Incredible app
Quite impressive with everything that’s been built in to this one app. The fact you can do CW, FT8, and more right in the app is a huge accomplishment. I literally just tried FT8 for the first time from my iPhone while laying in bed. Would love (and would pay) for the ability to do Winlink from the app somehow. If not that, at least a mode like JS8, RTYY, etc where you could do some messaging. Hats off to the developers!

Love It
I purchased this program a couple of years ago for the novelty of being able to remotely operate my Flex radio, the reality is it has been one of my best software purchases to date.
If you are chasing DX, parks or fill in the blank, some times your opportunity may not come at a time when you’re sitting in front of your radio. I have worked hundreds of contacts from the hotel room on a business trip or I got a Ham Alert notification that a person, park, or state has been spotted and I am on frequency in short order throwing out my call regardless of where I am physically located.

IOS 18 Update
I was happy to see that the app worked flawlessly after my IPhone 14 upgrade to IOS 18. Great work by the developer to keep the app up to date. He has always been responsive to help needs via the help section in the app. If you have issues, it will direct you to him via email. Great program.
Great Software for FlexRadio on IOS
I find this IOS software for FlexRadio on iPad and iPhone Pro MAX that I have is easier to configure and use for FT8 and SSB then on my Windows 11 Computer. I use it every day. I have made 114 confirmed DXCC/LoTW countries on FT8/FT4 since September 2022, and it is now Jan 30, 2023. This software is will worth the money spent to enable the features I use, including general radio access, the logging and,FT8 features. The developer has quickly answered questions to help with any problems I have in using the software.

Double Payment
I am writing this to complain about a double payment required. I bought the app for my iPhone and then wanted to use it on my granddaughter’s iPad. I had bought her the iPad for Christmas last year and she has graciously loaned it to me to work remotely when we go to the lake. I have found that 82 year old eyes do better with a larger display. She has her own Apple ID and because it is different from mine, I can only use it if I pay another $65. Other than having to pay for it twice, I think it is a great app and I will gladly rate it five stars if I can use it without having to pay for it again. It is advertised to only have to pay once!

Response from developer
Roger, You should have contacted me using the App included Contact developer feature. It is NEVER necessary to pay twice. BUT you will have to use the same Apple ID as all purchases are always tied to an Apple ID. Please contact me now and I will try to help. 73, Marcus, DL8MRE Unfortunately, nobody contacted me so I can't help. A shame. Strange though!
Remote Operating At It’s Best
I bought a Flex 6400M with idea of operating it remote when we were out RVing. The radio is great and the pc software works great too. But I have a tether speed limit of 5 Mbps and was concerned that would not handle the radio data very well. The iPhone version works so well that I use a HDMI cable to the 50” tv and I am enjoying the hobby on the road without putting up additional antennas. The software works great! The sound quality through my V1 airpods is superb too. I’m super happy with the software and highly recommend it. 73s KJ5WO

Awesome app and top notch support
Ive had the app since it first was released. Used on a 6500 and 2 6400’s thus far. This latest release is outstanding. The FT8 functionality is excellent. I used to use splashtop and remote into my pc in the shack to do FT8. Now, i can do it all right from the app on my ipad and iphone 13 Max. Logging works great and can be uploaded to QRZ and LOTW. About the only thing this app cant do is the functionality of JTAlert. But give it time. Markus is a talented developer. His support is top notch. He answers emails very quickly and turns out patches and upgrades quite often.
You wont regret buying the app. Get the logbook and FT8 tools also. Money well spent. Im a 100% remote operator. Never go in the shack anymore. 73 de WV9L

Fantastic App
The only native app for Flex. It works perfectly and it looks just like the Mac version of the app. The support is fantastic with regular updates and you can’t go wrong. Highly recommend it.
Add some features?
Love the app and I have been using it for almost a full year. I am still finding features I did realize where there. Is there any hope for the possibility to record and play back audio on the frequency like we can do in the widows version or from the Maestro? I know we can have canned macros for contesting but I am looking at live so audio. Also, can a SSTV app be added as a tool? Steve, N8XSF

Amazing access to Flex radio
It took me some time to get the Mac iOS version of SmartSDR working properly on my MacBook Pro… not because of any problems with the App, it was more a case of me being a slow learner! Looking back it was pretty easy.
Having got the Mac version working and having familiarised myself with it I decided to try this version for the iPad. I had it working, completely interfaced with Flex 6400M and PGXL linear amplifier and operating G2YT remote from Asia within a few minutes. It’s very intuitive and Marcus has been amazingly responsive and helpful throughout.
