Pretty good

It’s very hard to exit the app. I wish it could work in portrait mode.

It helped with the Titanic disaster back in 1912 thanks CQD we might need it again for our government lol

Morse Pad

I have found this to be useless at 10-20 wpm but works well at higher speeds. Perhaps I’m not using correctly.

Very Useful

Works well

No exit provided.

You can’t exit the program without shutting off your phone.

I want my money back !

Even on test morse with no noise in the background it can’t decode. I’ve tried everything, all sorts of signals, weak, strong, fast, slow, known speed, everything.

I give up.

This is utter junk and I want my money back.

does not work at all

I know code. Got this app to help my daughter learn with her practice oscillator and it decodes nothing... just garbage no matter what speed i send at. also tried various pitches. waste of $3

Nicht zu gebrauchen

Kann mich dem Kommentar nur anschließen. Hatte auf einer Webseite viel positives gelesen, aber das scheint wohl Fake Kommentare zu sein. Absolut das Geld nicht Wert, Kleinigkeiten fehlen. Layout nicht responsive, Auflösung unscharf. Und das was es machen soll läuft auch nicht rund.

Wish I could get a refund.

This app is absolutely useless!

Don’t waste your time or money

Does not decode reliably at all!!! Ran this in parallel as other (free) decoders and would not decode when the otherwise would. Settings are very straight forward and simple so it is definitely not user error! Hoping that a new release will help but since it has not had a rev in 3 years it is doubtful!

Worth it for Battlefield Easter eggs

I bought this hoping to help with decoding messages in BF1 and discovered it works flawlessly. I found the best way is to go to Ballroom Blitz, set the Hz to 781 and the WPM to 13 and the results are spot on every time. Strongly recommend.

Adjustment needed

My complaint with this is the horizontal forced layout and how difficult it is to close the program. IphoneX , 12/2018 review date.

1-char buffer delay

I use this app to check on how well I’m sending. If I Send at 20 chars/sec. and my words per second are say 15 there a space between each character. It would be nice if there were two adjustments: chars/sec and words/sec.

Also: If I send hello the app displays hell. I need to send an additional char to flush out the receive buffer and then the “o” will display.

Add a clear screen display on the front otherwise you need to flip to the backside to clear.

Automatic Frequency Control (AFC)

Though I had previously written a favourable review I have re-rated the App. Since installing AFC I find that the last keyed character is not picked up by the app. This is very irritating. The last character only appears when the next character is keyed. Have raised the matter with the developer who seemed to know about but will fix it sometime never. It is a shame as this is a nice app.

Simple and works- worth the cost

Like the previous reviewer I was looking for a Morse decoder that could decode audio for a Battlefield 1 Easter egg. This worked beautifully. I didn't even have to adjust anything or toggle on the auto- features; it decoded the Morse very well.

Once I found that the RECORD feature saves a transcription of the decoding, this app became even easier to use. I'd let it run through 3 or 4 repetitions of the pattern and be able to eliminate errors easily. Highly recommend it.

Every once in a while (say 1/50) it would get a letter wrong but I blame that on the audio file also containing a lot of background noise like thunder, bird chirps or artillery.

I tried $0.99 Morse-it and it returned gibberish. And the $9.99 HotPaw seemed excellent but a little pricey given I just wanted it to unlock a puzzle in a video game.

So good job dev! Your app delivers its intended function very well and easily and the price point made it worth the gamble.

Great app but it needs a little work.

I found this app while searching for a morse code reader. I used this app to read morse code from a battlefield 1 video game challenge. Where you need to decipher multiple codes to obtain a secret game item. It worked pretty well on the first try. Not perfect but it worked after using the app to gage the frequency then adjusting the HZ and wpm to get a readable message. It's not perfect because if seemed to read some parts extremely well but other parts where a bit mixed up but legible. There needs to be a pause option when listening so the text can be copy and pasted elsewhere. This is impossible ATM due to the app continually reading the sound. I didn't try to use the record feature yet though. I know that was the intention for being able to save your readings. It would also be great if there was a mic volume adjustment to help filter external noise. I noticed a ton of feed back when the no sound was really present. The mic is overly sensitive. It would also be nice if there was a way to just slide the red line with a slider to target the area you would like instead of needing to make the change numerically. Overall it works pretty well for my use. I'll see how the other 8 morse code tasks work out and update my review in the near future. I've been trying to find something for my use for the past two days. This app worked perfectly on the first shot. It does however need some minor adjustments to make it a tad more user friendly. Great app. I'm hoping for an update with added features I mentioned. This game series I used the app for has had these morse code tests in the past few games. This app will definitely be helpful to me if they continue these secret morse code missions.

KA4Z Great App

I love this app it really copies CW very well which is hard to do with QRN and QSB and depending on the "fist" of the sender which all CW copying software has issues with. Of course it coppies machine sent code perfect after locking the speed. After tweaking a while you learn to set the volume and tones for your set up, meaning speaker and Rig tonal qualities. I guess the CW filter in the rig helps and the APP has a built in DSP. You can lay your phone next to the speaker and it works but I plug in my OEM factory buds into the iPhone and set the microphone of the buds inside a pair of standard headphones and squeeze the cups together, It helps keep the ambient noise in the shack out and only the receiver audio in. Works great. I thought about building a little box to put a speaker in and put an old set of iPhone buds in it. Jameco sells 4 conductor male jacks that could be used to build your own mike and speaker setup but a pair of buds would actually be just as cheap unless you have a good junk box!
