Are you a shortwave radio listener (SWL) in need of an up to date set of schedules for international broadcast stations? Shortwave Broadcast Schedules is a handy app that displays broadcast schedules of about 11,000 longwave, mediumwave, and shortwave broadcast stations.
The stations are initially listed in order by frequency. You can tap a button to see which stations are on the air right now, as well as search for stations by name, frequency, time of day that they are on, or select by language, target area, or country of origin.
Stations currently on the air are displayed in bold, making it quick and easy to see which stations are on right now.
The app can keep a log of stations you have heard, with the date, time, frequency, SIO, and other notes you wish to enter. Now your device can be your personal logbook!
You can keep track of favorite stations, as well as set reminders for favorite broadcasts, so you’ll never forget about a transmission again.
Tap on a station to bring up more information about the station, such as the country of origin, target area, and programming language.
When viewing the details for a station, you can tap on the frequency, country, target, or language to get a list of all other stations with that matching value. You can also tap on Schedule to see all of the transmissions throughout the day for this station.
Updated schedules can be downloaded for free.

What's New in Shortwave Broadcast Schedules
1.6
January 11, 2017
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Added a logging feature, so users can keep logs of stations they hear.
Updates for iOS 10.2.
I posted a glowing review 4 years ago but now I’m not as enthralled by this app. Ever since I updated from my old iPhone 7 to an iPhone 15 with iOS 17 (currently 17.5.1) six months ago, the app has been unstable when logging a station. In particular, when writing notes on the log, the app crashes unexpectedly, wiping out everything I’ve written. Sometimes this happens two or three times. It is VERY frustrating. I have reported this problem twice this year, already, about three months apart, but the app’s developers haven’t done a thing about it. Furthermore, the Notes section is clunky, turning apostrophes and quotation marks into strings of miscellaneous symbols, i.e., gibberish. This app is long overdue for an update!
