Description
Are you a shortwave radio listener (SWL) in need of an up to date set of schedules for international broadcast stations? Shortwave Broadcast Schedules is a handy app that displays broadcast schedules of about 11,000 longwave, mediumwave, and shortwave broadcast stations.
The stations are initially listed in order by frequency. You can tap a button to see which stations are on the air right now, as well as search for stations by name, frequency, time of day that they are on, or select by language, target area, or country of origin.
Stations currently on the air are displayed in bold, making it quick and easy to see which stations are on right now.
The app can keep a log of stations you have heard, with the date, time, frequency, SIO, and other notes you wish to enter. Now your device can be your personal logbook!
You can keep track of favorite stations, as well as set reminders for favorite broadcasts, so you’ll never forget about a transmission again.
Tap on a station to bring up more information about the station, such as the country of origin, target area, and programming language.
When viewing the details for a station, you can tap on the frequency, country, target, or language to get a list of all other stations with that matching value. You can also tap on Schedule to see all of the transmissions throughout the day for this station.
Updated schedules can be downloaded for free.

Ratings and Reviews
Really cool
I have been using this app for a few months with my shortwave radio and it really compliments it well, it took me a few goes to really work it out, I need to say at this point I am new to sw listening, but when I find a station on my radio I can enter it here and it tells me who it’s is I’m listening to and where they are and the language. It really brings my listening to life and makes it more exciting. I would certainly recommend giving this app a try.
Kept regularly updated
I emailed the develop and he confirmed database continues to be updated automatically.
Schedules are out of date
Unfortunately an app like this is only as good as the information it uses. While the app itself looks excellent and has some nice features the broadcast schedules are really out of date. For example it doesn't have Radio Romania's latest frequency changes. The latest SW schedules are A19. Such a shame as the app does exactly what I need but it's as useless as looking at last night's TV guide to see what's on tonight. I hope the developer will look into this.
