About this app

Shortwave Radio Schedules

This app provides schedules and frequencies for shortwave radio broadcasts throughout the world. Information is also included on some utility stations, Firedrake jammer etc.

Information is taking from the Eibi schedule (http://www.eibispace.de/) and AOKI Schedule.

Location permissions are for mapping features for Google Maps API and displaying your current location on a map.

Premium Version is available as an In App Purchase which adds:

*"Now" feature showing stations currently on air in each SW band
*Favourites tab to store and easily lookup frequencies of favourite stations
*SDR audio option to play live station audio through a selection of SDRs including Twente WebSDR and various KiwiSDRs. More SDR options coming soon.

*If you want to donate to the author please also purchase this IAP to buy me a beer*

The app has the following free features (which will always be free):

*Schedules easily updated from Eibi and stored on device meaning data connection is not needed once schedules are downloaded.
* Search by time showing all stations broadcasting to a chosen target area at a specific time
* Search by station showing either complete station schedule and frequencies or only broadcasts of a station at a chosen time
* Search by frequency to identify a station you are listening to either at a specific time or any time.
* Search by language to find stations only broadcasting in a specific language.
* Shows maps of transmitters location and beam direction from AOKI list
* Log your DX catches, record audio recordings of the station and share your logs using Android share options.
*Dark mode

Results show the station name, the broadcast start and end time, the target area of the station (EU, Asia, Africa, North America etc.) and a list of frequencies including the transmitter location (swipe across to see more frequencies)

Ratings and reviews

DV5OHM Gordon in Leyte, Philippines. I had premium, but now only have the free version, which is good. I've enjoyed, SWL for the past 70 years and everything has really changed. In 1955 there were SW BC stations 7/24 on almost every band. In 2026 you really need a SW schedule to find a broadcast in a language you know. So many frequencies, so few broadcasters remaining! Your app is very intuitive and easy to use. Thank you for your gift of a free version!

If you are a shortwave radio listener, this app is a must have. Easy to use, accurate and loaded with usefull features. If I could add any features, it would be Solar (SFI) condition information tab and maybe a favorite station list tab. The audio record somtimes crashes the app and I have to restart, but I don't use that much so not a big deal. Love the recent updates. The Now, and favorite option makes this one of the best. Well done, but needs a dark mode for nightime.

Purchased the full version within minutes. However I have reserved one star because of a feature missing that I would have thought obvious: select Now, find a station I'm interested in, now I want to list to that station (click? double tap?) - but no; nothing causes this station to play. Instead I must read the frequency, go over to the frequency tab, type in the frequency (check the time control on), search, find that station, click play. Something for the next version, please.
