It works ok on my phone. But the biggest problem is with the app layout, many of the buttons on the bottom are "behind" the Android navigation bar, making it hard to tap and do anything with the app.

Mason Butler

Not sure what bugs you just fixed, but overnight my app is now stuck in full-screen mode and the record button has disappeared.

Capable and a much better (albeit still has issues) UI than alternatives. Held back significantly by paid options, and not being able to adjust bandwidth and other small things. My main gripe, really, is recording being a paid option. I think most of the others are reasonable-ish. Overall, I think I would be able to comfortably rate this higher if the recording option wasn't part of the package of paid items.

Could be better. For rtl-tcp, you are forced to use IP addresses. You can't even enter a hostname. Reception is quite choppy, an issue that I don't have with other SDR apps on the same phone.

useful app. went with the paid version to have it continue playing in the background but when I ever enable that setting it crashes on start up with an error foreground sticker socket connection refused message.

Jason Wilsey

paid for the app, had to uninstall reinstall and now I have free version without squelch. tap 3 dots at the top then upgrade then restore purchase DOES NOT WORK, give me my money back!!!

I like the app. It's very easy to use. Found a local site to listen to and compare signals. The cost is too high to purchase in my opinion as I NEVER pay more than 5 bucks for any app. Maybe I'm cheap but it's just for amusement only. No real contacts are made because it's for listening only and my radio is much better. It needs a decoder package for digital signals too.. something else I do with my radio.. no wefax either. Anyway its a good start and fun to listen when I'm away and bored.

Loaded it on my android stereo in my 4x4 so I could listen to ham radio and what not when camping. App installed fine and looks the business, but can’t hear anything. No audio at all. The app has an audio device section but that’s set to default and I can’t change it.
