About

Morse by Feel

Features
Read full description

Feel Morse code as taps on your wrist. Morse by Feel teaches the alphabet and numbers through haptic taps you feel rather than sounds you hear, so you can pick it up anywhere, even with the watch tucked under a sleeve. Lessons are presented in the Koch order, introducing one new character at a time and mixing it into practice until it becomes familiar. A tap keyer lets you send your own dots and dashes for practice, a reference chart shows every character at a glance, and a complication keeps your progress visible right on your watch face. Lessons play while the Morse by Feel app is open and the watch is awake. Nothing leaves the watch: there is no account, no sign-in, and no network connection of any kind.

Verdict

The call
