   There are ads, and there are ADS!!!!!!!   
      
   I'm currently on Android (kids using the iPad) and I accidentally hit the   
   "clean" button a month or so ago in ES File Explorer on Android, which, who   
   knew? wipes out *all* the APKs ever installed *anywhere* on the entire   
   device, internal or external!   
      
   So I lost my old version of the 50scanner which worked just fine by having   
   unobtrusive ads which did not, as I recall, prevent you from *listening* to   
   the transmissions.   
      
   This *new* version of 50 scanner free *constantly* pops up OBTRUSIVE ads   
   that KILL the transmission, where it's to the point of being *useless*.   
      
   It wasn't originally that way.   
      
   So, I'm sure there are *other* scanners which haven't gotten their ads to   
   the point that the ads make the software useless.   
      
   Certainly 50 Scanner Lite, which *you* turned me on to in the first place,   
   maybe a year or so ago, was fine in the "olden days" (on both iOS and   
   Android).   
      
   But now, the free version (at least on Android) is utterly useless.   
   Not even worth installing.   
      
   Hence my question ... what free scanner do people use that is still useful?   
   (ads are ok - but ads that prevent the tool from working are NOT ok)
