Absolutely Fantastic App!
Response from developer
Hey thanks for the note! Glad you’re enjoying and keep watching the updates for even more POTA goodness!
Great customer service and app!
A+++
I’ve been using iFTx for a while and it’s ehh at best. Bought this app the other day and at first I loved it. The features and UI are awesome and easy to use.
Once I started actually using it, I realized I wasn’t hearing much and when I compared the signal reports to iFTx, Greyline was giving a much lower signal report vs the other app. Example, on Greyline, I was seeing one station coming in a -18 to -24, where with the other I was seeing the same station(within a minute or two) at -2 to -4. I would call CQ and no one would respond, but switched to iFTx and I’d get several people calling back.
When I checked the map, I was being heard by close to 300 other stations, so I know it’s not an issue with getting out.
I hope this can get resolved as I do honestly like the look and feel of this app better than anything on iOS.

Hi there and thanks for the report! I haven’t had anyone else mention this discrepancy between apps. I’ve tried myself on the same device with iFTX and Greyline and never observed it either. I did use the two side by side to refine some timing algorithm issues early in development so I definitely appreciate the science of your approach. Greyline applies the exact same logarithmic equation to compute SNR as any other application, so I need to do some digging to understand what could be a problem here. Nothing else was different between your setups? Please contact me on support@greylineft8.com and we can discuss further.
Love the features, but decoding seems off.

I like it but . . .

Hi there! There shouldn’t be any reason you can’t use it with a 991A. Please let me know what problem you’re seeing at support@greylineft8.com and I’m sure we can figure it out.
Easy FT8 on my IPad!!

So glad you’re enjoying and especially appreciate the feedback on the help section. I put a lot of love into that because I know people often are confused about how this magic actually works with the equipment they already have. POTA on!
