## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Buggy interface

*2025-09-19*

Cannot be closed or swiped away without locking and unlocking the phone. Also always opens in landscape mode with no option for rotation.

### 2/5 — Plays audio through phone speaker only

*2016-01-29*

Works, but audio is played through the phone speaker not the music speaker. Only useful with some sort of headphone setup.

### 3/5 — Too quiet

*2024-01-25, version 1.2*

The app doesn’t let you direct the sound to the speaker phone type output. It comes out just the ear piece and is very quiet. It seems you have to use an external speaker to make it louder.  The phone has a loud enough speaker in it already so I don’t know why they didn’t direct the sound out of the bottom speaker or make a way to control the output volume.

### 3/5 — Only works on iPad not iphone

*2023-03-21*

Works great on iPad, but only receives on iPhone. Otherwise I’d have given it five stars

### 4/5 — Rating of Hellschreiber

*2022-11-26, version 1.2*

I found this app excellent and performing perfectly as claimed on my iPad.. However, it performs inadequately on my iPhone. On the iPhone, it will not transmit. It receives fine. It just won’t emit any sound from the iPhone.

I’ve gone thru everything I could think of and reviewed every YouTube presentation on sound troubles with iPhone sound problems. Every other app I run on my iPhone emits sound properly.. only the Hellschreiber fails.

I contacted your help desk and he was very courteous and made many suggestions, but still no sound output. 

I was very discouraged and perplexed over this problem.

I would have rated the app five stars if the iPhone sound worked.  It’s great on the iPad.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2013-08-21*

Good for sending and recieving feld-hell. Not giving 5 stars because of the price.

### 5/5 — Only works on iPad not iphone

*2026-05-04*

Works great on iPad, but only receives on iPhone. Otherwise I’d have given it five stars

After significant trials, got working on iPhone.. Not problem with the app, just a setup problem on iPhone.

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2021-10-22, version 1.2*

Great piece of kit.

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2020-03-02*

Einzig was noch fehlt wäre die Möglichkeit das als Audio Datei zu speichern. 

Danke für die Mühe!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2019-08-25*

Use this nifty package with iPhone 6 and a homebrew cable going to my KX3 radio. Works very well as a super small digital field station. Easy to setup the macros for typical QSO. Highly recommend. de K5YR

Works great on my iPhone 6+!

### 5/5 — Awesome Tool

*2015-01-15*

Awesome! Sends and receives flawlessly. A compact package that does everything you want it to. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2014-08-16*

Only app on any web store that can decode Hellschreiber. Works so well and I'm glad I found this software when I did!

### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2014-07-22*

This app just works.  It is very easy to send and receive Feld Hell.  I only wish there was more Feld Hell to be had on the bands.  

I have been using this app with my portable station.  There is a long list of customizable macros that make using this app very easy.

### 5/5 — Great developer. Great app.

*2014-04-01*

The developer is awesome. This is just another great app. Thanks!!!
