Introducing Sonarpad for iOS and Android: a light app to read documents, check news, subscribe to podcasts, listen to radio stations, and much more!

There once was such an app that gathered similar functions in one place, but then it was removed from the App Store, so this one will be great. I've not yet tested it, but I may come back here and give feedback once I do. It's also good that Sonarpad appears to have been designed with accessibility in mind, and we can use it on Windows and MacOS as well.

This app is only in Italian. Can you please translate it so it works in English?

Hello Ambro and everyone.
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the mobile version.
Now they have become even more powerful!
I would suggest, when opening a document, the option to search for texts, if that is possible.
Thanks!

I am so impressed by your all-in-one app. Having documents, RSS, radio, media conversion, and everything else in one place is just awesome. I completely understand that it is currently in beta, but I wanted to share a few areas where things could be improved.
The main thing for me is the RSS reader. Right now, it is pretty difficult to add new RSS feeds manually. Also, the articles in the recommended news list seem outdated, and I could not find a refresh button to update them. It would also be great if you could improve how the app parses full articles, because a lot of the content is currently getting truncated.
For the radio feature, it is great that we can browse stations by language, but since this app includes radio from all around the world, it would be amazing to also have an option to browse stations by country.
Lastly, for the media converter, could you please add more options for WAV files, like being able to select the bit depth, such as 16-bit?

Thank you for considering my feedback. Yes, I did exactly that. I entered the feed name and the URL into their respective fields and clicked on add RSS, but the feed just did not get added to the list.

I love that I can now easily turn a video file into audio. Thank you for this app!!

I haven’t downloaded the iOS app to test it yet. I’m still debating whether I should. I don’t tend to do as much on iOS as I do on Windows, mainly because the touchscreen interface can be a bit finicky. For example, if you’re reading something and accidentally bump the screen, there goes your place.

That said, there is one feature I would probably use. I’m one of those few people who still connects their phone to a computer to back it up. In iTunes, or at least the Windows version, there’s a File Sharing section that lists the apps on your phone that can accept files directly. On mine, for example, I see VLC Media Player, Microsoft Edge, My Contacts Backup Pro, and a game that hasn’t been updated in forever. But that’s beside the point.

If Sonarpad were added to that list, then in theory, you could download a podcast using the Windows version of Sonarpad, grab the file from your PC, and send it directly to Sonarpad on an iPhone or iPad. From there, you could do whatever you wanted with it.

Android would probably make this a lot easier because of its file sharing system, but I don’t use Android, so I’m not too familiar with how that works. On iOS, though, if Sonarpad showed up in the iTunes File Sharing section, it would be very easy to drop files straight into the app.

That would also avoid the need to use Dropbox, which I’ve stopped using on iOS ever since they imposed device limits on free accounts. I don’t use Dropbox enough to justify paying for extra space, but of course, to each their own.
