Works great

rtl_tcp running in a Linux (Ubuntu) VM on a cheap $249 (2024 dollar) PC. Works great on my iPhone at home, or from anywhere on earth with a VPN connection home.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. Glad you are enjoying the app!

A basic, stable tcp set client

This is a basic “radio” app for listening to AM, nb FM (like NOAA weather radio), and wb FM (FM broadcast). Does not do SSB. Minus one star for not supporting stereo FM. Hopefully in a future version!

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! More modes are on the roadmap.

this app is incredible

deserves every star. thank you for developing this on iOS, there are no alternatives.

Cool app

Great app if you have list of known frequency’s you want to monitor
It’s one of those nice apps where it’s simple / obvious to use with the exception of importing your CSV. It would be helpful if the pop up telling you there’s nothing to import also tells you that you can also use the file share feature to import 😀

Needs SSB modulation

Great app for storing interesting frequencies. There is no SWLing logging app for iOS and this is the closest I could find. A few features that would make this a killer app: -

1. Addition of USB and LSB modulation would be useful for storing VLF and aeronautical frequencies such as Volmets.
2. Date and time that frequencies were heard.
3. Integration with online station ID databases.
4. A waterfall would be amazing!

Great software

Loving the software. It took a bit of figuring out to get it working, but now that it’s done it’s amazing. The only thing that would be really helpful to add is the ability to tap the frequency and manually type the frequency, rather than having to constantly hit up and down to change it. thanks for all your hard work with this software.

Great for streaming local radio

App is great for streaming any of my local stations and sports broadcasts while as close to home as doing yard work or driving on the other side of the nation!

Simple server with an FM antenna plugged into a Raspberry Pi and this app allows me to save presents to tune those stations. Great simple interface and significantly cheaper than paying for MLB.tv/NBA League Pass/NFL+ or SiriusXM. Plus NO DELAY since it's right from the radio feed. Can't recommend enough!

Works great with an RTL-SDR Dongle

Love this app. Super simple and stable. I would LOVE the addition of SSB modes (LSB and USB) so I could listen to what's happening on the HF ham bands. For now, it's perfect for monitoring my local FM repeaters and FM broadcast stations. I work in a concrete building that can't get any radio signal. Being able to connect to my Raspberry Pi at home that has a cheap RTL-SDR dongle plugged in to it, is a really nice thing to have. If you guys ever add a SSB and a waterfall, this will be the BEST SDR app for iOS no doubt. Keep being awesome devs! Thank you!

Great app that does everything I need

As a newbie to all things SDR, I was looking for a clear, straightforward app to meet my particular needs - to monitor marine vhf channels remotely around the house on my iPhone, whilst still making use of the roof aerial.

This App meets those needs perfectly.

It allows me to create a list of channels/frequencies to monitor and easlily move between them.

I had a user error problem with setting up the the other parts of my system (the SDR dongle and raspberry pi), nothing to do with the app. However, the help section within the app itself, and some really great extra help from the developer, who responded really quickly to my email query, got that part sorted straight away and all is working perfectly.

I am looking forward to finishing off my home set up with the roof aerial installation this week, safe in the knowledge that the rest of the system is ready and waiting to make best use of it.

Funktioniert

SDRplay und rsp_tcp funktioniert ohne Probleme. So wie auf der Webseite beschrieben. 👍

Doesn’t work on HF AM

It’s only works on VHF air and for AM. FM modes work fine.

Very Good App for RTL_TCP

It works great with my Raspberry PI with two SDR USB Sticks.

A perfect feature would be that a second stream could be decoded parallel.
Left Audio: stream 1
Right Audio: stream 2

E invece funziona!

Sicuramente migliorabile, un waterfall non ci starebbe male. A chi pensa di aver buttato i soldi (nei commenti) consiglio di leggere le descrizioni prima di fare acquisti.

The app is working perfectly

Keep up the great work - perfect Service!! Thank you!

Money grabber.

Update: Program is a come on regarding HF coverage. You’ll also need an up converter, which I bought and opened another can of operational worms. Still only one star.

Original: You buy it then they tell you what it needs to work. $10.00!!!

Response from developer

The App Store description clearly states that SDR Receiver requires a radio, a host computer and corresponding server software which are not provided with the app and which must be separately installed and configured. SDR Receiver supports the Airspy HF+ and Discover radios, and SDRPlay radios which all provide HF coverage. The RTL-SDR radio operates from about 30 MHz up, and a V.3 RTL-SDR radio can also operate at HF via Direct Sampling mode which is supported. If you would like to operate SDR Receiver with an up converter please contact SDR-Receiver-Support@TransitionTechnologyVentures.com.

SdrPlay a no go.

Still punching around, but this refuses to recognize my sdrplay as claimed. And where is the waterfall as described?

Response from developer

SDR Receiver does support SDRPlay radios via the rsp_tcp server application which is provided free of charge by SDRPlay and which runs on PC, Mac and Raspberry Pi. Please contact sdr-receiver-support@TransitionTechnologyVentures.com for help in getting it working properly. SDR Receiver does not have a waterfall display. A waterfall display is not described anywhere in the App Store listing or in the documentation.

La colpa è di chi vi fa vendere queste bufale

The app I waited for !

Very nice app to use with iPhone or iPad.
Great involved support.
A must have.

Amazing

Works great on first try with rtl_tcp hosted on OSX.

Non funziona

Soldi buttati
