Perfect portable with QMX+
Turned on VOX on my QMX+, connected radio to iPhone with USB cable, and I am ready for QSOs. Simple user interface but obviously not as flexible as WSJTX, e.g. I like to change xmt frequency when in a pile up but didn’t see a way to do that. Great program!
Works with QRP-LABS QMX+, not with Icom 7100
I have used iFTx with a QMX+ doing a POTA, and it worked well. I cannot use iFTx with my mobile IC-7100 because ICOM does not support VOX on USB.
Super für POTA
Bin total begeistert von dieser App. Habe eine POTA Aktivierung durchgeführt mit meinem Xiegu X6200 und Chelegance Antenne MC-750 mit 7 Watt und iPhone. Habe zwischen FT4 und FT8 hin- und hergewechselt und hatte mit dem Handmikrofon kein Problem das Sendesignal zu übertragen. Es kamen dann innerhalb von 2 Stunden 30 QSO‘s ins Log… 73 de Detlef, DL1EJD

Great solution
Love this. Have it on all my iOS devices and use it regularly. Would love to see FT2 incorporated into it.
FT8 FT4 for QRP SOTA is soooo easy.
It is rare that we have an application that works so phenomenally well out of the box with a radio. I’m using an FT – 891 with a DigiRig 891 and this application just works. Even better, I have a QMX QRP rig with a chameleon off-center fed dipole for backpacking trips. This set up this app on my iPhone make it for ultra portable operations.
My question to the developer is this. Can you please try to figure out how to do JS8CALL or Winlink just like iFTX. That would be an absolute game changer! Keep up the great work.

Works kinda
App works in a basic sense, but needs basic CAT to trigger the PTT for RX. A USB-C cable betewwen the iPad and Xiegu x6200 results in audio going back and forth but you have to trigger the PTT manually. Less than ideal. One of the advantages of radios like this is the built in sound card and USB-C data flow and control. It doesn't have VOX so we're out of luck that way. Note that you can acoustically couple the iPad to the radio by simply setting the two near each other. The iPad decides the sound out of the radio speaker just fine, and the radio accepts the sound from the iPad, but only if you keybtge handset manually at the correct moment.

Response from developer
Thank you for your review. CAT control is not possible on iOS since Apple does not support serial devices on iOS, so you either need a radio that supports VOX or an external sound card mode interface that has a VOX circuitry.
Not worth purchasing
It doesnt work over bluetooth or cable. It inly works using iphones microphone.
ADI File Import Needed
This app works great. Use with Icom-7300, Signalink, and Ipad. This setup replaces HRD and PC.
iFTx has no import capability so can’t use it for my master logbook which contains 8,500 contacts. Ham-Toolbox contains my master logbook. With this setup, iFTx can’t “see” which contacts I have already worked. ADI file import function would really be a plus for a really great product!

Thank you very much for your feedback, much appreciated! ADIF import is already possible, please open the log and tap on the import button at the left bottom. You can then choose the file you would like to import.
Bad
No good.
Where is the help manual?
I cannot find the manual as shown in the screen grabs.

Je l’utilise sur un iPhone sans boîtier digital uniquement le micro à proximité du tel et j’appuie à chaque émission. Je trafique avec ft817
Génial

Doesn’t work
Can’t get it to TX with a digirig and a g90 on either my iPad Air 5th or iPhone 16 pro
Doesn’t activate PTT
Tried on my FT991 and kenwood ts690 with digirig doesn’t activate PTT absolutely no instructions whatsoever on how to use with these radios. Update: set your ft991a vox input to data and vox on F M-list on menu then it will work.
Love this app
Being new to FT8 this app was easy
Just wish it had an option to call different CQ for POTA or QSO parties that would make it more better but love the app and for what it does . Super happy

wifi ic705
Does this software support wifi? I have an ic705 and hope to be able to connect to the radio via wifi and achieve ft8
Alles was ich für FT8 brauche
Nutze ausschließlich diese App für FT8, auch im eigenen Shack. Wozu mit WSJTx rumärgern wenn mein iPhone reicht. Absolut top! Sync der Logs über Geräte wäre noch super, manchmal wechsle ich zwischen iPhone und iPad, da wäre es gut gleich den aktuellen Stand zu haben. Automatischer Upload der Logs (LotW, wavelog etc) wäre auch cool. Aber an sich - absolut begeistert!

Ft4
Great app - ft4 showing as ft8 on pskinfo?
Super!
Es gibt nicht viel zu sagen:
TRX mit MFi-zertifiziertem Lightning Adapter über USB ans SE angeschlossen, Frequenz und VOX eingestellt und Konfigurationsseite der App ausgefüllt. Das erste QSO war nach 5 Min. geloggt (inkl. Aufbau). ufb, danke! 👍 vy 73

Has Bugs- Beware
The app looks promising but I ran into issues right on the setup page. The app will not allow me to add my callsign. It appears in red and error message displays stating to add a valid callsign! Ugh! Forget support. It doesn’t exist.
Lost Contact, can’t reconnect
If a contact is lost due to bad conditions or a time out it is not possible to reconnect again until the station calls CQ.
