About this app

MagicSDR makes it possible to interactively explore RF spectrum using panadapter and waterfall visualization, demodulate and play AM, SSB, CW, NFM, WFM signals, collect frequencies. Built on the principle of plug-in architecture, MagicSDR - powerful and flexible next-generation SDR (software-defined radio) application. Typical applications are dx-ing, ham radio, radio astronomy, and spectrum analysis. Explore the spectrum everywhere!

You can also hear local AM (MW) broadcasts around the world using location search and manually scanning each area. You don't need hardware radio peripherals, just your phone is enough. The main problem is the developer put the audio out thru the in-call (phone) channel instead of the media channel. This wreaks havoc on the phone's audio controls until you uninstall it and bluetooth also is problematic.
