About Lookout

In one sentence

Lookout brings police and fire scanners, live road cameras, crash reports, weather warnings, planes overhead and local news together in one iPhone app, for exactly where you are.

In a paragraph

Lookout is a free iPhone app that keeps watch on what's happening around you. It finds the live police, fire and EMS scanner feeds for your county, what drivers are reporting on the road, the public cameras closest to you, the planes overhead, recent earthquakes, local headlines and official National Weather Service warnings, all updated as you move. Its Drive mode turns the phone into a glanceable screen that reads new warnings aloud and shows the camera on the road ahead. Lookout has no accounts, ads or tracking. An optional subscription, Lookout Pro, adds live radar, Drive mode, background warning alerts and more.
