I'm going to assume that the only way to view RF data using a phone is going to be by using a dongle to capture it? I looked at this to see if there was a rf signal turning on lights in my house or if it was just a bad controller and thankfully, if I understand the tutorial correctly, I don't need to waste time looking at other apps because this is not within a phone's capability without external hardware. This app does look to be very capable though with the correct hardware.

Yes, this app needs additional external hardware to work. The keyword to look out for is 'rtl-sdr dongle' and the cheapest I know starts at 20$. Although I would recommend to buy the 'RTL-SDR Blog v4' which is a mich better product for double the price. You might also need an adapter from usb-A to usb-C to plug it into your phone.

Found a bug, fixed it. Using a multiport dongle to connect my RTL-SDR v4 to my Samsung Tab S10 Lite, it was limiting me to 23Mhz on the lower end. Gave me full range of RTL-SDR on phone after an initial error. I flipped the USB-C around/over and it worked on phone. Tried as well on Tablet, worked, gives full spectrum of RTL-SDR. Unique problem, easy fix. Hopefully helps others. Also, happy that purchasing works on both devices as expected.

Great app, perfect price, works like a charm. does everything I need and more. I am using a nano 3 with NO OTG CABLE and it works flawlessly to foxhunt mesh nodes. The app is so good I would have paid for it twice, but you don't have to. The license to use it works on any Google Play connected device you're logged into that is compatible. Thanks Mr Dennis!
