Learn Morse code by ear — not by counting dots and dashes. Goose Morse is a focused trainer for amateur radio operators, preppers, aviation buffs, and anyone who wants to actually hear Morse, not stare at it on paper. It is built around the Koch method: you start at full character speed with six free letters, then unlock new characters as your accuracy holds. WHY KOCH The Koch method is the most efficient way to learn Morse code. From day one you listen at real-world speed — no slow ramp-up, no mnemonics, no charts. New characters are added only when you can copy them confidently, which builds deep letter-by-sound recognition. WHAT YOU GET (FREE) • Lessons 1–5 of the Koch-method course (K, M, R, S, U, A) — train your ear from day one at full character speed • Group dictation practice with upfront playback and typed copy (additional content unlocks with GooseMorse Pro) • Lesson phase for the starter lessons — guided recognition, then mixed drill, free for lessons 1–5 • Farnsworth spacing — slower effective speed without losing real timing • 5 visual effects — pulse wave, waveform, constellation, decode ring, and flashing lamp • Adjustable tone (Hz), character speed, effective speed, group size, and volume • 3 keyboard layouts: alphabet, QWERTY, Koch order • Bilingual: English and Simplified Chinese • Dark and light themes GOOSEMORSE PRO (Subscription or one-time purchase required to access) GooseMorse Pro unlocks the remaining 20 Koch-method lessons (lessons 6–25), the Flip Challenge game, and Pro practice access — each of which requires a separate subscription or one-time lifetime purchase. The Pro content is not included in the free app download. More courses and practice content will be added in future updates. Choose a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew through your App Store account and can be cancelled anytime. Restore Purchases brings Pro back on any device you own. See the in-app paywall for current prices and our Terms of Use (https://pages.goosemorse.com/terms-apple) and Privacy Policy (https://pages.goosemorse.com/privacy-apple) for full details. DESIGNED FOR FOCUSED PRACTICE The UI is built like an operator's bench: dark by default, no clutter, keys at 48×48 px or larger, instant green/red feedback. The screen stays awake during training so you can stay in the zone. PRIVACY No login, no account, no ads, no analytics

Morse Coach teaches you to recognize Morse code by hearing it at realistic speed—not by looking at a dot-and-dash chart. Begin with two introductory lessons covering K, M, R, and S. Hear each character, identify it immediately, then add send practice gradually by tapping back the rhythm with dots and dashes. Character speed and audio tone are adjustable from the second lesson. Continuing beyond the introduction with the remaining A–Z and 0–9 course, adaptive review, and full progress history requires an auto-renewable in-app subscription. Full-course training introduces characters in small signal groups rather than alphabetical order. After each session, Morse Coach shows which characters need another listen and guides the next practice automatically. There are no points or rankings; a simple day streak supports a consistent practice habit. Requires iOS 17 or later. No account needed; practice works offline after access is verified.
