SSTV Slow Scan TV App Description & Overview

What is sstv slow scan tv app? Want to display or send SSTV transmissions, without using a bulky computer? SSTV Pad lets you decode and display Ham (Amateur) Radio SSTV (Slow Scan TV) transmissions. Just connect your device to an HF radio (or even set it next to the radio's speaker), tune in an SSTV frequency, and watch the pictures. SSTV Pad decodes all of the popular SSTV modes, including Robot, Scottie, Martin, and more. Some modes are receive only.

Decoding of SSTV transmissions begins automatically as soon as the start of image audio signals are detected, and the image format is automatically selected. Manual control is also available for use when receiving conditions are poor. Timing signals (phase and skew) can be adjusted to compensate for mismatches with the sending station.

Received images can be saved - including automatically as they are received. You can leave the app running unattended, and come back to view all the received images. You can review saved images, as well as send them via email, and use iTunes file sharing to transfer them to your computer. You can even share them on your Facebook page, or tweet them to your followers, directly from the app! (iOS 6 and later)

You can also transmit images, taken from your saved photos or taken with your device's camera. Text, such as your callsign, can be added to the sent image.

Buy your copy right now, and start decoding and displaying SSTV transmissions in minutes. Just set your iPhone or iPad next to the radio speaker, and watch the pictures come rolling in.

Note: If you cannot see the transmit button, go to the Accessibility settings for your device and turn Button Shapes OFF. It makes the buttons too large so you cannot see them all.

Also, It is very important to have a well tuned signal of good quality, and make sure you get the audio from your radio to your device without adding additional distortion, or auto start and mode detect will not work optimally. Please see this page for tips on using the app and connecting your radio: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/ipad/iPad_SSTV_Pad_FAQ.html

You can also use Bluetooth audio devices to feed audio into your device. Please be sure to use a good quality Bluetooth device, that does not distort the audio.

It works well. Works well with iPad 1, iPad 3, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4S. Application will TX/RX directly and over HF/VHF/UHF radios. I have an isolated cable on the way that connects directly to my 817ND and the iPad headset jack. I'll give it a try once it arrives. It's a little wonky on the auto-start, thus partial images sometimes = 4 stars

Sstv is cool!. Solid app. Easy to use and intuitive. Have fun with sstv! I recommend for some fun entertainment for the cost of a cheeseburger👍

Null. This app works great for receiving but when sending you get null in big black letters over the top of what you’re sending and there is no way to get rid of it

Wish auto settings worked. This app seems to work great as long as you have the mode beforehand. Auto start and auto mode don’t seem to be working. Edit: the save function doesn’t seem to work at all either. Lost a SSTV image from the latest ISS pass. Very disappointed

Nope. Have yet to decode anything with this, it’s set up correctly but I just get a screen of fuzz and color bars. Bought it for the current ISS passes this weekend end up using my laptop and copy RX SSTV and hand mic... great results too...

Great program. Needs retina HD support. This is going to be used to pull images from ISS as it goes overhead and it looks to be a good solution for that. One minor quibble. It needs to be updated for Retina HD displays.

Nice program needs work. I have used this program successfully for several months and am generally happy with it. The basic functions I find easy to use. I use Solocator to get pictures because it puts GPS numbers on the photo automatically and I was able to type my callsign in the same font size, something I could not do in Black Cat.

Works very well. Does exactly what I need and does it well.

All the apps crash. The apps have stopped working on iOS 17. Could you please update the apps so they don’t crash or issue a refund?

Works as promised!. This is an amazing app! For those of us who enjoy sstv it's some surprise to see an sstv image taking form on the iPad screen. The app works well with input from the iPad mike put next to a speaker, but for the best operation it should have direct audio input. This can be accomplished using the apple iPad camera connector kit and a USB audio interface such as the iMic. As always, it helps to have a good signal to track and it doesn't hurt to know the format; Scottie 2, etc. Although with a decent signal the app can detect it. All in all, a very worthwhile use for the iPad.

