Compose, flash, decode, and explore Morse code with Morse iCoder. Morse iCoder is a focused Morse code toolkit for sending signals, decoding Morse, looking up characters, and practicing real-time Morse keying. COMPOSE AND FLASH MORSE Enter a message and Morse iCoder automatically converts it into dots and dashes. Preview the encoded signal before sending it, then use your iPhone flashlight to transmit the message as Morse code. Adjust the signal timing to control transmission speed. QUICK PHRASES Load common messages with a tap, including SOS and other useful phrases, then preview or flash them immediately. DECODE MORSE Decode Morse manually by entering dots, dashes, letter gaps, and word gaps. Morse iCoder builds the raw Morse sequence as you enter it and displays the decoded text as you work. CAMERA DECODING Use the camera to detect flashing Morse signals and attempt live decoding. Because real-world lighting, distance, signal brightness, and camera conditions can vary significantly, camera decoding includes controls that let you adjust detection for your environment. LIVE MORSE KEY Turn your iPhone into a live Morse key. Tap briefly for a dot or press and hold for a dash. Morse iCoder measures your timing, identifies character and word gaps, and decodes your keyed Morse as you send it. Live Key timing uses your selected Morse transmission speed so sending and playback remain consistent. MORSE REFERENCE Need to look something up? The built-in Morse Reference provides a quick guide to: • Letters A–Z • Numbers 0–9 • Common punctuation • Supported prosigns • Dot and dash timing • Letter spacing • Word spacing Tap a character in the reference to load it directly into the composer. SIGNAL PREVIEW See the dots and dashes for your message before transmitting it so you always know what Morse iCoder is going to send. ADJUSTABLE TIMING Control Morse timing to make signals faster or slower based on your needs. Whether you're learning the Morse alphabet, experimenting with signaling, decoding a message, or simply curious about Morse code, Morse iCoder puts the essential tools in one straightforward app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pacific Block at 4.4 against Morse iCoder's 4.0. Pacific Block also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). Morse iCoder's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Morse iCoder costs $0.99 and Pacific Block $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pacific Block holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pacific Block has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Morse iCoder's written reviews are positive against 73% of Pacific Block's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Morse iCoder ships an update every 2 weeks, Pacific Block every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
