It's quirky for me
The app itself is very comprehensive in the design and features it offers.
However I've encountered multiple quirks which make it hard and not fun to use:
- The straight key input freezes everything (the UI) for a bit, which always gives a dash on WPM>=7.
- The single paddle input is also quirky due to how it inputs dashes / dots. It would be nice if it did not extend the dashes automatically (currently it seems to extend even 1.1 time units to a dash – the lack of tolerance is very visible even on even the default 20WPM)
- The "Random groups" training selection almost always gives an element of the "Letters" group. I assume this is because it choses an element at random from all the groups, and letters has ~17k while others (excl. "Numbers" have a couple hundred at most)
- Not sure why "Auto Spacing" is an option, as without it you cannot input spaces at all (even when waiting a dash's duration...)
- Sometimes, especially after changing the WPM, the dashes don't work at all on the single paddle until I go to another input box (then it reloads and works again)
- There is a "Reset settings" button which does not do much for me as the settings reset on restart anyway
There are probably more issues, these are just the ones I managed to encounter.

Tasten reagieren nicht zuverlässig
Eigentlich eine schöne App, aber leider reagieren die Tasten nicht zuverlässig. Wenn man im Eintasten-Modus ganz kurz aufs Display tippt, kommen Striche - ohne Ton. Im Zweitasten-Modus klappt das zwar besser, aber es werden Pausen eher zufällig eingebaut, was dann zu falschen Zeichen führt. Ich vergebe gerne mehr Sterne, wenn das nachgebessert wird.

Eigentlich genau was ich suche, aaaaaber ...
Die App hat eigentlich alles, was ich gesucht habe. Leider ist sie jedoch auf meinem iPhone 13 gar nicht zu gebrauchen, weil alle Morsetasten mit extremer Zeitverzögerung arbeiten. Wenn ich den Bildschirm berühre, dauert es bis zu einer halben Sekunde, bis der Ton zu spielen anfängt. Das ist wie Stricken mit Boxhandschuhen, man kriegt kein direktes Feedback. Auch scheint das interne Timing der App manchmal durcheinander zu geraten. Dann ruckelt das Audio und alles klingt nur noch verwaschen. Ich würde 5 Sterne im Appstore vergeben, wenn diese Probleme behoben werden. So, leider nicht brauchbar.

Fully accessible with Voiceover!
Not only is this app free and with no ads or in-app purchases, but it is FULLY accessible to me as a totally blind iPhone user, because it works GREAT with Voiceover! That's why I give it 5 stars! The only issue I have is that when I'm tapping out the code, there is latency between my taps and the corresponding audio feedback. Please fix that. But other than that, it's a GREAT app for blind ham operators and for blind people who want to learn Morse code in general! I highly recommend it!

Nicht wirklich gut
Nach dem der Preis mehrmals gesprungen ist (4,99 dann 9,99 Euro und dann mal frei) habe ich die App mal ausprobiert. Wie ein Anfänger damit morsen lernen soll ist mir ein Rätsel. Kein Lernsystem hinterlegt, irgendwelche Übungen fehlen. Auch Fortgeschrittene finden nichts zum Üben. Viel Luft nach oben.
