Havasu Scanner Feed 3.0

Official Android Release

We rebuilt the Android app from the ground up for members who want faster alerts, live scanner audio, incident maps, archives, and cleaner access to Havasu Scanner Feed content from one place.

Version 3.0 is no longer just a list of headlines. It is a full member app for live activity, scanner monitoring, incident browsing, push controls, resources, and account support.

What Members Get In 3.0

The new app is designed around the way members actually use HSF: checking the map, reading reports, listening live, replaying archives, and choosing the alerts that matter most.

Incident Map First

Open directly to a map of recent mapped incidents, with quick time-range controls for 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours. Arrest reports stay separate from incident mapping.

Headlines With Control

Browse Incidents, Arrests, and Press Releases in a cleaner dark interface. Members can pin important posts and control how many items show in each section.

Live Scanner Mixer

Start LHCPD, LHCFD, and MCSO individually, listen to more than one at a time, use background audio, open the Mixer, and stop streams from inside the app.

Scanner Archives

Replay recent hourly recordings by agency, including today and prior archive days, with a player-style interface built for catching up after the fact.

Smarter Push Alerts

Choose which categories appear in Headlines and which ones send push alerts. Quiet Hours can mute non-priority or priority alerts depending on member preference.

Member Tools Built In

Account Management, Contact HSF, Resources, Codes, Warrants, Sex Offender link, phone shortcuts, and the Emergency Services book are all easier to reach.

What You May See During Install

Because the app is installed directly from Havasu Scanner Feed, Android may show Google Play Protect screens. These are normal and help confirm the file is safe before installation.