Worked Wonderfully….once.. The first time used it it worked beautifully. When I came back to the app a second time it could no longer pick up anything. I’ve re-installed, and restarted my iPad. It’s a shame because it worked perfectly on the first start up.

Works awesome!. Made a tape measure 2m antenna and connected to my HT. Worked flawlessly just held near my radio. So pleased with the results.

great app. this is a great app for portable use. dont have to bring bunch of wires and hardwares. It autosaves your received images to photos folder. One issue, it sometimes changes mode in a blink of an eye and right before the sstv station starts to transmit, bit annoying, so you have to keep an eye on your phone that its in the right mode. Hopefully updates will fix and add mode lock. So far it works great.

Works!. As stated before, it's crude, but it works. I wish the skew and phase sliders would adjust sensitivity the farther your finger is away from them like how it is in the Music app, but other than that I would say wonderful.

Extraordinary!. This app enabled painless reception of images from the ISS - using only an HT and a tape measure beam. Easy to set up, and is supported well.

Crude but workable.. It appears to work as directed, but the interface is very crude and doesn't always respond well to rotation my device. I think people with some idea of how the tech works will find this handy, but I find myself as a newbie wanting a bit more polish and a better shove in the right direction.

Works great and simple to use.. App works great I’ve been able to decode several images using this method.

Missing buttons. My view button is cut off and the Tx button is not on the display. Other than that it seems to work great. 5 starts when I have these buttons

Transmit is permanently disabled/broken. Tx always prints a big fat “(null)” string over the image, like a watermark. Unacceptable for a paid app.

Nothing like I expected. Loaded this app on an iPhone 7 and the image quality is very poor. Also, any transmitted images have the text (null) across the top. I see no option to get rid of this. I’d like my $2.99 back. Lol

Needs updating. This is a cool app except the auto detection is wonky and when receiving an image it only displays the top right quadrant and not the whole image. Is better at sending than receiving. Disappointing that it doesn't function properly after I paid for it :(

No transmit or setup button on iPad. The transmit button is off the left side. All you can see is the edge of it. There is no setup button in the bottom left corner as stated in the help. I wanted this to work so bad. I'm doing a presentation at our club and thought I'll use my iPad. Nope doesn't transmit if I can't get to the button.

Great fun!. I use this app to decode pictures coming down from the International Space Station. It’s very convenient. I do have trouble using the sliders for skew, etc and would appreciate some sort of logarithmic sensitivity to allow fine adjustments.

Awesome. I'm not into amateur radio, but SSTV is still fascinating. This app seems to work with all the modes the SSTV program on my computer can throw at it. Please add the sending of images, if it isn't too hard to implement, that would be great.

Awesome!. The interface is a bit crude, but that's not important. It was always useful for allowing me to easily decode SSTV anywhere, but now that it can also transmit it's perfect. Good job!

Almost perfect. Works great for receiving even just holding near my HT on low volume. The sliders for adjusting phase and skew tend to keep moving after you lift your finger and it throws off the image. Also there should be a way to automatically save received picture data and/or the audio files. It "auto-detected" the start of a new picture and wiped out the last one before I could save.

Great. It’s a great app but I think it would be cool if it could automatically detect what transmission type it was but other else it’s good EDIT: please make it less sensitive it will pick up a totally silent room

ISS SSTV received!. Worked great getting SSTV from the International Space Station!! Just held it up next to my HT and got a pretty decent image!!

Crashes on iOS 13.1.2. Wonderful app but please fix the crash.

Only decodes top right section of the photo, very disappointing when I used it for the ISS pass. Only decodes top right section of the photo, very disappointing when I used it for the ISS pass. Needs update

Handy as a Pocket on a Shirt!. All you need is this app and a radio and you can send and receive SSTV images! It's super-easy! I've got this on both my iPad and iPhone! It ROCKS!!

