ESPsoup Beta 0.3
ESPsoup public beta 0.3 (app version 0.12.10) — receive-only radio scanner for the ESP32-C5.
Install (Android 7+): download ESPsoup-beta-0.3.apk, allow installing from this source, plug an ESP32-C5 into the phone with a USB-OTG adapter — use the board's native USB port, not the UART/CH340 port. Updating from beta 0.1/0.2 keeps your settings.

Beta: expect rough edges. ESPsoup only receives; rules on receiving radio signals differ between countries.
