## Review summary

Users find the app useful for HackRF device interaction and signal recording but report significant issues with recent updates causing failures. Android 13's storage restrictions hinder easy access to saved files, and the app lacks flexibility for changing save locations. Some users must manually enable permissions for functionality, and others experience a non-responsive interface despite proper hardware connections. While the app works when set up correctly and with older versions, it needs improvements for reliability and user experience on newer Android versions.

### Pros

- App works with HackRF devices on multiple Android phones when properly set up.
- Allows recording and replaying of signals such as gate opener FOBs.
- Can transmit user IQ files with the help of a PC for file management.

### Cons

- App does not work properly after recent updates, needing downgrades to earlier versions to function.
- Cannot access saved files easily due to Android 13 storage restrictions and lack of folder customization within the app.
- Requires manual enabling of file permissions for proper operation, which is not user-friendly.
- App interface is unresponsive or fails to run tests for some users despite correct device connection.