It's good, but.... Like the app, easy to use. I wish there was transmit capabilities for ALL modes...

Great app. Works great. Ipad interface and audio detection seems better than on my 4s. Only thing we need now is a transmitter!

Great for on the go SSTV. This app is great for receiving and transmitting SSTV Images! Receiving is easy. Just set your mode (or set to auto detect) and hold your phone up to your radio’s speaker when theres a SSTV signal. I already managed to get a few images from the international space station. I wish that I was able to transmit on the PD modes, the rest work great though. I’m able to pick a picture on from my phone, add some text and then hold my phone up to my radios mic. (PS, don’t forget to check your radios timeout function if you’re using a mode that takes longer to transmit)

They have removed sending capabilities. I used to be able to send and receive with this app. I can no longer send what a waste, and I can't downgrade. Iphone 5 user.

Almost perfect. This app decodes SSTV extremely well, even just using the microphone set next to my radio. It even did a good job when I was across the room. My only gripe is that I'd really like to be able to save the images to the camera roll so that I can text the images to my friends. It is strange that I can email or tweet or send to Facebook but I can't text the image? This app would be 5-star with that functionality.

Works for some. ...but I have not had success decoding the recent ISS images in PD180. I have heard others have had success but on my iPad, running iOS 8.2, it doesn't seem to work correctly

Terrific piece of work. Love it.. Greatest

Very poor decoding. The sister app for Mac performs well, but this mobile app is useless.

Great App Performs Great. I’ve captured all kind of SSTV using a hand held and a rubber duck through the speaker. Works as well as any other app or program.

suggestions. Phase and Skew sliders are too sensitive.. also does not TX in every mode .. other than that great app

Great App, But Can Be Greater!. I loved that you took my suggestion for having the ability to Tweet and post to Facebook right from the app. Now I will challenge you more by improving the interface. It just seems so plain and uninteresting. Like with the addition to Twitter and Facebook, it's just text. Why not the logos, or buttons? Making the app visually appealing I think, it just as important as functionality. Looking forward to another update.

Works with iPhone. This app is a fun way to play with receiving sstv on the go. I use it with my iPhone and my daughters like to use it with their hf receivers and old iPhones we have given them.

Good app. This is a good app I enjoy using it very much I like the challenge of getting a picture to show up doesn’t always happen but it’s fine anyway thank you very much

Needs update. Works well for what it is but needs a refresh the mic on a iPhone is not that great also fix the word glitch large letters have 2 per picture.

It works.. This is a good app and it does decode SSTV audio (I used it to decode images from the International Space Station) but the Phase and Skew controls are way, way too sensitive on the iPhone. The slightest movement of the control can throw the image way off. From one app developer to another - you need to decrease the min and max values for those slider controls by a factor of 10 or so.

Audio cable input does not work. Auto Start does not work. I’d be better off just using my big bulky computer for portable or mobile operations than using this poor excuse of an SSTV decoder app. This is not what I expected to pay $2.99 for.

Please add support for Apple Watch. This app would be awesome if it was able to transmit images as well. Definitely needs an update for iOS 10.

Great App!. Simple and easy to use. Great for the UV5R and APRS cable

Ok. This app should be able to send all modes like pad and “mr” please fix this and I will be satisfied but for now I’m starting to look in to other soft wares

SSTV. Tried this for the first time when my fellow hams were using complicated software on their computers. They were surprised when I could download the SSTV on my iPhone.

Conveinient. Good work on the App. I'm not the only one from my club using this successfully. Another member has left his iPhone and receiver unattended to decode images swapped at our weekly SSTV meet. I'm doing fine just with the phone mic facing the radio's speaker. Greetings from VK4WIP amateur club.

