### 1/5 — Reads but will not write

*2026-04-28, version 1.6*

Using my iPhone I can read from the radio but when I write to the radio it stops at about 80 % and displays Fail. 
I then have to reset the radio to get it working properly.

### 1/5 — The app does not cover all Radioddity

*2026-01-11, version 1.6*

This app doesn’t work with the GM-30 PRO

### 1/5 — does not work

*2025-12-28, version 1.5*

Will “connect” to the radio but will not read or write.  Virtually useless.  Can they not fix this like B-Tech?

### 1/5 — Zero stars

*2025-11-05, version 1.5*

The app won’t work with iPhones (connects but no read/write). Zero support.

### 1/5 — This must be a joke

*2024-08-26, version 1.5*

Some pages have white text on a white background. That’s fun. Others leave you scratching your head. After enough trial and error, somehow I got it to work and make changes on the radio.

### 4/5 — Update

*2023-08-28, version 1.5*

There are 2 “panels”to connect the radio. Hit the uppermost panel and it connects right away.  I don’t know why they don’t show a better separation. The only problem I found was I have to force quit the app and restart it to get the “write” to show up. Otherwise the keypad won’t go down. They could also change the color of some of the text fields to make it easier to read. 8Especially when saving.

### 1/5 — Was working but now will not connect.

*2023-07-17, version 1.5*

The app connected very quickly when I first got the radio yesterday. It was working tonight and I made several channel additions. Now the Bluetooth will not connect. It just says updating for about 30 seconds and then a link comes up that says Update. The MAC of the radio shows on the iPhone screen. The MAC disappears when I turn Bluetooth off on the radio and reappears when I turn it back on. I rebooted my phone. I deleted the app and and reinstalled. Neither charged the behavior. 

Before tonight it was working but there were some minor issues. Now the app is unusable.

### 1/5 — Works, but….CHIRP is better

*2023-05-24, version 1.5*

The app works. It’s clunky for sure, and not exactly easy to figure out without some help from YouTube videos, but I haven’t had the connectivity issues others have experienced. I have had one incomplete upload causing my radio to not receive transmissions as I had set it up to be a scanner for a race event. Good thing I had a backup plan. Ultimately, I ended up using CHIRP to really dig into it and discovered a lot of channels I had programmed in the app had not been programmed at all or were corrupted. I had to reset the radio to factory settings before I could fix anything in CHIRP. Long story short: use CHIRP if you plan on making lots of changes at once. It’s the only way to be sure everything is set correctly.

### 1/5 — App,is a hoax

*2022-07-23, version 1.5*

This app is a waste of time. Does not work.

### 3/5 — Getting Better

*2022-06-17, version 1.5*

Version 1.5 is way better than the previous version. Thanks for fixing it.
