Superb app and great manual
There are only a few apps which give one that transcendent feeling due to their ease of use and the functionality they give to the user.
This is one of those apps.
It is quite clear that the developer is knowledgeable about both software development and about amateur radio. It just works.
The manual is well written, unusually complete and is done using the proper tools. There is both an online and offline (pdf) version available.
I know that this app has a cost to it. But, trust me, this is one of those cases where you actually get more than you pay for. (And, writing and maintaining good software takes time and talent, making this a wise one time purchase.) I got the iPad version first. Then within an hour purchased the Mac version.

Fantastic App with excellent manual
Most apps, even some of the better ones, don’t provide a comprehensive app. This app provides an excellent app. I had some questions regarding connection of the app on my iPad Air to my 9700. All my questions were answered with great clear explanations of the proper setup with my particular model radio. It’s packed with dentures too which enable you to do just about everything you want without additional hardware or software. It’s money very well spent if you own one of the Icom models supported.

Excellent, needs one addition!
An excellent piece of software. Easy to use and very well designed. Lots of YouTube videos to assist with this application.
Needs one more thing to make it a premium experience; JS8CALL really does need to be added! Please, please do try to get this done!

Excellent
I bought this to help out a friend setting it up remotely. So glad I did. Once connected everything just worked. FT8 from an iPad without wires, Logbook, DX-Cluster and an excellent manual to name but a few of its capabilities.
Sometimes the IC-705 doesn’t appear to turn on WiFi even though its displays it has but a toggle on/off fixes it.
CW Decoder not as good as FLDIGI but does work however most CW ops use their ears anyway. Yet to try CW via the iPad though.
Might have to now buy a Midi adapter and Pryme button just to try them out !
Very nice software Marcus. Thank you.

Poor value
It kind of works on my LAN but half the time it wont successfully connect to the radio. When it does, the receive audio is very choppy and difficult to listen to. I think I wasted $50 on this unfortunately. Wish I could return it for a refund honestly.
Response from developer
Hi Kody, why didn't you contact me. I would be happy to help. There are couple of ways to diagnose your issue and I trust it can get resolved. Please either use the App included Contact Developer feature or just send an email to support@ham-radio-apps.com UPDATE: Still no contact to this user so I can't help. Once user (not use if it is this user) tried to contact me using the website form but unfortunately entered a wrong email address so I can't respond. This is, why all my Apps have a Contact Developer feature built in - Update: Unfortunately, this person has never contacted me so I wasn't able to help
The best HAM app for iOS
Thank you Markus for your professionalism and hard work. This app is very useful for new Icom radios. For my opinion it’s mast have app.
Probably next feature what many wants - is adding the voice digital modes like FreeDV. Also how about a FreeData or Winlink client inside smartphone.

Great app but expensive…
Got to say once I got to grips with this it works brilliantly hence 5 stars. I’ve only used FT8 so far, if only Marcus offered discount as if you wanted the software for all your iOS devices your looking at spending a lot of money… Mac version alone is now £100, so if you wanted all versions for your iOS devices your looking at spending around £200 that’s quite a lot of money😀

Not too exciting
Constantly disconnects for no reason when using at home. Tried using with my IC705 for mobile use and it just crashes, over and over and over. I can’t say a lot good here, the FT8 doesn’t even have a contest mode. It’s too bad you can’t get a demo of this app to see if it will work in your situation before you spend $50, I wasted my $50 but maybe it will work ok for you.

Wow!
Having had it for over 12 months I find this app an absolute pleasure to use. Controlling my IC-705 remotely from anywhere comes with ease.
I’m particularly enjoying the FT8 mode, with its simple layout and automatic log book entry. The map is great addition and helps visualise what the band is doing. Looking forward to seeing more modes added like SSTV.
Love the tools and there are plenty of them. Next step for me is adding a bluetooth mic.
There is plenty to enjoy about this app, making Amateur Radio easy.

Awesome app
Great job on this application. I am using it with an IC-705. I have the radio in my Airstream trailer in the backyard, interfacing with an HOA friendly antenna farm. This app allows me to work it all from inside my home instead. Please continue to work on it and improve it. Thanks!
