Morse-it is an easy-to-use application that lets you translate, interpret, type, learn, convert Morse code, and more. You can run it on your iPhone or iPad and it is compatible with VoiceOver. Note: By getting this app, you'll have access to several useful and fun features related to Morse code (these are the features explained in this description and visible in the screenshots). In addition, you can unlock advanced features in the app if you need them: learning and social features. More information at the end of this description. Type any text and it will be automatically encoded into a full-screen flashing effect of the corresponding Morse code. The flashlight of your device is also used. Your "SOS" messages will be seen quite far away! Some sound will also be played accordingly. In detailed mode, the encoded text will scroll during the decoding process. Tap some Morse code on the screen and the program will translate it into some text. Several input types are supported: Novice, Straight Key, Memory Paddle, Iambic Paddle (A and B), Microphone. Left and right handed modes are supported. Test and improve your skills: are you good enough to be understood? Create Morse code audio files from a given text (or variables). Use these files as you like: listen to them to train your decoding skills or use them as ringtones for your mobile phone. Create beautiful abstract wallpapers for your device (or posters to be printed) by customizing the display of the dashes and dots of the sentence you like. Exclusive feature that allows you to decode in real time the Morse code recorded by the microphone into text (note: the sound must be quite clear/loud and without much noise). Some automatic calibration is performed, allowing adaptation to speed, tone and volume changes. The full Morse alphabet (including prosigns) can also be viewed and the associated Morse code can be played. Tapped and decoded text can be edited and exported to clipboard, in-app email and SMS. A special screen allows textual conversion of Morse code and text. Exchange encrypted messages with your friends. Wikipedia and Visual Mnemonic screens to get information and mnemonics about Morse code. You can also add your own websites for in-app consultation. The whole application is highly configurable (frequency, WPM, tone type, color, Morse code, variables ...) A customizable today view widget can be added to your home screen to display the current date in Morse code. Some custom actions are available in the shortcut app, and some features of the app can be triggered using Siri. You can also become part of the Morse-it Social Club (thanks to a renewable subscription) and unlock the following Social features: Messages, Forums, QSO Bot, Poem of the Day, Quotes of the Day, Games of the Day ... and more. The following Learning features will also be unlocked (but can also be unlocked with a single one-time in-app purchase if you prefer): Koch trainer, Sending trainer, Cards trainer, CWops Academy learning method, Quiz, Macros, Dictionaries: abbreviations, QSOs, mnemonics, timing (Farnsworth) and Morse alphabet/Prosigns personalization, appearance customization ... and more. Some Morse-it features are powered by Icom, a world leader in the amateur radio market. !!! As seen on TV !!!

Miles / 1966

MILES / 1966 A mechanical cockpit. A clearer story behind every run. Miles is a focused straight-line performance logger for legal, controlled testing environments. Record a run, look beyond the final number, and keep its conditions beside the result. One purchase, without subscriptions, ads or a Miles account. UNDERSTAND YOUR RUN New runs save a time series for speed splits, an available-GPS timeline and evidence-based run insights. Select a finding to inspect its interval. Compare two runs at matching speeds to see where time differences emerge. Missing or unreliable intervals remain unavailable. Miles does not invent samples or diagnose braking, gear changes or wheelspin from a speed trace alone. A GARAGE FOR YOUR RESULTS Save cars and motorcycles, then browse each vehicle's runs. Selecting a vehicle is optional: assign, change or unlink it after testing without removing the result. A test-day notebook keeps setup, tyre pressure, payload and conditions together. ROUTES, ELEVATION AND WEATHER Switch between a minimal route outline and Apple Maps, including map-backed result-card export. New runs retain usable GPS altitude samples to estimate elevation gain and loss. When available, nearby weather conditions are fetched automatically and saved with the run: temperature, humidity and wind. Cached conditions reduce repeat requests; testing still works offline or when weather is unavailable. GPS elevation and area weather are estimates, not road-gradient certification, road temperature or instantaneous wind at the vehicle. Map exports can reveal the route location; review before sharing. FOUR INSTRUMENT DESIGNS Rotate your iPhone to landscape for 1966, RALLY, MIDNIGHT and JUMP / 70. Distinct faces, hands, typography and cases sit against a pure-black background. Subtle reflections respond to phone tilt. • Live speed with a separate peak-speed hand • Milestone timing with a frozen first-result hand • Rotating numeral displays in JUMP / 70 • Crown controls for reset, arming and optional direction calibration • Swipe designs while no test is armed or running • Historical instrument views and configurable instrument sharing On iPhone Duo, layouts adapt to available space and folding posture, with separate instruments and controls in the folded cockpit. Wider history views support side-by-side review. MEASUREMENT TARGETS • Metric standard: 0–100 km/h and 400 m • Metric short: 0–60 km/h and 200 m • Imperial standard: 0–60 mph and 1/4 mile • Imperial short: 0–30 mph and 1/8 mile • Peak speed, acceleration G-force trace and route recording • Car/motorcycle modes and optional 1-foot rollout • Spoken start, milestone-time, timeout, cancel and completion cues BETWEEN GPS UPDATES A target crossing often falls between location updates. Miles interpolates between samples to estimate that crossing time, reducing the timing granularity of simply using the next GPS timestamp. Interpolation does not increase the sensor's sampling rate or remove GPS, mounting or environmental errors. Results are comparative measurements, not certified instrumentation. KEEP YOUR HISTORY Save notes, export cards to Photos and use optional private iCloud backup. Existing records remain readable; missing historical telemetry, weather and altitude are not fabricated. Restore replaces local history and keeps a pre-restore snapshot. Complete garage backups require version 1.4.0 or later to restore. Traditional Chinese and English follow the system language initially, with manual selection in Settings. SAFETY FIRST Use only on closed courses or other legal, controlled grounds. Secure the phone before moving. Never operate it while driving or riding. Direction calibration is optional; GPS timing remains available without it. ANIMATED GUIDES First-launch onboarding and replayable, page-specific guides explain testing, instruments, garage, reports and sharing. Card navigation stays visible below.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Miles / 1966 at none against Morse's 3. Miles / 1966 also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Morse's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
