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.
★★★★☆ Auke de Jong · Jun 25, 2024
This is a really great app for mobile radio signal enthusiasts. My favorite feature is tracking signal strength with my TLDR while driving around and putting the resulting CSV data into my Google Earth later. It and also demodulate and play pretty much any signal standard if you have a good SDR plugged into your device. I'm using Android phone with OTG adapter or else Android phones with Dell USBC docking station in the car. It can be tricky to get TLDR dongle recognized with this app.
★★★★★ 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?
★☆☆☆☆ 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.
★☆☆☆☆ 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
★★☆☆☆ Nate Falke · Nov 1, 2025
Can't save custom configs; ux borders on unusable

Description by SDRangel Devs Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
SDRangel is the software frontend of a SDR (Software Defined Radio). When used with SDR hardware via USB OTG, it can be used to transmit and receive radio signals.

Modems are included for a variety of standards, including: ADS-B, VOR and ILS (aircraft); AIS and Navtex (marine); APT (NOAA weather satellites); AM, FM, SSB, M17, Packet / AX.25 / APRS, FT8 and RTTY (ham radio); Broadcast FM and DAB (broadcast radio); DMR, dPMR, D-Star and YSF (digital voice); NTSC, PAL, DVB-S and DVB-S2 (video); End-of-train; POCSAG (pager); MSF, DCF77, TDF and WWVB (radio clocks) and RS41 (radiosondes). Signals can be visualised in the frequency and time domain in 2D and 3D.

SDRangel also includes an integrated satellite tracker, Morse decoder, star tracker and maps.

SDRs supported include RTL SDR, Airspy, Lime, HackRF and SDRplay.

SDRangel was designed as a desktop application, and so will work best on tablets with large screens and a mouse or stylus.

Recent changes:
Add Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances (SID) feature.
Add End-of-Train demodulator.
Add Morse decoder feature.
