most people recognize morse code. almost nobody knows it. that's the point: a small, secret superpower, mostly for fun, occasionally a lifeline. you don't learn a language one letter at a time. you learn words. so that's what we teach: the ones you'd actually send, in context, until they stick. the difference between reciting an alphabet and holding a conversation. 293 words across ten packs, from the essentials to the unprintable: basic convo · flirting · emotions · food & drink · naughty · call signs · coordinates · weather · survival kit · medical start free with the basics. hear it, read it, tap it out. no streaks, no shame. take it as far as you want. there's an arcade too where classic games are reimagined with a twist. and twelve skins to make your signal yours. no subscriptions, no ads. join the frequency. .. -.-- -.- -.-- -.-

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: hey ditty at 5.0 against PPSSPP's 4.5. hey ditty also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PPSSPP's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 4) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

hey ditty holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PPSSPP has 2.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of PPSSPP's written reviews are positive against 100% of hey ditty's.
PPSSPP ships an update every 4 weeks, hey ditty every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
