  • Mostly good

    It’s very nice to be able to control my flexradio from my ipad. Sitting on the deck or away from home. The iPad SmartSDR gives nearly complete functioning of the flex.

    Held back on the final star as the user interface does not have any keyboard control. I cannot type in frequencies or use the arrow keys to tune across the bands. While the iPad is primarily a tap-device, the keyboard is a very common accessory and should be supported within the SmartSDR app.

    Dear OM, thanks for your review. Unfortunately, there is no way to access these keys on iOS. I would wish it would be possible and in that case, I won't hesitate to support these keys but it is not possible. My suggestion is to use a MIDI controller like the DJ2GO which is supported by my App.
  • Incredible

    My shack is in my pocket now!
  • Doesn’t work with headphones

    My entire English class now knows I’m a nerd (if it wasn’t already apparent). Put my headphones in and started to listen in only to realize everyone else could hear the ATC tower I was tuned into. Please allow for headphone compatibility.

    Headphones are working but you need to turn the speaker off in the Audio menu. Please everybody, if you have questions or issues, don’t use reviews to let me know. This takes too long and doesn’t allow me to ask questions. Please use the Support Button or the form on my website. I will answer all questions quickly. Thanks, 73, Marcus, DL8MRE
  • Amazing

    Game changer for iOS and Flex. Keep it coming !
  • Great app. Makes flex flexible.

    This truly a game changer. I use my flex when on break at work, ft8 when doing work at home. My iPad has become a truly useful interface.
  • Not ready

    Crashes every time I use it for more than 3 minutes. Lost 3 DX calls in progress. Crashed. No info. No reason. Simple setup. Just up and crashed. $60 wasted. Flex 6400M latest iPhone. Software engineer by trade. Seriously. This app is amateur and not in the good way. Flex Systems should be ashamed this is offensively bad. What a sham.

    The App does not crash of course. Please use the support button inside the App if you need help and I am happy to help. Can you please contact me Ryan.? 73, Marcus, DL8MRE
  • Incredible App

    Amazing application for an incredible Flex Radio. Love the FT8/FT4 Integration. I wish there were other modules that could decode CW, RTTY, PSK etc. I’d happily pay more for those.
  • Great Unit

    Frankly I was tired of playing with raspberry pi, usb dongles and vnc software so I purchased a flexradio and it worked ok with the windows software but was still buggy. Then I got an ipad and WOW, my radio now works great from ANYWHERE. This is the best ham radio software app I’ve ever seen on any device!

  • The Perfect Pocket Option!

    The power of HF radio in the palm of your hand. Feel right at home whether you are in a restaurant, at the park, fishing on a boat or driving down the road. This APP provides all the features of SmartSDR and then some. No learning curve as the GUI is beautifully ported onto your modern iOS device with ease.

    I use to have a radio in the shack, one in the car, one in the garage, one to take on the go, a receiver in the bedroom... well you get the idea. Now I have one radio in the shack that I can remote from everywhere!

    Download it
    Turn it on
    Enjoy!
