A brilliant program but the app has some limitations. On the Official KiwiSDR site, there are many stations listed that can't be found on the map --Not sure how often the map gets updated. Because of this, we often find ourselves going directly to the official Kiwi-SDR site. There, you can look at the receiver's true picture. Nonetheless, this is a very useful application. We appreciate the developers work and diligence.

This is the best shortwave radio app. This app beats my DX-398 shortwave radio in functionality ,range and many other features.

There is a website that provides similar functionality. Wish the receiver and location was at the top of each screen. Wish there was a way to turn off the panel that displays the radio station names and frequencies. Wish there was an RF gain control but also understand that might lead to overloading the receiver. Overall a very fun and useful app and does work better than the website. Thank you!
