DS1UOV's Morse Trainer User Reviews

Most effective way to learn CW like LCWO

This app is perfect as it has everything that other apps are missing. It uses the Koch method instead of instant character recognition, it has the LCWO letter order which is proven to be most efficient, it allows you to set a separate character feed and effective speed, and it lets you practice full words and callsigns. The UI is really nice and easy to use, it's as if the author made the famous LCWO into a user-friendly mobile app!

Only comments: the app should not allow the user to select a character speed of
less than 25WPM (effective speed of less than that is of course okay). And I think it should give the user 2 stars for 15WPM and 3 stars for 15WPM at 1 minute, but this is a tiny detail.

Thank you so much for making this!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for such an incredible and detailed review! Hearing that the app checks all the boxes for you, from the Koch method and LCWO letter order to the UI, absolutely makes our day. Knowing it feels like a user-friendly mobile version of LCWO is the ultimate compliment. Your feedback on the character speed limit and the star rating system is extremely valuable. Currently, the system is designed to award 3 stars for 20 WPM and above for more than 1 minute, 2 stars for 15 WPM and above for more than 30 seconds, and 1 star for 15 WPM and under or 30 seconds and under. To be honest, we initially worried that 15 WPM might be a bit too low of a threshold for a 3-star rating. However, your perspective got us thinking! We would love to know if there is a specific reason or a common training milestone behind your suggestion to give 2 stars for 15 WPM and 3 stars for 15 WPM at 1 minute. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this, or any other features you'd like to see, anytime. Thank you again for your amazing support!

How do I get a refund.

The key board function is very clunky and non responsive. I would like a refund

Response from developer

We are sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced. Based on our internal testing, the keyboard function is operating normally; however, performance issues can sometimes occur due to specific device environments or background app conflicts. ​We recommend trying to [Settings > Reset App] to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, please contact us at support@commonsourcelab.com with your device model and OS version. We will investigate this immediately to provide a solution. Regarding refunds, please follow the standard procedure provided by the App Store, as all transactions are managed by them directly.

Effective speed doesn’t work

I like that the letters match lcwo.net but the effective speed setting does nothing. Setting 25/5 or 25/10, it still does 25/25. It’s a fine app if you don’t want to use Farnsworth spacing, I guess.

Response from developer

​Thanks for the input. We're reviewing the feature now. ​Please note that our Farnsworth implementation specifically targets the spacing between groups. While the 5 characters in a group maintain the character speed (e.g., 25 WPM), the pause before the next group starts should be significantly longer. ​Is the interval between these groups still appearing too short for you? We’ll do another internal check to be sure.
