DroidSSTV - SSTV for Ham Radio for Android
Really do love this app...it is good and well worth the money...just wish I could get rid of the "slanting" when downloading from SDR receivers such as Twente... there are occasionally good ones but this ongoing problem persists ..using a motorola moto g... nice job Wolphie!... :)
I tried several attempts to customize the header, add text, add my qth, calls ignore, nothing saves. Does not support robot 36/72, Not a very good product for $7.
Works fine - but difficult to access menu on S7. Setting accessibility menu on phone. Can also use long click on back soft button. Several people having similar problems - if you can get to the picture slider the "picture" place-holders with green frame are the templates. Very useful as monitor app.
I have Nexus 4 cell phone. Cannot find the settings location in the app. Any body have info ? Kc7zoh
Please sort an access to menu for recent smartphones such as Galaxy S7 edge. I'm android savvy and I can't access it! Thank you!
I am not able to insert my call or text. I hope they fix it one day!!
App is about as good as it can get for a cell phone
wonder if they will add support to decode digital sstv or the sstv on 30m mp73-n
So I got the app and opened it, and nothing happens, I've played several SSTV sound clips and nothing appears on the RX screen If there's setup that needs to be performed please tell me, but otherwise I'm very disappointed with the app, or at least with the lack of instructions.
Being new to Android devices, I couldn't figure out some things with an old Chinese clone (v2.3.6) and new Acer (v4.2.2) smartphone (gifts never used until now). Wolf explained the various "menu" buttons for Android phones which was a hard to find hardware button labelled "Menu" on the old smartphone but the Acer's "menu" button is a nonsensical icon accessed with a quick double tap (other smartphones use a long press) of the multitask touch button and isn't covered in the Acer's manual at all! With Wolf's help I was able to get into all of the program and he explained some other program features. A big plus is the ability to snap a picture, select an area of it (or all), adjust the colour/tonal properties, scale it down to a 320 x 256 SSTV image with decent detail, then add a text overly all on the fly! Especially useful for EMCOMM when no Internet/Wi-Fi is available to get images to back to the EOC. The old Kenwood VC-H1 is replaced by the new DroidSSTV + Android smartphones! The tech support is what gives it a solid 5+ rating; Wolf patiently answered my all my questions which he probably has done umpteen times before for many others! FB OM ES 73 DIT DIT
There is no menu to get to setup. I long held every button on the phone and on the screen. There is no way to get to SETUP to set call sign..
This is a great app. It works flawlessly on my S3, but my new S7 Edge doesn't have a dedicated menu button and this app doesn't have any other way to access the settings. If you have a dedicated menu button, buy with confidence.

I have a Galaxy s5 and it works great! Long press menu on phone to bring up settings.
Realy cool app work like a sharm (Y)
Great working SSTV decoder for you Android device.
Thank you very much :)
Does NOT work on a S5. Waste of money.
This is a great app. Fun to toy around with.
Nice one
Works great
Long pressed the menu soft button on my Note 4 phone and there they were. Maybe I missed this how to in the instructions. Didn't have to on my Nexus 7 tablet, it had a menu button present. Now to learn to use the templates.
Its great worth the money but please add videos to it I forget what the signal is called but it outs on a video and also there is another signal that I want to check out its a portal 2 easter egg and I would love to see it work with this app and also an easter egg with the game kerbal space programs call sstv mountain I would love to see them work love the app and its fun to send stuff like this to my friends and confuse the crap out of them
Works great on my Galaxy S2 that I keep around for a backup, both send and receive. BUT on my Galaxy S5, it receives great, however, the S5 does not have a dedicated menu button, so there is no way to access the menus to set your call sign or options for sending photos. Would definitely give it a 5 star if it would work on my go to phone. Maybe this will be available in the next update? Sure hope so as it is a great app.
It would be nice to be able to use photos taken on other devices.

Can you add FSK and cw ID at the end
Ok, as apps go this is the most expencive I've purchased, however I have most of this developers apps and so far not disapointed. I would like to see this work through Bluetooth, with an option to send via headphones or bluetooth both while using bluetooth to recieve. I have a bluetooth dongle I can use on my radio for recieve, but sending via bluetooth is harder so selectable input and output seperately is important.
Receive side working very well with FT897 and speaker up close to ACER A500 Tabloid microphone. Received pictures as good as Linux QSSTV. Still working on the transmit side, cable interface is under construction. Bluetooth is the way to go. I look forward to that working on my A500. Gordon
Neat app. It's exciting to see creative apps like this. A perfect phone/radio combination. Keep them coming. Its about time!
Thank you for your kind support by reverting very swiftly to my query and sorting out my issue on your beautiful apps. It is wonderful and enjoyed using it. Best of grace dear. de vu2jpn
Installed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. Tried decoding a typically radio-degraded robot36 transmission - nothing happened. Tried a digital acoustic recording of a B/W12 transmission I had created an hour earlier - nothing happened. Nothing happened when I tried a similar Robot72 transmission. Tried optimizing volume levels and mic/speaker placement - nothing, several times. I eventually got some data when I generated a Robot72 transmission live on my computer, whilst practically holding the mic next to the speaker. The app ignored the first ten seconds of it so it missed the VIS and assumed it was Martin2 instead, so it was incomplete AND wrongly decoded. History is broken too, only storing two lines of random pixels. This is my first one-star review for an app for reasons other than design or utility. It didn't decode correctly under near-ideal conditions, so how can we expect it to work in the noisy, band-limited environment SSTV was designed for? Bad enough that functions don't work at all - it's worse when they try but generate garbage. TX works though! The timer should be remaining not lapsed. Refunded. Twice because I had to buy again to post this review!
Did not get one picture to work uninstall but no refund after a couple of minutes of use why ?
Like the rest of the WOLPHI software this works flawlessly. If you've got a tablet and into Ham Radio you NEED this software. Well done Frank G4HBI

My only regret with this is that my Android device does not have a microphone input. Just about blows your ear drums out when you have to turn up the radio full blast to get a good copy. Transmitting using an impedance match so I run the cable from the headphone out of the phone and into the mic in on the radio. Much better of a sender than a receiver for me.
The worst of all wolphi apps. (I have 4 of them) and this one just doesn't decode sstv - even when I play a sstv file from my own computer. Tried it from different speakers, volumes, and distances from speakers.
Has difficulty decoding robot 36. Would think about refunding but unable to now. For the money should be able to decode robot 36. Does some strange things with the screen orientation. Also will not transmit in robot 36. *update - Screen orientation does work although you have to exit app and start again for change to apply. Will invest with hope robot-36 support will be added.
Working as advertised.
