### 1/5 — Covered by notch

*2025-07-08, version 1.3*

Only runs in landscape mode and thus the iphone 16 notch covers the controls. Kind of wish the developer would just charge for this and fix it. D star is also gone.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-01-24, version 1.3*

Will this ever be updated again? So much focus on the Android side but would like to see the Apple side get updates. Great program

### 5/5 — Bluetooth C4FM Hotspot

*2021-06-06, version 1.3*

Works extremely well when IPhone is connected via USB connection versus BT. Noticed that when connected via BT then audio would clip. Like the ability to pick rooms through menu versus searching on WiresX on HT.   Also a big plus is the boot time and shutdown process of Blue Stack is more stable than Pi Star in mobile application.  Hopefully this application will continue to be supported and updated for those using DVmega for their mobile hotspot.

### 1/5 — DMR

*2021-05-03, version 1.3*

L’App da sola non funziona. Occorre acquistare apposito modulo in vendita dallo sviluppatore (45 €) oppure aver già un RTX per DMR o C4FM con Bluetooth. A questo punto meglio usare solo la radio che funziona senza senza necessità di avere il collegamento internet.

### 1/5 — Hope it gets updated someday!

*2021-04-08, version 1.3*

Title says it all.

### 5/5 — Bludv

*2020-08-26, version 1.3*

Funziona benissimo grande app è proprio utile io ho sentito che non funzionava ma se non sai come configurare  andate a vendere le noci 73 iu8jpo

### 1/5 — Blue dv not working on iOS 13

*2020-07-05, version 1.3*

Will not import call or dmr I’d dmr toggle grayd out.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2020-07-01, version 1.3*

I have completed the setup and restarted it several times. Will not allow me to activate C4FM or DMR.

Just sits awaiting me to choose a mode. 

Useless.

### 1/5 — BT doesn’t connect

*2020-04-22, version 1.3*

I can’t connect to the DVMega /BlueStack using iOS Bluetooth.   My Android tablet connects fine.

### 4/5 — Iphone

*2020-01-18, version 1.3*

Works Great but, when there's no traffic it disconnects when running in background.
