Comments on FM Radio (RTL-SDR) for Android

★★★★★ Al Klein · May 12, 2024
Works very nicely. The cheap way of adding FM radio to a phone that doesn't have one.
★★★★★ Hashitha Silva · Aug 13, 2021
App is good and really needed this kind of simple app for my car setup. Only issue so far I've found there is no way to stop it and have to remove the device. Just the start button. Also, please try to add scan feature.
★☆☆☆☆ G L · Aug 28, 2022
Mono audio only. Can't find out how to make the app output in more than 1 channel. You can't start and stop the TLDR driver without closing the app completely
★☆☆☆☆ Stefano the CAT · Sep 11, 2022
Tested with some available sdr remote addresses.... No audio, nothing. And that play button that says "already started" .... Change at least the icon when connected. And there's no way to know if the App is really connected
★☆☆☆☆ Kelly Norman · Jun 6, 2021
What's up with the lies you developers claim there's 2 ways to use this well I don't have an usb or dongle, so I clicked on the sdr driver, but it still doesn't work
★☆☆☆☆ Ruby H. · Nov 5, 2024
Stopped working after 2nd time using it. Unplugged the RTL-SDR, plugged in again. Didn't help.

*** Announcement ***
We're proud to announce the release of our new SDR application called Spectrum SDR - you might want to give it a try some time.

This application is about having a bit of fun with those amazing little RTL-SDR dongles, whilst listening to your favourite FM radio stations in glorious retro mono. It's nice and easy to use so why not give it a try?

There are two ways to use the application. The first is to use an RTL-SDR dongle and an SDR driver, available from Google Play. Selecting the Driver option in the application menu will open the driver page on Google Play. The second way is to connect to an instance of rtl_tcp running on a remote computer, most likely over WiFi. You will need a good network connection for this to work reliably so use of the driver is probably the preferred way to use the application in most cases.

We hope you enjoy using this application.
