Let’s you listen to HF Bands around the world. Real time 👍. Not like other apps, just recording not real time. Make you think 🤔 it’s the real thing but not. Would be nice if you can use it as a landscape on your iPad? Only portrait view .. 👌

Thanks for the review! Screen rotation will be added in the future, I have it marked but I need to check the behavior and layout of the screen after rotation. Thanks
Great app to listen to sw/hf radio

Nice way to listen to shortwave/hf radio when you can’t use a regular radio.

Thank you very much for the review!
-Maximization mode for a larger waterfall and spectrum.
-Squelch on the main screen.
-The last selected frequency remains selected after restarting the application.
-Noise reduction controlled by the NR knob has been adjusted for all clients, except for KiwiSDR/Web-888, where a dedicated control remains.
-The app reopens on the receiver and client you last used.
-OpenWebRX:
Band chip on the spectrum - tap to see and switch the receiver's profiles.
Tuning arrows stay within the current band.
-Free version:
S-meter dBm no longer wraps with larger system fonts.
-Fixed a crash on iPhone that could make the app freeze and then close, especially while playing audio in the background.
