STARWAVES Launches Full-Featured Dual-Standard Android SoftRadio App for DRM & DAB+ at IBC 2025
STARWAVES launches the DRM-DAB+ dual-standard version of its popular SoftRadio App for Android. This unique solution enables full-featured reception of both digital radio standards in a single app – ideal for markets where DRM and DAB+ coexist, such as South Africa, Indonesia, or Australia, or for listeners in Europe who want access to both local DAB+ services and international DRM broadcasts like Radio Romania International.
Just like the existing DRM-only version, this app version supports DRM in all broadcast bands including the AM bands (LW, MW, SW) as well as the VHF Bands I, II (FM-Band) and III – depending on the capabilities of the USB-attached tuner dongle.
The app is now available on the Google Play Store for around 13 €.

Hello, can I receive FM radio?
This app only decodes DRM and DAB+. At the moment we have no date for adding analogue FM but perhaps we will consider one day if we get more requests.
Excellent
Which SDR receivers does this new software work with? Brand and model? rtl-sdr? AirSpy R2?
Hi there, please check our Wiki, the list of receivers is there. But yes, both Airspy and RTL-SDR are supported!
I cannot find neither of the apps any longer at Google Play. (In Sweden)
Where can I find it?

Please check again, it should be back by now!
These Starwaves apps (for Android) are not available from Google Play in Canada. Must be due to either geographic or device restrictions. Could you please make it available! Had a good time receiving DRM stations using the app in the past.
Sorry guys, there was a glitch in the Google store with our app but it should be back right now! Please let us know if the problem persists. Thanks for letting us know!
