Tap on the knob in Morse Code to enter text. Then copy the text to use in other apps. Or email it. No need to look at a tiny keyboard. If you know a little Morse Code, you can now enter some text without having to look directly at your iPhone. The Morse Code WPM (words per minute speed) is adjustable over a 5 to 45 WPM range so you can tap as fast or slow as you are capable. Both straight key and iambic keying (automatic dots and dashes) modes are supported. You can adjust the knob/dots to be on the left or right. Audio feedback is provided at a configurable frequency. If the timing of your keying (Morse Code "fist") is excellent, you can have the spaces between the words inserted automatically. Otherwise, this app provides a mode where spaces are suppressed. You can instead tap on the text field to enter a space, and stroke backward on the text field to delete mistakes. On devices running iOS 8, you can also install a 3-key (for dot, dash and space between characters) Silent Dot Dash Morse Code keyboard to use within other apps. Install using the iOS Settings app, under General:Keyboard:Keyboards:Add... This iOS 8 Custom keyboard extension currently does not produce any sound or tones. The extension keyboard does not collect or store any app or keyboard input data, nor does it connect to the network.

K3iNetwork provides remote control of the Elecraft K3, K3S, KX3 or KX2 radios via a WiFi network and PC or Mac connected to the radio serial port. The user can control many functions of the K3, K3S, KX3 or KX2 radio using their iPhone. CW, RTTY and PSK31 QSOs are possible. The user can watch text from the radio VFO B window stream to their iPhone in the Terminal window, and send CW, RTTY, or PSK, as appropriate, in response. K3iNetwork has windows patterned after the Command Tester and Terminal windows of the Elecraft K3 Utility program. It provides similar functionality, and it can all be accomplished remotely using the iPhone. Once the user establishes communication with the K3, K3S, KX3 or KX2 via a WiFi network the iPhone is used to control the radio.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Morse2Text at $0.99 against K3iNetwork's $3.99. Morse2Text also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (6.1 vs 17.2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
