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.
★★★★★ W M · Nov 10, 2021
Gets the SDR dongle working, super useful to get radio like airband or TV on the go.
★☆☆☆☆ Luke Mallett · Feb 15, 2021
on Start TLDR: found 0 device opening options Hack RF: found 0 device opening options ERROR STARTING! Reason: no_devices_found plugged my s4 mini in & it won't even show indicator lights on. Is it a lack if power issue?
★☆☆☆☆ 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.
★☆☆☆☆ Greg West · Jan 8, 2021
Miserable interface and I'm definitely NOT paying $10 just to get the waterfall
★☆☆☆☆ Adespotos AplhaStray · Jan 17, 2021
Crashing on my Lenovo tablet yt3-x50f model, android 6.0.1, kernel 3.10.49, android security patch 2018 September 01, when using with sdr touch Nooelec SDR SMArt.
