I love this. I wonder if it's possible to listen to any evidence or anything of sound coming from out of deep space with this? One should never know what comes from these unusual sounds u less it's human voices been private gripted by things I hear it's impossible to hear what one is saying. But I think it's really interesting.. specially the graphics wave map to know where to click on where sound may be at. Wish ther was more to be added what about the cosmos or some kind of interesting terrestrial ?:-) great job keep it updated please and add more into it. Specially designed Spain and parts of Europe. But not sure if the sounds are incryptrd there for they sound like strange alienation ?:) Also can this be available too for PC and if so how to download it for PC computers?

Okay, this is a revised review (had to delete other because Chrome wasn''t accepting my edits--go figure). Anyway, Dan was very responsive to my problem. Bottom line is that I did not realize that when you're loading the configurations, the nine rectangles in the lower right of the configuration load window are actually scroll wheels. Scroll up and down, placing your radio configuration on the center line,--model, radio type, specific configuration. Once Dan explained that, getting it up and running went smoothly. I've scored it a four because there seem to be some bugs in the software, and because maybe that those were scroll wheels should be a bit more intuitive (I used to help with the design of military C4I human/machine interfaces in a past life, so am rather finicky about ease of use). Anyway, thanks, Dan, for the super response. I'll go buy the paid version now.

Purple frequency drop down viewer on my app doesn't seem to show up. It was there before but now is gone. Tried re-installing 4 times now, but can't seem to get it back up. How can I fix this? Update: Developer responded extremely fast and was very helpful in Troubleshooting! This app is great!!

Hi, I used to use the cb radio years ago and wanted to use ham radio or amateur. I know this is done via the net as apposed to actual radio waves because not all androids have an fm chip and such like (mine has) however I'd like to broadcast or transmit, illegal or not with out the ridiculous licensing. I am respectable and certainly wouldn't turn it into pirate radio smeg, just wanna know In the full version can I transmit? If not, know of any programs that do? Thanx for patients, great app.

Does not work and there is no information to be found. Says it is connected but does nothing. Would gladly buy it if free version worked. Seems to need a java app on server. Where is that? There should be a page with clear instructions and with ALL required software.

Love the app I'm considering buying the add free version only to support the development of this app the adds don't bother me too much however I would like to see some additional settings such as theming the interface dark theme . more look of a classic high tech set and the ability to have full screen option on the frequency waterfall display . cracking app though . make it happen Mr developer )) please

I installed this app with a lot of interest. Soon I realized that my phone is not giving any sound notifications. After some hard research I disabled all the privileges for this app and my phone was back to normal. Hadn't I discovered this workaround I would have reset my phone. Who knows .. due to this app I would have had soundless phone for days together. Please fix this ASAP.

I can connect and change the CFO and bad and some basic stuff but what I do in the radio doesn't carry over to the app. A novelty but not something I can pay for unless it works.

Used this app many times. Now when I open it, it requests "remote socket" and other info, with ZERO explanation of what that means. Before it simply worked every time with no input.

It brought up a splash screen advertising the ad free version and that is all it would do. If I tapped anything it would fail. Oh well. I would post a screen capture of the error but no way to do it. Java line 4346. After several Uninstall/Install cycles it finally ran. I will add more as I try it out.

I get a Java error & the app crashes, Note 3. Edit: Thank for the reply, I will download it again and send you a screen shot of the error. It still crashes after the app be closed and reset all holding start. I sent a debug report via the app since it just crashes now when I try. It still crashes, it will only work a few time after reinstalling the app again, then back to the app not working and just instantly crashing. Android v4.4.4 on a Note 3 Sprint.
