Beta testers needed for BBScanner (a police/fire scanner app)
 

I'm looking for people to beta test an application I'm writing called BBScanner, this app allows you to listen to police and fire scanners from around the United States on your BlackBerry.

If you're interested, you can download the latest version OTA at http://ota.bbscanner.com. Please let me know what you think about it in the BBScanner forums at http://www.bbscanner.com

This version requires that you're using OS 4.5.0 or later.

Thanks!

Sounds interesting. I just downloaded it but will have to wait till I get off work tonight to try it out. Will let you know when I do.

Great, thanks!

Canada
 

What would hold it to scan for frequencies out of US let say like Canada ?

Pepere:?

Scanner feeds from other countries will be added to the directory soon, you can see the feeds that are currently online in Canada that will be added to the directory by going to http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?coid=2

Any chance of downloading through my computer?

At this time you can only install the app over the air.

I'm using your app right now! Works great

I must apologize for not getting back to you about your app. I did download it and it works great, but I have not had the time this past weekend and sit down and put it through it's paces to try to find any problems. I will try to do that on my day off this week. Just wanted you to know that I have not forgotten about you.

Feeds from Canada, Germany, and Australia are now included in the directory.

Wirelessly posted (9000)

I downloaded your software, I keep getting "failed to retrieve directory information and a cached copy is not available". Any ideas?

Ill give it a shot.

Do we need a data plan?

Yes, most definitely.

Awesome, I have looked for something like this before.

Works great so far on my device!

You thought about adding ATC (Air Traffic Controller) feeds from liveatc.net? That would rock some kind of hard!

+1 for ATC!
 

Another vote for air traffic control. I live under the flight path of San Diego's Lindbergh Field and I'd love to hear what's going on.

Love the app, works flawlessly.

I added logging to the app and the ability for it to send me the log to make debugging easier.

Try using the latest version (0.4.2) (available at http://ota.berryscanner.com), after it says it is unable to download the directory it should ask you if you want to send the log to me, answer Yes.

I'm guessing the problem is that the TCP/IP APN settings need to be set, one source for them is at http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.p...PN_settings%3F

Thanks,
Gordon
