About this app

VibeSDR is a mobile-first software-defined radio (SDR) receiver — and far more than a single-server client. It speaks multiple SDR server protocols and does its own demodulation of the raw IQ with a clean-room DSP engine. Pair that with a GPU-rendered waterfall, native background audio, on-device decoders and maps, plus voice and in-car control, for a genuinely great SDR experience on any iPhone — whatever receiver is behind it.

WHAT YOU CAN CONNECT TO

• Remote SDR servers — native support for UberSDR, OpenWebRX / OpenWebRX+, and KiwiSDR, all behind one interface, with a directory chooser in the instance picker.

• Networked rtl_tcp — connect to a remote rtl_tcp server and VibeSDR demodulates the raw IQ itself.…

Store update history

Each store’s release notes, as the developer wrote them. They are the developer’s words, not ours.

App Store

Version 11.0.10 · 2026-10-22
Ask before tuning: on a server whose owner has switched it on, tuning, gain and radio controls are dimmed until you ask in chat, and a new canned reply says "I'm listening to this one — a few more minutes, please?" The admin always keeps full control. DAB: pressing the multiplex button quickly moves the label at once and tunes only the block you stop on, and the label no longer jumps back while a slower server catches up. Listening through an rtl_tcp receiver: fixes a stutter in the audio, and a hitch in the waterfall, every time the RF gain changed.

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
