Truly Simple

Simple review for a simple app

Very Good, no ads

Very good, but the live function doesn’t work correctly, it sends the first picture, but only the first, then no images are sent anymore. And maybe with the decoding maybe add a live preview while it’s getting decoded with the microphone.

Ham gone cold turkey

I am a former ham radio operator. I can use this on MURS on my property as a webcam that doesn’t need the internet! This is so cool!
