Version 1.2 · 21 Oct 2026 ·
The first version for iPad and iPhone Duo.
PhosphorSWL now runs natively on iPad and across both displays of iPhone Duo, with larger type and a layout opened out for the bigger screen. On BROADCAST and NUMBERS the search and filters sit open in a column beside the list, with the bands laid out as a grid, so the whole schedule stays in view while you narrow it down.
The interface has been redrawn around a standard tab bar, SCANNER, BROADCAST, NUMBERS, FAV and CONFIG, which opens into a sidebar on iPad.
On iPhone the BROADCAST and NUMBERS filters fold into a single line naming what is set, with the count of matches beside it. Tap the line to open the filters, and scroll the list to fold them away again, giving the schedule the full height of the screen. Sort the schedule by tapping the kHz, STATION or UTC heading. The frequency the scanner has reached now sits at the head of its list.
