### 5/5 — Works As Advertized

*2026-07-17, version 1.6.9*

It works with my Match.  Handy to have out in the field.

### 1/5 — Works when it wants to

*2026-01-28, version 1.6.9*

When I first got this in 2024. It worked fine for about a day or two now it decides to work when it wants to. update its now sept 27 2025 i’ve owned the stick X pro for over a year and it’s great, but this app still does not work. It’s basically worthless don’t even bother. If you do get it to work enjoy it for the day or two that it does because eventually it won’t work anymore, at least not on iOS. UPDATE 2026: still does not work with the stick X pro and has never worked with it on iPhone or iPad. please fix this. It would be nice to be able to use this feature.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth issues

*2026-01-14, version 1.6.9*

I was excited to get my new Stick 500. Hooked it up to my HF antenna and Bluetooth connected it to my iPhone. About 2 minutes in and I lost bt connection. Tried to reconnect and it wouldn’t find theStick 500. Powered off/on both items, no luck. Deleted and reinstalled AntScope, still no luck. Tried my wife’s iPhone and my iPad and had same results as before. Downloaded AntScope2 on my Windows pc and it Bluetooth connects fine every time. RigExpert still has some iOS issues to work out.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth issues still

*2025-12-15, version 1.6.9*

This app works great until your iPhone or iPad screen fads then it looses Bluetooth connection and the antscope software can never find your device again. Even if you uninstall software, reset your rigexpert, power down your devices the software can’t connect by Bluetooth.

### 2/5 — Bluetooth Doesn’t work

*2025-11-15, version 1.6.9*

Started to work for about 5 minutes. Now it does not even see my RigExpert Stick XPro. Resetted the iPhone several times. Still no connection.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2025-10-20, version 1.6.9*

Sporadically connects to my iPhone 16 Max.  When connected nothing works n the app.

### 1/5 — Works when it wants to

*2025-09-27, version 1.6.9*

When I first got this in 2024. It worked fine for about a day or two now it decides to work when it wants to. update its now sept 27 2025 i’ve owned the stick X pro for over a year and it’s great, but this app still does not work.

### 5/5 — iPhone iOS 18.6 defective

*2025-08-09, version 1.6.7*

This app is simple and it works perfectly. Bluetooth for iOS iPhone 18.6 has a defect. I am using this iOS AntScope app in my new MacBook Air and it works perfectly.   AntScope2 also works perfectly with my MacBook Air. This app worked perfectly in my iPhone for a few days and then my iPhone bluetooth stopped connecting to the device (stick pro). This app must have bluetooth connection to a device to work.

### 1/5 — Works when it wants to

*2025-06-14*

When I first got this in 2024. It worked fine for about a day or two now it decides to work when it wants to. I don’t know what the deal is if you’re buying a stick or a stick pro or a stick X don’t buy it because it has Bluetooth because that part is just the weight.

### 1/5 — Used to work correctly

*2025-05-17, version 1.6.7*

Worked fine for a while and now all of the sudden it won’t accept any frequency above 230MHz and my Stick Pro goes up to 1GHz
