## What is Robot72?

Robot72 turns pictures into slow-scan television (SSTV) audio, and SSTV audio back into pictures. Decode images from ham radio, from the International Space Station or from a friend's phone, and send your own photos to any SSTV receiver.

RECEIVE
Tap Listen and hold your iPhone near the radio's speaker. Robot72 reads the VIS header, picks the mode and draws the picture line by line. To decode a WAV recording, tap File. Reception keeps going when the screen is locked, with progress in a Live Activity.

SEND
Pick a photo, choose the mode your contact uses, add a caption if you like, and play it through the speaker or a cable into your radio. Pro also exports the audio as a WAV file.

ISS PASSES
Enter your location or use the current one, and Robot72 lists ISS passes for the next 48 hours with peak elevation and direction. Turn on reminders to get a notification a few minutes before each pass. Predictions are calculated on your iPhone from CelesTrak orbital data; your location is not uploaded.

31 MODES
Robot 8/12/24/36 BW, Robot 12/24/36/72 Color, PD 50/90/120/160/180/240/290, Martin 1–4, Scottie 1/2/3/4/DX, Wraase SC2 30/60/120/180, Pasokon P3/P5/P7.

HISTORY AND FIXES
Every picture you receive or send is kept in History with its mode and time. Fix a slanted or shifted image, then save or share it. History has no limit.

FREE AND PRO
Any mode can be decoded and viewed for free. Robot 36 and Robot 72 can be saved, shared and sent for free, with a small watermark. To save or send one picture in another mode, watch a short video, up to 3 times a day. Robot72 Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks every mode, removes the watermark and adds WAV export. No subscription.

PRIVACY
Audio and pictures are processed on your iPhone. Robot72 sends anonymous usage events that are not linked to you, and does not track you across apps. Rewarded videos are non-personalized; there are no banner or pop-up ads.