Great SSTV app. I use it on 20metres almost exclusively, portability is important as the noise level in my house means all HF work is from the shed without electricity. Scottie and Martin are recieved from Europe with good copy even under poor signal conditions using the manual mode. This app is one of best for mobile devices and SSTV on the go is far more convenient with my iPod or iPad than other apps. VK3YWB

Works Great! Worth the price.. Quite enjoying this program. Only 2 things you will need to know about it. The “(null)” can be corrected when you are in the TX screen by selecting the text you wish to send. And the other I have found is when receiving photos, turn your transceiver/receiver volume up or down until you get a clear picture. 73, VA7WCJ.

Nice!. This app was very well. Basically open and it auto detects the modes. No problems. Works Great!

Works but primitive, could use update. Got a few images recorded, but “auto start” resulted in losing the chance to adjust the skew/phase of the image before saving it, as somehow the app thought random ambient noise was a new image coming in. Would be nice if the raw data of an image can be saved so we can adjust those parameters after the fact (and export a finished image to Camera Roll at our leisure). Also skew has too few possible values meaning I couldn’t get it perfectly stable - it was always slightly skewed either one way or the other. Regardless of these quirks I’m thankful this app exists for iOS, making ultra-portable SSTV reception possible. Thanks!

Déçu, je veux être rembourser. L’application n’est pas capable de traiter sstv correctement, aucun image n’est visible, pourtant sur mon ordinateur est capable de traiter correctement sstv, bien dommage :/

Exactly as described. I used this app until my iPad battery died out. I just left it sitting next to a pair of headphones playing back 14.230MHz and captured a wide array of SSTV images in a number of modes. I also used it to validate the audio I was generating from some software to do SSTV transmissions and it was very useful to just have it sitting there picking up each new playback of the audio. It is straightforward and doesn't do the things like auto-slant, but all the controls you need to work with received images are there and easy to use.

Works, but pictures all say (null). This app is really cool, and it definitely works. But for some reason, the side that receives the image always has (null) on it. I'm pretty sure that this is intentional, because I don't think that it can accidentally be transmitted with a picture that says (null).

Needs more work. Does not auto detect mode, skewed and out of phase even with clear signals. Very disappointed to pay for this.

May need a few touch ups. For the most part, it works well and delivers a superb image quality. But it has a few issuse. 1st, The Auto start and Auto detect don't always work. Sometimes the auto start will start randomly at loud noises or for no reason at all. The auto detect will sometimes make mistakes (ex: B/W 8 or Martin M1 instead of Robot36c), or won't auto detect at all(will just start receiving image without auto detecting mode). 2nd, Phase and Skew can be touchy and hard to use on ipod. When you move either and release it, sometimes it will leap forward or backward on it's own. Also, sometimes when the Phase and skew buttons are alligned, the Phase button will not move(stuck). Also, i personaly think that the Phase and Skew buttons shoud have a reset button. I give this app 4 stars, becasue for all its faults, it is very useful.

It works!!!. Please add an image encoder for the fifth star!!!

It is ok. Robot36 has n android work so much better. Friend bought this for me. And I wish he had saved his money.

It's good. It's good

Works. Works great, both RX and TX. Can't wait for IOS7 update!

SSTV APP works great. Using an interface to connect the radio to the iPhone I can snap a pix with one iPhone and via radio send it to another iPhone running the APP or to a computer running SSTV SW. It even works without an interface just using the audible tones to send thru the radio. The Phase and Skew sliders are a little too sensitive but maybe that will be fixed in an update. It works!

Poor Quality. I used this application on my iPhone and my daughter used her Android phone with a different application. She picked up a high quality photo while mine was distorted with this application. Don’t waste your time and the chance of getting an image with this application.

Very good. It's interesting to decode the pictures from amsat podcast with acoustic coupling.

Thanks!. Just wanted to say thanks for making this and thanks for maintaining it!

Needs an encoder. Receive works great but it needs an encoder too.

Tx mode. I use it and it's the best if add TX mod. 73
