Comments on SDRangel for Android

★★★★☆ Adam · Oct 17, 2024

SDR angel is in my opinion pretty much the best RTL-SDR software it's very versatile with so many modules it can basically replace most other TLDR software as it can do almost everything you need, on PC it's awesome but the mobile version is exactly the same as the PC version, so it is very crowded on a mobile device screen with all the buttons and controls being tiny and tricky to use, probably a lot better on a tablet screen but not so user-friendly on a phone screen, but worth having.

★★★★★ Mans Grech · Feb 23, 2023

Great piece of software. Maybe buttons a bit small for my ġid fingers but gods job

★★★★★ Joe Steve · Apr 27, 2023

This is an awesome port to android because I've always wanted to be able to decode DMR portable on my phone without a laptop. Could you also add P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 as I've wanted to decode P25 portable as well?

Can't save custom configs; ux borders on unusable

★☆☆☆☆ Sharon Duerr · Apr 21, 2025

Does not work in windows or android with the AIRSPY dongle!! don't waste your time

★☆☆☆☆ L G · Oct 11, 2023

Microscopic GUI on my phone but a really cracking program on Windows and linux

★☆☆☆☆ Fulmynato · Apr 24, 2025

A UI designed for desktops and ported as is to smartphones is pure nonsense. The application is great when used on desktop, but on the smartphone is simply unusable. There are too many tiny buttons and a lot of scrollbars on multiple windows and tabs.
