Morse Code
Morse code is a communication system that uses a series of short signals (also known as dots or dits) and long signals (also known as dashes or dahs) to transmit characters. The initial version of it was developed by Samuel F. B. Morse as a method to transmit natural language through the telegraph in the mid-19th century.

Morse Chat
Morse Chat is an app that allows users to communicate with others using Morse code. Once you sign in, you’ll see 3 big buttons which correspond to 3 main ways of chatting.
- Public Rooms. A number of rooms (10 WPM or less, 15 WPM, 20 WPM or more, Test room and so on) has been created to allow chatting with fellow Morse code enthusiasts. These rooms are open to everyone. Contact us if you have an idea for a new public room.
- Private Rooms. These can be created by premium users, and joined by any user (premium or not) who gets the room ID and password (case sensitive) or is invited by an existing room member.
- Direct Messages (DMs). These are private messages between two participants. Simply create a DM by searching the other user’s display name or call sign.

### 5/5 — Could be better

*2025-04-19*

Just remove the need to pay for words and phrases and then I will give you a better review

### 4/5 — It Would be Better

*2025-04-13*

It would be better, almost perfect, if you could hook an external key to the iPad or iPhone for sending.  I have used “VBAND” web site using a iPhone 16 and a key.

### 1/5 — Idk what’s happening

*2025-03-25, version 3.4.0*

The way the app is designed doesn’t make much sense to me

### 5/5 — Great for learning Morse code

*2024-11-30*

I’ve been using this app for one day, and I’ve already gotten better at Morse code. Talking to people is also just fun, and it’s also fun to have to decipher all of the messages when you’re starting out using Morse code.

### 3/5 — Good but some problems

*2024-05-09, version 3.3.1*

Hello.. why isn’t it possible to delete one letter if I make a direct chat with someone ? I can only delete the whole sentence .. that is annoying

### 5/5 — UPDATE!(Please reply)

*2024-03-20*

I’m trying to send a message and it keeps giving me weird letters I keep tapping the right ones but it comes up a different letter  every time. Need the bugs and fixes to work out. I paid too lol. Other then that great!
