About this app

SDR++ is radio receiver software. Plug a software-defined radio dongle into your phone and you can tune across the airwaves: shortwave, aircraft, weather satellites, ham chatter, local FM, watching the signals scroll past on a waterfall display and listening to several at once.

It is the same program people run on desktop computers. The Android build handles RTL-SDR, Airspy, Airspy HF+, HackRF, PlutoSDR and HydraSDR dongles (SDRplay, LimeSDR and SoapySDR are not built into it) and it can also pull audio from a receiver on your network over rtl_tcp, SpyServer or an SDR++ server, so the antenna can sit on the roof while you listen from the sofa.

You need radio hardware for this: a dongle plus a USB OTG adapter, or a networked receiver somewhere. The app on its own has nothing to tune. Note also that the numbered releases carry no APK; the Android build comes only from the project's rolling nightly build.
