Where do you expect the airband message receiver(s) to be installed?

What do you expect the app to do?

Im looking to see if there is an App that is like a tuner or scanner that i can input the frequency or tune that does not need or require being plugged up to a box..?

The app would need to access a VHF radio receiver - somewhere.  An Android phone doesn't come with a built-in radio receiver.

I was kinda hopeing that the App may come with one.. i tried that and downloaded the app and it could be just what i needed.. but i get - invalid host or no internet connection.

Oh well back to the drawing board..  but thanks anyway..

Afraid not.  The "app" is just software.  One still needs a radio receiver or SDR device.
