User reviews

Developer has abandoned this

Despite loads of support tickets reporting this app no longer works, the developer keeps saying an update is “coming soon” and to just “use the browser”

The browser doesn’t enable one of the main use cases for the 4 Pro - radio-free digital modes. You need the app for that. And this app just flat doesn’t work and hasn’t for years.

Functional but

Works but terrible user interface

Unusable with VoiceOver

I made the mistake of not checking out this app before purchasing an Openspot 4 Pro. Since the app hasn't been updated in a year or so, it's probably safe to say that things are not being maintained. Although a few of the controls are able to be surfaced and activated with VoiceOver recognition enabled, the app tends to freeze up which also results in VO hanging or becoming super slow to respond.
All in all, this app version is currently unusable by hams relying on accessibility functionality.

Unusable

Installed on a iPhone 14 OS version 16.5.
Was able to enter in the UID, was able to see the open spot status screen, when attempting to change screens, the software locked up and unable to do anything. Deleted and reinstalled still locked up, not able to even enter in the UI D.

Completely inaccessible to blind users

There are a lot of hams who are blind and use open spot devices such as myself. This app is completely inaccessible to us. You need to make it so that it works with voiceover, Apple's built in screen reader which allows blind people to use many apps and functions of the iPhone.
