### 4/5 — IPhone 8+

*2017-12-08, version 1.2*

I can’t get my iPhone 8+ to see Bluetooth on Bluestack Micro on DVMEGA (running hr3.18 firmware).
And yes, please get DStar working...
I have full data plan on T-Mobile.
My Samsung T-Mobile tablet app works, connect to BT Blue Stack, connects to reflectors on DStar.
I’m still struggling with the DMR working.
Thanks

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Non funziona

*2020-01-17, version 1.3*

Non funziona ne iPhone ne iPad

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2018-09-13, version 1.3*

Tough comment but it does not connect to bluetooth. No troubleshooting. Works fine on Android. Using BLE,I don’t see the bt signal. Its there because it works with android.

### 1/5 — Bring back the last version

*2018-02-17, version 1.3*

App completely useless now after last update. App crashes when tapping the DMR switch. Finally after it crashing 8 times was able to connect to BM..... for 15 seconds before crashing. Removed app and reinstalled with same results.

### 1/5 — The update removed D-Star without warning

*2017-10-07, version 1.2*

D-Star was working fine but this update removed it.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Bludv

*2020-08-26, version 1.3*

### 5/5 — Great app for the iBlue-Stack.

*2017-10-07, version 1.2*

DMR Masters require to be changed every so often, but otherwise this is a phenomenal application to connect to DMR network through your iPhone.
Thanks so much for support and development !!!
P.S. Maybe there is some way to make D-Star work?
