## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPad

*2023-01-03*

Does not work on iPad and no response from developer DO NOT BUY

### 1/5 — Horrible Bluetooth sound and audio noise control on iPhone-8 running ios14

*2020-11-10*

I wish I could get a refund, the sound of the tone gets very distorted after a few minutes of use with Bluetooth earbuds.  Wired buds sound OK.

### 1/5 — no sound

*2018-06-09*

it would be a 5 if the sound would be working.
how can it even be offered for sale with such a major bug.
UPDATE:
On my iPhone I have sound. The concept is good but there is way to adjust the space between characters to a manageable time for beginners. I set the spacing at 5 but it doesn’t seem to make a difference

### 2/5 — Fairly rudimentary bugs need ironing out

*2020-02-14*

This app does what it says on the tin, however if you hit the prescribed 90% on one set of characters and then repeat it and hit 90% again it will display the next set as completed. Do it again and the third set will appear as completed... This is totally misleading.

### 3/5 — Problema

*2025-10-10, version 1.0.5*

Non riesco a far funzionare l’audio e senza questo è inutilizzabile

### 4/5 — Has promise

*2020-05-04*

I have used it for about 5 mins so far and what I do like about the app is I can type what I hear in the app, I don’t need a separate piece of paper to practice. 
The menu needs some work, for example: settings Should be accessible prior to starting a lesson.  
I will continue to use this app in my practice and will update related later.

### 4/5 — All good but two issues

*2019-05-02*

At the first time training all is good. But second lesson has a changed (awful for ears) sound tone and marking of ended lessons is wrong.

### 5/5 — Molto molto utile.

*2024-09-30, version 1.0.5*

Sono radioamatore da molti anni…. Ho lasciato per troppo tempo questa attività,e adesso voglio riprendere a masticare il CW. Tanto per riprendere un po’ l’orecchio. Questa applicazione mi sembra molto utile per rispolverare questo affascinante modo di comunicare….. Grazie IU5IKK..

### 5/5 — Utilissima!

*2016-08-21, version 1.0*

App completa di tutto; guida perfetta all'apprendimento del cw.
