Comments on SDR driver for Android

★★★★★ Andrew Thomas · Jan 20, 2025
Works excellently with RTL-SDR dongles. Great to have it, so we can easily use SDR scanners on Android.
★★★★☆ Robert Berg · Jan 8, 2024
I use this in conjunction with SDR Touch on my phone and love it, I just wish they would bring the driver and SDR Touch to Chrome OS devices.
★★★★★ Danny Brewer · Mar 13, 2020
Works on pixel 3XL with cheap RTL radio and OTG adapter.
★☆☆☆☆ Greg West · Jan 8, 2021
Miserable interface and I'm definitely NOT paying $10 just to get the waterfall
★☆☆☆☆ Drew TuTwenty · Sep 2, 2020
Seems it's not optimized for any recent droid releases at least 9.0 Pie seems to not work at all maybe one day I sent back all the equipment already since it was worthless for now.
★☆☆☆☆ Adespotos AplhaStray · Jan 17, 2021

This app is released under GPL2+ as a derivative work of rtl_tcp and libhackrf. The source code can be found at https://github.com/martinmarinov/rtl_tcp_andro-
