your android devices as long as you have wifi or data connection (and the radioreference.com site is alive). Note that sometimes you hear nothing because there is nothing going on in that channel.

The only thing keeping this app from being fun is that, as other reviewers mentioned, it does not keep your setting. So why not just go online, find the stream site for the specific channel you ant to listen to, and bookmark it?

Works, settings not kept June 29, 2011
By Aaron
Amazon Verified Purchase
Tried it. Seems to require settings to be re-entered on Droid Charge...

If you exit the app and re-launch it. You will have to re-enter location info each time. (at least I found I had to). The time needed to re-enter info outweighs the "fun factor" for this app.

Uninstalled...
