### 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.

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2024-04-30, version 1.6.5*

This app is terrible. Every second scan the app disconnects from the analyzer. The analyzer is fully charged. iPhone 14 is fully charged. Time between scans is only seconds. This is extremely frustrating and unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Unable to access any saved data scans from memory channels.

*2024-03-03, version 1.6.5*

I’m using the AA-650 Zoom analyzer with this AS App.

The Good News: The Android (Bluetooth) and windows (USB cable) versions work fine. And with this app you can do a live scans.

The Bad News: This app cannot access the memory channels to display any data previously scanned with the analyzer on my 4th Gen. Air Touch IPAD. There is no options in the app’s menu to access them.

Looking for a new, working, updated, version of this AS app.

### 3/5 — Stick pro

*2023-12-05, version 1.6.5*

This app needs a update having problems with the app not communicating with my iPhone 11

### 2/5 — it was fine while it worked

*2023-10-26, version 1.6.5*

From the beginning I had difficulties connecting the mi stick 230 to my phone and PC, now it is completely impossible, I removed the battery and factory reset the analyzer and nothing, The analyzer also blocked when trying to use it in the sun, I had to remove the battery to restart it

### 1/5 — Does not work with AA-3000 ZOOM

*2023-08-09, version 1.6.5*

Despite the previous version of AntScope for iOS stating that the AA-3000 ZOOM was added, my analyzer is not recognized by the app. It simply never connects. Not getting any help from RigExpert either.

### 1/5 — Constantly disconnects.   Worthless.

*2023-04-02, version 1.6.4*

On the very rare occasions it works it's actually pretty ok, but it constantly disconnects from my RigExpert Stick Pro.  I've tried different USB cables, rebooting my computer, updating the software.  Nothing helps.  This app is so bad.  The iOS version is almost as bad too.  Constant connection issues.  You'd think a company who makes such great analyzers would have good software to go with it, but this is not the case.  Worst.  Companion.  Software.  Ever.

### 1/5 — Worked great until…

*2022-11-08, version 1.6.2*

..as reported in the other review…the iPhone app just stopped finding my Stick Pro.  Stills works on my iPad at the moment.  RigExpert needs to fix this…I wouldn’t recommend the stick products without being able to use the app

### 1/5 — Worked great for about a week

*2022-07-15, version 1.6.1*

I was loving this app and the fact I could look at extended graphs on my iPhone while using my Stick Pro in the field. Today all of a sudden the phone wouldn’t recognize the device anymore. After several resets of the analyzer as well as my iPhone it still doesn’t see it when trying to connect. Checked it with my iPad and works fine. All my other Bluetooth devices also work fine with my iPhone, so it’s not the phone itself. Somehow the iPhone app just doesn’t want to see the analyzer, so now it’s basically useless. Rigexpert please fix this app so it works.

### 1/5 — Not Connecting

*2021-12-29, version 1.5.1*

This software is an insult. It is not connecting to my iPhone 13 with latest iOS. Absolutely disappointing.

### 1/5 — Will not connect to Rigexpert 230

*2021-09-30, version 1.4.7*

App will not connect to RigExpert230.  Same results using app on iPad and iPhone.  All firmware is up to date.  Funny thing it work once then lost connection.  Was using iPhone then switched to iPad, worked first time then stopped.  Reinstalled app on both devices still no joy.  App is completely useless to me.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2021-07-21, version 1.4.4*

The user should be able to input a value for center frequency and span without using the sliders
The sliders are not very granular

Direct keypad entry into the settings boxes does not work

This should be simple

### 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.

### 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. 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — No connectivity

*2025-05-01, version 1.6.7*

I wish I could give it zero stars. It will not connect to my 230. It recognized it one time and never again since. Now it doesn’t even show up under models. Terrible support from an otherwise great company.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2024-10-06, version 1.6.5*

This is a crucial app for getting the most out of the rig expert stick 230. The company seems to have abandoned it. If it works in your hardware and iOS, lucky you, if not , tech support will tell you to update , but there's nothing new

The Bluetooth connectivity to the stick 230 was always iffy, now the app doesn't even find the device (ios18, iPhone 16 Pro)

### 1/5 — IOS 17.4.1 Bluetooth not working

*2024-04-06, version 1.6.5*

With iPhone 14 and RigExpert stick 230, Bluetooth non working

### 5/5 — Works As Advertized

*2026-07-17, version 1.6.9*

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

### 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.

### 5/5 — iPad

*2024-08-23, version 1.6.5*

Works fine on iPad with current PadOS

### 5/5 — It seems to work now very well!

*2024-05-18, version 1.6.5*

Now with iPhone 15 pro all mesurements are running well. Testet in in several vehicles connected RigExpert Stick pro to the Antennaplug inside, while adjusting Antenna outside. Just perfect!
Only thing I would like to have, a run loop for permanent start the diagram like built in at Stick by double click ▶️
Keep on going!
Regards Mike

### 5/5 — Update fixed disconnect

*2022-06-16, version 1.6.1*

Latest update fixed Bluetooth disconnect for stick pro!

### 5/5 — Works GREAT

*2021-04-30, version 1.4.4*

This app works great on the supported models ... guess you have to READ to know what you are downloading or at least have the right model. ...who knew!  Anyway, another great product from trusted test and analyzer equipment.  Thanks, I use it everyday!

### 5/5 — An incredible addition to a great tool

*2021-02-10, version 1.4.4*

Using AntScope with the Stick Pro 600 adds an amazing amount of visualization of information. I’ve been using it daily for about a month now and have found it to be an invaluable addition to the amazing Stick Pro 600. The Smith Chart tool is an antenna builders dream. Great piece of software, many thanks to the RigExpert team!

### 4/5 — Found connecting secret

*2022-06-19, version 1.6.1*

Iphone and IPad connect initially but disconnect after 30 seconds Used with Stick 230.  But if you have unit connected to antenna, IMMEDIATELY start a SWR scan. Then the Stick 230 keeps the connection. Other parameters can be accessed and function. Works on both iPhone and iPad. 73 KF6LU

### 4/5 — Good software but this release don’t allow save and send data

*2021-08-14, version 1.4.5*

I own a Rigexpert 55 zoom Bluetooth and this software is a potentially useful tool. 
Unfortunately this release seems does not allow to save and send data so it useful is limited for now. 
Hope the developers read this note: I will be very glad to give five stars once I’ll be able to save .csv file and send them trough email or other ways to further elaboration.

### 3/5 — Issues

*2024-08-07, version 1.6.5*

Connection to Stick Pro is instable and app needs sometimes a restart to work correct. I wish it would be more stable and has more features to analyze and print a plot.
