You're not alone. See this thread: https://forums.radioreference.com/uniden-tech-support/368213-siren-app.html. The problem seems to be affecting Android 8 users in particular. The app needs updating!
I always like to take an opportunity to suggest anyone out here who is a smart phone app developer, make contact with Upman. Perhaps some mutually beneficial arrangements can be made.
Ditto for Bob at Proscan. Maybe if enough people ask he'll consider a mobile client.
Doubtful #6 explains why.

Right, but I was replying to a post that says
"anyone out here who is a smart phone app developer, make contact with"
I know, wishful thinking. But if a 3rd party did the client, little work for Bob. The app could sell for a reasonable fee, and Bob and the deveolper could share the revenue.
Don S. published the specs for the client communication protocol with Win 500 and someone wrote an Android client.

I can’t believe it... it’s actually working. I’ve had this scanner for 16 months and think this worked four times out of dozens of times I’ve tried.
Must be the moon. [emoji275]

iPhone.
I don’t know the pain of the Android sufferers with Siren, but the iPhone struggle has been real, at least for me.

I've had no problems with the Android version. The only reason I asked is that where your version has a "MUTE" button, the Android has "VOLUME".
Connecting was pretty easy, once I figured out the configuration. That was just me, though.
There are a few things I'd like to see updated or changed, but for the most part it does what I want.

I believe that what affects the Android Sufferers is the version of the OS in use. I have no trouble with Siren on my Samsung S4 with Android 5.0.1. But, on my S8 with 8.0, Siren acts like a violent app killer.

I can control the volume on the phone without much issue using the buttons on the side.
It continuously runs, even when I close the app. I can only shut it off if I turn the radio off or manually shut the app off.
My experience with this has been bizarre. I struggled to get it set up initially like many have. Once I did, it was flaky in operation at best. Once in a while it worked, most of the time it would not.
I just moved recently to a different town. I had a chance to fool with it last night. I reset the IP and matched the radio settings to the app and it lit right up. I went through the same protocols at my former home before and generally had poor results. Once in while it worked, more times than not it would not. I am not sure if it is the combination of me moving or what the deal is.
I am just ecstatic that it is working. Hopefully, it continues to. It's a wonderful feature.
