What's New in SWList

1.4.6

June 16, 2026

New: Propagation & Space Weather Know the band conditions before you tune. SWList now includes a built-in space-weather dashboard built for shortwave listeners. At-a-glance summary bar on the main screen showing the current HF outlook, solar flux and K-index — tap it to open the full dashboard. Complete solar & geomagnetic picture: Solar Flux (SFI), sunspot number, A- and K-index, X-ray level, solar wind, MUF, aurora and more. Day & night band conditions for the 80–10 m range, so you can see at a glance which bands are open right now. Plain-language explanations: tap any value to learn what it means and how it affects propagation — great for newcomers. Optimized for iPhone and iPad, with a layout that adapts to your screen. Prefer a cleaner home screen? Hide the summary bar in Settings; you can still open the dashboard anytime from the Space Wx button. Where the data comes from Propagation data is delivered through our own dedicated server, which collects and caches readings from trusted public sources for fast, reliable access — with thanks to HamQSL.com (N0NBH) and NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC).

Even with the latest data base update doesn’t know radio caroline on 648 khz. I applied for refund.

Response from developer

As clearly explained, the data displayed by SWList is published and updated by Eike Bierwirth, who has been serving the SWL community since 2000 through the website eibispace.de. SWList is an app that allows users to access this list on their mobile devices and, thanks to hamlib support, it can interface with a physical receiver. Without requiring any subscription and driven by a voluntary spirit and passion for our hobby, I personally take care of updating the data based on what is published by Eike Bierwirth. I'm glad to hear that you received a refund, and I wish you all the best in listening to Radio Caroline.

Simple & Effective

Utility does straight forward, simple database filtering for SW stations based on user defined criteria. Wish the transmitter location & information page would also display the transmitter power. Keep improving it!

Finally, some usable EiBi browser!

Can you please allow searching by entering frequency in the search field? Currently the field only searches by name, and searching by frequency is rather counterintuitive. Anyway, thanks for the app, it's most usable from a very few available ones.
