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!!
Response from developer
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!
Need tech support suggestions wrong entity comes though
Looking forward to seeing these bugs fixed :))

Hello!! I love the features but the entity comes up wrong on the grid. I am in Iowa and it shows as IL.
Also getting IPAD sound disconnection errors

Works well
Would be nice to have input/output level control in app to avoid having to readjust in the radio for each app I use. Also, on my ipad mini, the decodes text font size is a bit small. Ability to increase font size would be a bonus.
Will be using it again for sure. I recommend it as a great improvement over iFTx. Thanks!
Response from developer
Thanks for the note! Your input control is the volume buttons on your device - it automatically compensates for incoming volume as well as it can. Glad to hear it worked well for you on the 891! I will consider adjustable font sizes for the future but accounting for individual taste there can be tough with a carefully laid out UI. Did you try portrait mode on the iPad? It should default to a layout with more spacing if you do. Keep activating and 73 😁
