QiwiQ a KiwiSDR client for Android: looking for feedback, testers and comments
IMHO and my long experience of developing apps for Android, they do look nice, but other solutions work better. To put it in perspective, I wouldn't purchase an app that works in this fashion unless it offered something that wasn't available otherwise. Even then I would lobby for the rotary controls to be changed. Video of using rotary controls, note the lack of full control. https://youtube.com/shorts/9ySX69YuXRE?si=ZAJ-xlgt7WC78zfI

Yes I know how gestures should work on Android, having been using Android since 2008, but unfortunately on mobile devices it isn't that simple. The gesture often encroaches on another object. Plus not all users know how the rotary controls should work, so they are counterintuitive. In the real world you rotate knobs and you move sliders along their length.
