Great addition to the iPad and IC-705
I really enjoy this app. It has been solid and easy to learn. The Wi-Fi configuration on the 705 was easy enough using the built-in manual. The native FT8 system is a real bonus. Seems to work well with my Sony Bluetooth headset for SSB QSO’s. Vox or PTT. The access to the radio memories is very handy also. A very good choice !! N1GZZShow lessWHITVT
More Fun than a Barrel of Patch Cords
This App is a gamer changer for my IC-705. It makes FT-8 a breeze to setup and use. Getting to lay back on my couch and operate the rig is a true blast. And, that is a wonderful thing for any operator that has serious health issues. I’m in awe of what the developer has already provided and I look forward to new additions.Show lessna4i
Best IC-705 control app
Incredible job of remote control for my IC-705 radio. Beautiful design and operation. Controls work smoothly and quickly across a network. Very happy to have this program.engineergene
Must have App for IC-705 IC-7610 IC-9700

I want to thank you for coming out with a great App for the IC-705
and the immense amount or work to get such a great program to work
Ability to use your IC-705 with SDR-Control via Wi-Fi both over Networks or with the built-in Access Point with no USB cables
makes it all worth it
Your App is certainly worth the $44USD and really like it better than the others out there that are Windows 10/11 PC based such as RS-BA1V2 , Win4ICOM, or the RasPi products RigPi MFJ1234 and wfview software to shame
Having Spectacular Color Spectrum Scope and WaterFall displays
The added FT8, Cluster, DX Spots, maps and logging make SDR-Control an Great App for iOS products on the iPAD
Great for SOTA/POTA and to take out on into the Field
The iPad is the perfect platform choice for the IC-705 and working with both Access Point and over Networks is working great for me and a dream come true !
Setting up is a breeze and the Manual is easy to follow Jw
Great and easy App to remote or use with your Icom Radio
SDR-Control is a must have App if you have an iPAD and any of these ICOM Radio’s IC-705 , IC-7610 or IC-9700

A great start
This is a great start to a complicated app. This sort of software takes a lot of time and effort to write and we’re only going to get great iOS Amateur Radio apps if we supporter developers willing to take the time and risk to write this kind of software. I look forward to increasing stability and more features.Show lessThe Angry Monkey
Outstanding!
This is the app I wanted to write but never found the time. I bought the version for my MacBook Air a few weeks ago and that’s great, but this is even better for portable operation.
Installed on my iPad Mini, it loaded the settings saved to iCloud from my MacBook and connected to my IC705 with no problem at all. Voice and FT8 work perfectly.
I would give it 10 stars but it only allows 5 :-)
I hate the term ‘game changer’ but this is…

Does NOT restore existing radio settings on exit.
The current versions of both the Ipad and MacOS apps Do NOT restore existing radio Data Mod settings on exit which changes the audio in / out paths for the radio. The authors solution is to “manually restore” the settings on the radio after exit - not a useful solution for remote use. A well behaved (useful) app WILL restore existing radio settings on exit.Show lessMollie9999
Developer Response
The App does restore the settings (see the Radio Tap)Buggy
Update to below. Developer responded quickly with a revision. Problem was with dual waterfall display on the 7610. Works well now. Great app! —- My original review: Shows GREAT potential but quite buggy on initial use for me.AllenUSA
Wow so many features icom take note !
This is superb, integrated ft8, logging, psk reporter, band plans and you can operate easily and smoothly from your iPad!
This is the new benchmark, it’s so feature rich and slick. I love it!Mattbw
Game Changer!
I’ve been really enjoying the Mac version of this app for several months, so I got this iPad version the moment it came out. So far I’m really happy with it. The ability to sit on the couch and pop on 20 for a little FT8 really changes the way I use my IC-705. It’s great! Having the full control of your radio from a UI like this is really an empowering experience. It takes a few minutes to find where all the options and settings are hidden (some things in ‘view’, some in ‘tools’ others in ‘settings’), but it’s all in there. I’ve configured mine to log to MacLoggerDX on my Mac as well as to iCloud so contacts go right into my standard workflow. I’ve been using AirPod Pros with good results for audio. I love the 3D earth maps for PSK Reporter and received signals. It really helps me visualize my signal propagation. Bottom line, this is a really fun app. If you have an IC-705, IC-9700 or an IC-7610, you should get this app.
This app is great, but not perfect (yet). Here’s my wish list:
• I’d love to see support for other modes like HF Fax, RTTY, PSK and maybe even JS8call or APRS decoding.
• It would be wonderful to have a mode for operating remote for SOTA and POTA. I imagine a mode where it sense remote operation when you connect direct to the IC-705 WiFi and then it can calculate your grid square and maybe even look up your park number via GPS and log to a separate log file for that session.
• I wish there was support for a physical keyer.
• I really wish i could talk to other users. Could we have a Discord/Telegram/Slack/something to share tips and tricks between users and give feedback?Show lessTJ Teru
