"Now" feature showing stations currently on air in each SW band
Favourites tab to store and easily lookup frequencies of favourite stations
SDR audio option to play live station audio through a selection of SDRs including Twente WebSDR and various KiwiSDRs. More SDR options coming soon.

The app has the following free features (which will always be free):

Schedules easily updated from Eibi and stored on device meaning data connection is not needed once schedules are downloaded.

Search by station showing either complete station schedule and frequencies or only broadcasts of a station at a chosen time
Search by frequency to identify a station you are listening to either at a specific time or any time.
Search by language to find stations only broadcasting in a specific language.
* Shows maps of transmitters location and beam direction from AOKI list
* Log your DX catches, record audio recordings of the station and share your logs using Android share options.

I thought I'd support the app and buy the premium version so I could hear the stations but there's no audio. No static nothing. No tab for customer service. It is a scam to get 1.50$ until proven otherwise. I'll advise if I ever hear from anyone.

App is crashing on certain map views. I suspect if there are no broadcasts to display it's not handling zero results correctly.

Try to use and it closes down. You also CANNOT use it Says free but it's not. Just another info gathering app. They make money with your info!! Do not install!!
