Are you a shortwave radio listener (SWL) in need of an up to date set of schedules for international broadcast stations? Shortwave Broadcast Schedules is a handy app that displays broadcast schedules of about 11,000 longwave, mediumwave, and shortwave broadcast stations.

The stations are initially listed in order by frequency. You can tap a button to see which stations are on the air right now, as well as search for stations by name, frequency, time of day that they are on, or select by language, target area, or country of origin.

Stations currently on the air are displayed in bold, making it quick and easy to see which stations are on right now.

The app can keep a log of stations you have heard, with the date, time, frequency, SIO, and other notes you wish to enter. Now your device can be your personal logbook!

You can keep track of favorite stations, as well as set reminders for favorite broadcasts, so you’ll never forget about a transmission again.

Tap on a station to bring up more information about the station, such as the country of origin, target area, and programming language.

When viewing the details for a station, you can tap on the frequency, country, target, or language to get a list of all other stations with that matching value. You can also tap on Schedule to see all of the transmissions throughout the day for this station.

Updated schedules can be downloaded for free.

Get your copy of Shortwave Broadcast Schedules, and never miss listening to another of your favorite stations again.

Note: A shortwave radio is required to listen to the broadcasts.

Excellent tool for Shortwave listening

I have been using this app for a few days now and find it to be very useful. There are some navigation issues that need to be fixed such as dismissing the keyboard after making notes. I would also like some way to sort log files by frequency. As is, the list is sorted by date only. I would like to know if I have listened to this station before, so a lot of scrolling is required. But I give it 4 out of 5 stars for it’s overall design.

Used to be great but no longer

I posted a glowing review 4 years ago but now I’m not as enthralled by this app. Ever since I updated from my old iPhone 7 to an iPhone 15 with iOS 17 (currently 17.5.1) six months ago, the app has been unstable when logging a station. In particular, when writing notes on the log, the app crashes unexpectedly, wiping out everything I’ve written. Sometimes this happens two or three times. It is VERY frustrating. I have reported this problem twice this year, already, about three months apart, but the app’s developers haven’t done a thing about it. Furthermore, the Notes section is clunky, turning apostrophes and quotation marks into strings of miscellaneous symbols, i.e., gibberish. This app is long overdue for an update!

Excellent app for SWL'r

I just started using this app and I really like it. Easy to use and understand, with the on now feature makes shortwave stations identifiable even though their non English speaking stations. Logging is super easy, just a push of a button with the ability to make comments and write signal strength reports. At any price this is a very nice SWL utility.
Improvements or upgrades that I'd dream of would be a receiving station lat/Lon specific sort. As in "what stations maybe available to the east coast of North America ." Otherwise I can flip open my IPAD pro, sit it next to my listening post and enjoy what's left of the SWL bands.
