QRV is coming to Android.
The ham radio multitool — band conditions, live spots, callsign lookup, band plans, and a shack full of references — now running natively on Android. It's in closed testing right now, and you can get in.
This is a beta, so expect some rough edges.
The Android app is currently a work-in-progress. Things might look unpolished, some features aren't there yet, and I'll be updating a lot. If that sounds like fun, you're exactly who I'm looking for.
Subscriptions are wired up now, but every tester gets Premium unlocked for free during the beta — nothing to buy. In exchange, tell me what breaks.
Google Play only lets people in the tester group see the app, so do this first. Join the QRV Android tester group with the Google account you use on your phone's Play Store.
Join the tester group →The account matters. If you join with one Google account and your phone's Play Store is signed into another, the app won't show up.
Once you're in the group, open the opt-in link and accept the invitation. Play will confirm with "You are a tester."
Become a tester →Do this on the same Google account from step 1.
The opt-in confirmation page links straight to the store listing. Install it like any other app.
Open in Google Play →Seeing "item not found"? Give it a few hours. Play's opt-in page and the Play Store app read different caches — force-stopping the Play Store usually helps.
Live solar and propagation data so you know which bands are worth your time.
Real-time PSK Reporter data showing what's being heard near you right now, with band and mode filters.
QRZ and HamQTH lookups, plus per-band QSO confirmations pulled from your QRZ or Wavelog logbook.
Live Parks and Summits on the Air activations, filterable by band and mode.
Allocations for 22 countries, plus Q-codes, CW with audio, prosigns, RST, APRS, and Maidenhead grids.
Antenna lengths, coax loss, battery runtime, power — and a propagation compass showing which directions are open.
Custom notifications for band activity, DXCC entities, watched callsigns, and DXpeditions.
Proximity alerts when lightning is detected near your station, so you know when it's time to disconnect.
Subscriptions are live and testable — every beta tester gets Premium unlocked for free.
Report bugs and request features on GitHub, or just send an email — every report from a tester goes straight to the top of the list.
Or email [email protected]
QRV has been on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch since 2025.
