Basically doesn’t work
Would be cool if it did.
Description
WebSDR is an Audio Unit Plugin that plays audio from Software Defined Radio (SDR) streams. It allows you to incorporate the sound of live radio into a live music performance.
WHAT IS SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO?
A software defined radio is a device with an antenna that connects to a computer and allows it to receive live radio broadcasts. It features a wide variety of protocols; in addition to standard AM and FM modes found in most consumer radios it typically includes modes for LSB, USB, CW and other settings used to listen in on the CB radios used by taxi drives, marine weather stations, air traffic control towers, amateur radio enthusiasts and many other types of radio broadcasts.
The signals you can access using this app are not your own local radio stations; rather they are the radio stations in the vicinity of a collection of free servers, many of them operated by universities. These servers are positioned in many different countries around the world so using this plugin you can listen in on a variety of radio signals in a wide variety of languages and cultures.
WHAT DO PEOPLE USE THIS PLUGIN FOR?
The crackly sound of an old-style AM broadcast or a conversation between taxi drivers on a CB radio is a musical flavour that can not be replicated with other plugins. If you are looking for some really unique and interesting material to include in your performances or mixes, this plugin will supply.
LIMITATIONS
This plugin requires Javascript in order to play sound. Unfortunately that means that the UI must be open the entire time you are using it. When the UI is closed Javascript stops running, similar to the way a website stops playing audio when you close a tab in your browser.
NOTE: THIS IS AN AUDIO UNIT PLUGIN. IT RUNS INSIDE A HOST APP SUCH AS GarageBand.

Worst app ever , cool idea tho
First time i want my money back , it should be removed from the app store , the audio stops when you close its window . 😟
No bueno
Doesn’t work on iPhone.
Trouble running this in AUM under iOS 17
I have really enjoyed this app in previous versions, both for listening and as a source of material for ambient loops in AUM. Unfortunately, it’s been nonfunctional with iOS 17.
Doesn’t work on updated iOS
The note the dev puts at the top of the description isn’t entirely accurate. I can use WebSDR from the website just fine from my iPad Safari. And it doesn’t cost me $5.99. But WebSDR doesn’t work inside this app. Which just looks like a refilled website view. I want a refund.
It works EXCEPT…..
Sadly when using inside of AUM, the audio cuts out when you close the window. I wrote the developer but never got back a response. I’m a pretty experienced and seasoned ios music creator used to creating complex setups in AUM, Drambo, so it’s kind of a drag to have to squeeze down the window to a tiny little square and tuck it out of the way.
UI improvements, but no audio
UI has been improved and app itself has nice interface. But there’s no audio… only for a split second and then it mutes. No way to recover. Requesting refund. Will try again after the next update…
Unusable
I can access the web page and all works great from there, but using the app causes the audio to pulsate at a rate of about 3-4 Hz. I hope this can be fixed.
What? This is an App you charge $6 for?
I'm a ham. General. I took a chance and downloaded this App to hopefully enjoy some listening of stations I can't otherwise reach. So the program installs and I open it and what do I see? A Web page, with tiny font type that I can't read without stretching the dickins out of my iPhone 12. This is NOT an "App." And, it is NOT worth $6.
Would not work on my IPhone 12 Pro
I had to delete this app and the GarageBand app and reboot my phone. Waist of money.
