Functional but
Works but terrible user interface
Unusable with VoiceOver
I made the mistake of not checking out this app before purchasing an Openspot 4 Pro. Since the app hasn't been updated in a year or so, it's probably safe to say that things are not being maintained. Although a few of the controls are able to be surfaced and activated with VoiceOver recognition enabled, the app tends to freeze up which also results in VO hanging or becoming super slow to respond.
All in all, this app version is currently unusable by hams relying on accessibility functionality.

Unusable
Installed on a iPhone 14 OS version 16.5.
Was able to enter in the UID, was able to see the open spot status screen, when attempting to change screens, the software locked up and unable to do anything. Deleted and reinstalled still locked up, not able to even enter in the UI D.

Completely inaccessible to blind users
There are a lot of hams who are blind and use open spot devices such as myself. This app is completely inaccessible to us. You need to make it so that it works with voiceover, Apple's built in screen reader which allows blind people to use many apps and functions of the iPhone.
Excellent
Works as it should and nice to have access without a radio keeps the xyl from noticing ham radio she thinks it’s a cell call hi hi works for me
Useless, doesn’t work at all
Is this app supposed to do something? When I open it I can touch any area in the screen and doesn’t do anything. Garbage. What a disappointment, with how expensive those openspots are and they can’t even have a useful app.

App has potential but right now does nothing for me. Can’t pair Openspot with it. Iphone14 pro max user. Hopefully updates will fix issue.
So need a lot work
The app to work with the openspot3,4 & 4 pro is a great idea. There is however big problem with this version, the app doesn’t respond to clicking on the buttons in the appropriate screen locations. This stops you from using the setting button, the + button. Until fixed may as well not use it.

Does not work
Great advance
Having used peanut a lot, this new option makes the openspot4 pro superb. Now we need to go one step further and have the Apple Watch iwatch capability added.
