I am having connection issues - if I listen to scanner for a while then I have to kill the app to stop audio - I come back a few hours or day later... I can't connect to scanner anymore without a reboot of the scanner - I assume this is related to the app not stopping audio and a overflow or something.
Sort of a bad deal bug here.

Wait, where does iTunes get the old app version from? Does it get it from Apple? Or does it get the previous version from your last backup of your phone? I think that's more likely. But if that's the case I'm screwed, because I haven't backed up my phone for six or seven months, long before Siren was released.

Sent you a PM . I will explain. I have the old siren IPA

New bug
If I have scanner running then have audio take over .. Let's say watching a video in Facebook app. The scanner app can't recover after Facebook stops playing sound - when you go back to the siren app it locks up and crashes to restart.

I did that for me too. I went back to the first version and got the Bluetooth feature that does not work in version 2.

I've given the latest Siren App some time to function in Access Point for my vehicle's scanner, which uses a "de-commissioned" iPhone 4 as the remote head.
I'm still seeing Sig:Null show up quite often, pretty much the same as it did with the initial release.
Also I have to go through the Settings>Connection each scanning session. It does not automatically re-start.
Bottom Line: Access Point pretty much functions the same way.

Siren App "World Wide"?
I noticed in an advertisement that you could use the App and listen world wide. I currently have the scanner connected to my home Wi-Fi network. Might be a silly question, but could someone explain to me how I can use the App and listen to my scanner AWAY from my home?
Thanks in advance!

You have to set your router up using virtue private network "VPN" and the same on your iPhone
I have a Asus router and it was pretty simple to do. I now can stream siren outside of my home wifi network

I have a ASUS router.I have VPN turned on with a user name such as "SCANNER" and password than save it..
1 You must go to your iPhone under general VPN and add a VPN Cconnection
2.Add the server ID from your router
3.Account is what you named it on your router.
4. Password is the password you used on VPN connection that you used on the router
5. Save it using PPTP
6.Last step is turn on VPN under settings on your phone

A completly useless application. They could have given us a real analyze feature as GRE has had for 5 years. Instead there are numerous problems and a bunch of crap no one needs.
Just my 3 cents. !!

I just bought an iphone 4 off ebay fro 50 bucks. Has anyone been able to solve the reconnect issue? I plan on updating to ios7 or 8 when I get it.
Also, one thing I did not see mentioned in all the threads. Can the app be used to turn the scanner on and off?

Really. Well then it is not very use full as a "REMOTE HEAD". Would not make much sense to have to go to the truck all the time. I hope that comes soon.
I'm using an iPhone 4 and have reconnect issues - have to manually do it after every shut down. My "regular" iPhone 5 with IOS 8 will reconnect just fine. So if you can get IOS 8 into your iPhone 4, that might do the trick.
An even bigger issue, at least in my view, is that the "remote" will not control scanner volume. Hopefully they can deal with that. I suppose a remote speaker could be connected to the iPhone headphone jack, but that seems a little cumbersome.
