### 5/5 — Did it’s job

*2022-01-16, version 2.2*

I’m satisfied

### 5/5 — Only one I could find that would work on Battlefield.

*2020-10-13, version 2.2*

Worked like a charm. Went through so many apps till I finally found this one. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH ANY MORSE APP BUT THIS ONE!!

### 5/5 — Battlefield 4 lantern decoding.

*2020-06-28, version 2.2*

PROMOTTTEEED

### 5/5 — Dice La Camo

*2020-05-20, version 2.2*

Worked perfectly worth the $2 for the Dice La Camo, just remember to take a screenshot of the individual code because you can’t save the message.

### 3/5 — Works good

*2018-09-04, version 2.2*

This app works well, translates lights from Morse code into text easily. It just needs a way to save the message, and add support to change Morse code sound into text.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t save the message

*2018-08-19, version 2.2*

That would be important don’t you think?

### 5/5 — Solid App. No complaints.

*2018-07-02, version 2.2*

Just used it to complete a complex egg on BF4 that involves Morse code. Anyone complaining it doesn’t work must either be incompetent or using an outdated version.

### 5/5 — Does a great job, I love it

*2017-01-14, version 1.1*

Perfect

### 5/5 — Great for Dice LA Camo for BF4

*2016-08-28, version 1.1*

This is great for the Dice LA Camo for bf4. Used it on my Xbox one.

### 5/5 — Bf4 Dice la camo

*2016-06-09, version 1.1*

If you're trying to unlock the dice la camo with this, it works, try to keep it still and close to your tv screen if you're getting random letters, it worked for me
