## What is Spektrum DXe Programmer?

If you've ever managed a music library on your PC or smart phone, you can program the DXe. All you need is the free Spektrum programming app. Using this interface you can create and save basic model setups with different settings for:

-Servo Reversing
-Stick Configuration: Modes 1-4
-Wing Type: Normal or Delta/Elevon
-Expo: On or Off
-Trainer Modes.

For advanced programming features such as stick configuration, wing type selection, expo on/off function, model setup import and many more, the Spektrum programming cable (SPMA3081-Mobile) is required. Basic programming features such as servo reversing and trim adjust can be used without the programming cable.

Once saved to your mobile device, you can upload the setup for a specific model to the DXe with a simple point and click.

You can also use the interface to upload pre-programmed setups for Bind-N-Fly® aircraft.

Note that the application currently supports only fixed-wing aircraft.

## Key features

- Create and save model setups
- Servo reversing
- Stick configuration (Modes 1-4)
- Wing type selection (Normal, Delta/Elevon)
- Trainer modes
- Upload pre-programmed setups

### 5/5 — Spektrum DXE Programmer

*2023-09-20, version 1.0.9*

Good app that works as advertised.  Connection works fast and reliable when using the Bluetooth adapter in the DXE for connectivity.  Changeable programming features are grouped together and setting changes are familiar to AS3X receiver changes.  Using the app allows the DXE to be quickly and easily reconfigured for multiple aircraft along with easy setup for compatibility with forward programming receivers.

### 1/5 — Get An Electronics Degree

*2021-05-25, version 1.0.9*

About as bad as an app can get. Far too great a gap between the app and what an average, but conscientious, rc flyer can be expected to know.  Frustrating when all you want to do is fly the plane and all the poorly explained electronics get in the way.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-09-21*

This app is a complete waste of time, you can’t change settings like expo etc. And it’s just horrible to try and use.
Stick to programming your DXE via a lap top and the USB programming cable!
Expected more from Horizon Hobby than this, very disappointing

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-07-15, version 1.0.9*

I have a micro timber and I need to get this USB adapter Because when I bound it with my DXE the flaps were down in the flap switch was not bound.  When I assigned  the flaps on my dxe to the flaps switch on the app (and changed nothing else) the throttle is on the elevator!  The throttle is assigned to the throttle channel but the elevator controls it.  No matter what I change, throttle is on the elevator.  Useless!  I would give zero stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect to iPhone 11

*2020-06-10, version 1.0.9*

How can Horizon/Spektrum sell a product that requires two cables that you have to purchase separately, then use this app that doesn’t work? This is so frustrating

### 5/5 — How

*2020-05-29, version 1.0.9*

To clarify what's going on here. When it asks to connect to Bluetooth, you need the little Bluetooth connector that plugs into the back of your radio.

### 1/5 — Is this a joke?

*2020-05-15, version 1.0.9*

Turned my transmitter useless because the app crashes pretty much every 5 seconds. Used the app for 5 minutes and it refuses to finish updating my firmware so the transmitter is stuck in update mode till the end of time for all i know. Just throw this app in the trash

### 1/5 — Pour passer en mode avancé mettre en anglais

*2020-05-08, version 1.0.9*

Impossible d’accéder à l’écran « à propos » pour passer en mode avancé car ça plante.
Solution : mettre l’application en anglais et tout fonctionne bien mieux.

### 1/5 — Bringt garnix

*2020-01-11, version 1.0.9*

Habe versucht meine dxe mit der App und den bt Modul zu koppeln dabei klappte schon garnix 1 Stern werde aber auch nicht mehr bewerten können da ich das bt Modul wieder zurück schicke so wie den Sender auch absolute verarsche!!

### 1/5 — Bug

*2019-08-25, version 1.0.9*

Bug tout le temps
