### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging(for me)

*2025-12-05, version 2.0.1*

This app is a genuinely fun way to learn morse code that I’ve been doing as a game to challenge myself and learn. You learn morse code at full speed, it initially shows you the letters and the code, then takes the code away in challenges where you have to memorize what combination of sounds go with which letter. In between sections it tells you history and facts about morse code. I appreciate this app having been made.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-12-03, version 2.0.1*

I love this app sm it really makes you learn in a fun way

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-30, version 2.0.1*

Doesn’t work on an IPhone 12. Tried out the first lecture and couldn’t press any of the letters except 2. What a waste of money. Don’t buy.

### 5/5 — Best Morse Code App

*2025-10-19, version 2.0.1*

I’m so glad to see this back!!! I tried so many apps to learn Morse code, and this is the best- hands down. Thanks for bringing it back!!!!

### 4/5 — Some bugs

*2025-09-17, version 2.0.1*

Retrying a level can actually ADD an entirely new letter. A bug? Or at best, counterintuitive.

### 5/5 — Εξαιρετικό

*2025-09-07, version 2.0.1*

Η δομή που έχει είναι εξαιρετική και σε βοηθά να μάθεις διασκεδάζοντας

### 5/5 — Glad this app is back

*2025-08-18, version 2.0.1*

Thank you for remastering the app. One of my favorite for Morse code practice.

### 5/5 — WOW -- so stoked for this update!

*2025-07-28, version 2.0.1*

I have an iPod touch that I've resisted wiping because I didn't want to lose this app! This is hands down the best app for learning Morse Code. Fun, to the point, good staggering of introducing new letters/numbers, and no data collected on you. Love it, glad to see it's back

### 3/5 — Meh

*2025-06-12, version 1.5.2*

Morse Mania is way better. This is passed off like a game but it's not game-like at all. Sound only works if your  73phone is not in silent mode. Morse Mania has WAY more features and is way more tunable to meet your learning goals. I found the Morse sounds on this app far harder to discern than on Morse Mania, which isn't necessarily a strike against it since you'll never hear noise-free Morse code on your HF rig either. However, on Morse Mania I can enable and control background noise to make it harder if I want. In general, if you're only buying one Morse app or buying your first, I suggest starting with Morse Mania. 73s, KF4DBD

### 5/5 — Welcome Back.

*2025-06-12*

I am sooooo happy to see this back in the Apple App Store. I don’t know how long it was gone.  The app disappeared from my phone after an iOS update.     And I could not find it in the App Store for quite some time.  I used to play this game every day waiting in the car line to pick up the kids from school. I had really gotten rusty at Morse without it
