I second the vote for MMSSTV. Note that it runs fine on Linux under Wine (how I run it), as well as the native Windows.

Excellent!
I was just on a net in which some operators were recommending easypal. Downloaded it, but didn't get too far. I saw MMSSTV online, and I'll experiment with it tomorrow.
Thanks again, John!

For iOS use “SSTV Slow Scan TV” by Black Cat Systems https://itunes.apple.com/app/sstv/id387910013
For Android use "Robot36" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xdsopl.robot36&hl=en
For Windows use “MMSSTV” (see AMSAT UK link below for setup) http://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv.php
Note I actually prefer RX-SSTV on Windows now. Originally I found MMSSTV got sharper images but on RX-SSTV if you disable BPF (band pass filter I believe), it will get them as sharp as MMSSTV, and the big difference is that RX-SSTV doesn't have nearly as many slants in its decodes as MMSSTV. If the signal is not great enable BPF and things will be smoothed out a bit.
For Mac OS X use “Multiscan 3B SSTV” http://www.qsl.net/kd6cji/
For Linux use “QSSTV” http://users.telenet.be/on4qz/qsstv/index.html
This is from my web page:

I also recently made a zip file of a bunch of actual ISS SSTV transmissions you can use to test your setups:

My main tip is to record the ISS SSTV transmissions so you can run them through different software with different settings to get the best decode. Good luck!

Good evening AMSAT Elmers!
I have my hardware setup that can support SSTV, and would appreciate any software recommendations. What are you currently using that you like? I
have
devices that run Windows, iOS and Linux. I'd love to be able to participate
in
the next ISS SSTV round, receiving, if not transmitting yet.
Thanks, and 73!
