### 2/5 — Will not find my radio

*2026-06-30, version 2.3.1*

The app will not locate and connect to my radio, DM-32uv. The BT-1AD is completely inserted into the radio and charged. Any ideas?

### 2/5 — Too many problems

*2026-05-31, version 2.3.0*

Works fine with my UV-5R mini but on my UV-5R I have a frequency programmed into channel “0” and when it reads the channels from the radio the app starts reading at channel “1” so all of the frequencies are off by one channel and there is nothing I can do about it. 

It’s usable but not good.

### 2/5 — No airband support for 5R-mini

*2026-04-26, version 2.1.2*

The app is convoluted, but usable. My only real complaint is that I cannot enter airband frequencies  and if any are programmed, they get wiped when you write to the radio again.

### 3/5 — More options please

*2026-01-25, version 2.0.1*

It would be great to rename each device on iPhone much like on an Android phone. Best option now is to save a ‘plan’ for each radio.  

It would be great to tell you what settings to turn on the radio to allow Bluetooth connection to the app.

### 1/5 — Product

*2026-01-09, version 1.2.9*

This app sucks horribly. I can’t even get the code sent to my email to register as a new user. Yes I’ve checked spam and all the other BS.

### 1/5 — Registration

*2026-01-09, version 1.2.9*

App never sends verification code for registration. Useless.

### 1/5 — No verification code

*2026-01-08, version 1.2.9*

I cant receive verification code to my Gmail

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-01-08, version 1.2.9*

Can’t create account verification code does not appear on email

### 1/5 — Radtel rt-950 pro

*2026-01-07, version 1.2.9*

App doesn’t allow hf frequency 027.xxx. 
Works fine with vhf/uhf frequency 
Disappointment ****

### 1/5 — Can not create an account

*2026-01-07, version 1.2.9*

I try to create new account, but I did not receive verification code onto gmail. I used other e-mail adres onto other service provider, but same, no verification code. Spam and others checked.

### 1/5 — Cannot create account

*2026-01-06, version 1.2.9*

I try to start a new account I and enter in all my information, including my email. I then try to verify the code sent to my email but the code is never sent to my email.  Kind of hard to create an account when the verification code is never sent to your email.  And yes, I verified that I had entered in my email address correctly.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2025-12-31, version 1.2.9*

I was able to register, but the app doesn’t work. Was never able to connect to the radio, tried everything.

### 1/5 — Won’t Register Account

*2025-12-31, version 1.2.9*

Useless! Wont even send the required validation code, so unusable….

### 1/5 — Issues

*2025-12-30, version 1.2.9*

It’s a shame could be a handy app but I can’t register because password issue despite receiving code

### 1/5 — spyware

*2026-05-09, version 2.2.0*

Do not download this app; it has spyware that will take over your Wallet account on your iPhone without you knowing it.

### 1/5 — Very invasive app

*2026-03-08, version 2.0.3*

You must allow an excessive amount of data collection and sharing of personal information in order to use this. No thanks China.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work for me

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-08-15, version 2.5.2*

No problem

### 5/5 — A Refreshingly well-built app.

*2026-07-14, version 2.3.3*

I was very impressed how clean the interface was.  It works as you would expect it.  The channels are nicely organized and upload and download flawlessly.

Make sure you disable the Wireless CPS when you are finished!

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-06-09, version 2.3.1*

Easily connect and bind all my radios. So cool I can let everybody use the radio and I use this app as my radio and talk to everyone. Not sure why the negative reviews but this app is so useful and easy to use.🤷‍♂️

### 5/5 — Pretty Good!

*2026-05-15, version 2.2.0*

so basically this app is pretty useful even though I’m using a UV-5R mini! give it a try!

### 5/5 — Works

*2026-03-23, version 2.0.4*

Seems to work fine

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-01-01, version 1.2.9*

So easy to use, connected immediately and once I write all my channels into the app I saved the plan, then synced with each radio individually. This saved me hours of typing it in on each radio one by one. You can name each channel and manage all 999 channels right in the app.

### 4/5 — It works

*2025-12-17, version 1.2.8*

It works

### 4/5 — Update on registration

*2025-11-21, version 1.2.5*

I downloaded the app again and was able to register. 
It read the radio and was able to program two of them.
The software is mainly GUI (general user instruction). I found this to be true after a good night sleep. The next day I found something new with regards when creating new files and deleting the old.
I recommend numbering your radio(s)to correspond with your save files, if you have two to program. 
You must turn on wireless feature in order to program them from software on your phone.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2025-11-17, version 1.2.5*

Once you navigate the clunky app, it does work ok and is handy to make changes in the fly .. needs streamlining

### 4/5 — Horrible but ok

*2025-11-14, version 1.2.4*

This app could’ve been made by some baaaaad ai, that’s how bad it is. It’s a shame how something that should be so simple is simply butchered beyond any help. (I gave 2 stars bec at least it logs in, unlike the Odmaster app)

*edit I gave two more stars because I figured out how to use it off-line
