I could barely hear it. I placed it right next to another phone to see if it would pick up the tones on all it gave was a 111 all the time, sorry but it’s a big fail ### 4/5 — It Does Work! *2022-08-03* I’m also flying the A380 and the issue the other two reviewers must be having is they have not selected “Speaker” as the output. To do this, tap the top right to enter the tone type generator menu then again tap top right to select “Speaker” instead of “iPhone” the volume will now be loud enough. Lost a star from me because clearly the UI needs improvement to make it more intuitive. ### 2/5 — Works but far too quiet *2021-10-14* As I said above ### 3/5 — Volume much too low. Please update. *2019-07-28* The volume of the generated tones is super low!! Could you please increase the volume? Thank you. ### 3/5 — Agree with technogeek8905 *2019-05-28* Needs 2 tone paging. QC/QC2, Plectron and GE 99. ### 3/5 — Ok, but missing common formats *2018-10-24* Needs 2-tone paging added. QC and QCII, plectron. ### 1/5 — 32bit App wird auslaufen *2017-06-24* Gerade gekauft und die erste Info beim starten der App: Sie ist in 32bit programmiert und wird unter iOS 11 nucht mehr funktionieren... Toll 😒 **Developer response:** SelCall is a 64 bit app. ### 3/5 — Needs GE STAR *2015-05-04* Needs to add support for GE STAR format tones; otherwise good app. ### 1/5 — Was fair. Now bad. *2015-02-15* This iOS 8.1.2 "fixed" version is worse than the previous version. App is completely unusable now. ### 4/5 — SelCall Tone Generator *2013-11-12* Probably one of the best apps available for iPad / iPhone. Strong emphasis is structured around signaling formats used with the U.K. Formats I would like to see included are: GOLAY POCSAG 5/6 Tone Motorola Quik Call I (2/2 sequential chord tones) Quik Call II Secode 2805 (pulse dialing modulated w/ 2805 Hertz carrier) Thanks ### 3/5 — Has potential *2013-10-06* Fun, but unable to save new or changes to sequences. Would like an option to save sounds for ringtone and such. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Не работает selcall codan *2025-10-21* Не работает selcall codan на iphone 16 ### 1/5 — Aviation. Does not work *2023-02-26* Tried several times. Doesnt work. Interface not very good. It should have a dash. Needs a lot of improvement ### 1/5 — Does not work on aircraft *2022-09-03, version 1.6* This app does not work for airplane selcal tests. There is an android version that works perfectly. ### 1/5 — Useless doesn’t work *2022-08-24* Simply does not work none of the features work you can’t store any code it’s useless ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-08-17* Don’t buy it. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2022-02-02* A bug in the system means you have to delete the app and download it again every time you want to use it. No longer supported by tech support. ### 1/5 — Not all ICAO tones are correct *2020-08-02* J & Q & PNeeds to be checked and corrected ### 1/5 — SelCall *2019-09-20* Not enough volume so didn't work on real aircraft a380 ### 1/5 — Needs updating *2019-06-12* Doesn’t work with current devices ### 1/5 — Speaker *2018-04-09* Use to be able to enable the speaker on the phone app seems to be faulty now don’t bother with it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SELCAL APP *2025-02-21* This app works just fine. There’s a bit of a learning curve to understand how it works, but it’s totally worth it. The default DTMF function is spot-on. If you want to generate SECAL codes, ya gotta dig a little deeper into the program. But, IT DOES WORK!!! ### 5/5 — SELCAL APP *2022-09-15* This app works just fine.

But, IT DOES WORK!!! ### 5/5 — Two-Tone Sequential *2020-02-26* Awesome gap for Generating Quik-Call and Quik-Call II Paging tones, go to the selection menu and go to sequence, add numbers is this format Quik Call (Ex. FAPA/KAGA) Tone Pair 1. Timing First Line: 489.8 1122.1 1000 Second Line: 0 200 - Intertone Gap Thrd Line: 741.3 543.3. 1000 Quik Call II ( QCII Type Y FA/GA) Freq. Line 1 : 489.8 1000 Line 2: 543.3 3000 ### 5/5 — Blackcat selcal *2014-09-30* Excellent ### 5/5 — Great Support from developer. *2014-06-10* Bought this app on a Friday to program a ham radio controller. On Saturday I was having an issue with the program closing unexpectedly. I sent an email to the developer expecting to hear back the following week. Got a reply the same day, they had it fixed by Monday, and the iTunes Store updated the app on Friday. Nice job Black Cat Systems. ### 5/5 — Black cat selcall *2014-04-08* Very useful app for older radios that do not have selcall fitted. ### 5/5 — Very good!! *2014-01-15, version 1.2.1* Very nice application. It works very well. So you can make selective calls even if your radio doesn't have all these types of tone. Very good job. ### 5/5 — Perfect - must have for techos *2013-11-27* This app performs beautifully. It is functional and intuitive to use with no silly graphics or eye candy. If there is any chance of an update my only suggestion would be to add AFSK. Serial control at 1200bd is a common remote control protocol where audio modulation using 2 tones transfers RS 232 serial streams over audio circuits. Congratulations for creating a highly useful tool. ### 5/5 — One of a kind! *2013-09-28* I have been searching the App Store for an application to generate Two-Tone Paging codes for years. I contacted this developer and he came through for me. I have used this application with a number of different transmitters and receiver for testing of different signaling formats. Wonderful app and incredible support. ### 5/5 — Gets better with every update! *2013-08-23* Great app... None other like it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
