Does not work at all.. I wrote a better decoder on a TRS80 when is was 13 years old. This APP borders on fraud.

No good. Do not waste your money W4fyt

Does a good job. This app does a good job when used with a receiver incorporating a narrow band CW filter. Best results are obtained when using a low receiver volume so that any background noise coming from the receiver is not interpreted as a signal. Also, the RF signal needs to be tuned so that the audio output of the CW signal falls on the red line in the frequency spectrum monitor window. I used with my FT-817ND with 300 Hz CW filter installed and my iPad to reliably copy code sent at speeds between 5 WPM and 25 WPM. Have not tried higher speeds. At lower speeds (<10 WPM) the app interprets each morse character as a separate word, so you have to decide where the word breaks are. Above about 10 WPM, word breaks are correct. There is a slight delay between the morse being heard and it appearing on the iPad (less than 1 second). Unfortunately, the app does not fix sloppy code sent by an operator. by AE5UV

Decent for a tough job. I've tried several iOS Morse code decoders, and it's obviously a job that is very difficult to do well, even by machine. Given a good clear signal without background noise, some extra time to notice & set the center frequency & approx words per minute, Morse Pad does pretty well. I did notice that all the morse decoders seem work work better on iPad 3 than iPhone 4S. But neither is anywhere near to perfect as I hoped they would be. You still have to read through the garble & guess at what is being said. It is like that with all the Morse Code decoders I have tried. Lack of background noise really helps a lot.

Useless. This app doesn't work!!! Don't buy it!!!! Waste of money!!!!

Morse Pad. Well worth the few dollars. I used this during the ARRL CW dx contest to help me pick out calls. Most of the ops have their computers sending at 32 to 35 wpm. The ap worked pretty well. Noise and nearby calls will cause erroneous characters, but that's the nature of noisy HF bands. This ap worked as well as a $300 Kantronics all mode I used to use. Watch the sound level, center the signal, and it'll do pretty well. A good signal in the clear gets decoded perfectly. Mike N9IVO

Simply Horrible. Don't buy!

Simple and works- worth the cost. Like the previous reviewer I was looking for a Morse decoder that could decode audio for a Battlefield 1 Easter egg. This worked beautifully. I didn't even have to adjust anything or toggle on the auto- features; it decoded the Morse very well. Once I found that the RECORD feature saves a transcription of the decoding, this app became even easier to use. I'd let it run through 3 or 4 repetitions of the pattern and be able to eliminate errors easily. Highly recommend it. Every once in a while (say 1/50) it would get a letter wrong but I blame that on the audio file also containing a lot of background noise like thunder, bird chirps or artillery. I tried $0.99 Morse-it and it returned gibberish. And the $9.99 HotPaw seemed excellent but a little pricey given I just wanted it to unlock a puzzle in a video game. So good job dev! Your app delivers its intended function very well and easily and the price point made it worth the gamble.

Not useful. It works, but lags so far behind it is practically useless. More than fair price so I'm not too worried about it.

Don’t waste your time or money. Does not decode reliably at all!!! Ran this in parallel as other (free) decoders and would not decode when the otherwise would. Settings are very straight forward and simple so it is definitely not user error! Hoping that a new release will help but since it has not had a rev in 3 years it is doubtful!

No exit provided.. You can’t exit the program without shutting off your phone.

Great app!!. Fine decoder!!

Wish I could get a refund.. This app is absolutely useless!

Worth it for Battlefield Easter eggs. I bought this hoping to help with decoding messages in BF1 and discovered it works flawlessly. I found the best way is to go to Ballroom Blitz, set the Hz to 781 and the WPM to 13 and the results are spot on every time. Strongly recommend.

KA4Z Great App. I love this app it really copies CW very well which is hard to do with QRN and QSB and depending on the "fist" of the sender which all CW copying software has issues with. Of course it coppies machine sent code perfect after locking the speed. After tweaking a while you learn to set the volume and tones for your set up, meaning speaker and Rig tonal qualities. I guess the CW filter in the rig helps and the APP has a built in DSP. You can lay your phone next to the speaker and it works but I plug in my OEM factory buds into the iPhone and set the microphone of the buds inside a pair of standard headphones and squeeze the cups together, It helps keep the ambient noise in the shack out and only the receiver audio in. Works great. I thought about building a little box to put a speaker in and put an old set of iPhone buds in it. Jameco sells 4 conductor male jacks that could be used to build your own mike and speaker setup but a pair of buds would actually be just as cheap unless you have a good junk box!

Morse Pad. Not a bad app. Seems to decode well as long as the op sends decently. There is a bit of lag time, but at 3 bucks it's worth it. I would like to see the decoded text font size to be adjustable as it is kinda small, though.

Interesting. First time I have used my IPad for something like this. No problem getting the audio tone locked on. Seems to be a little confused when trying to decode manually sent code. The timing isn't always perfect. I appreciate the addition of an audio spectrum analyzer. Dave....

1-char buffer delay. I use this app to check on how well I’m sending. If I Send at 20 chars/sec. and my words per second are say 15 there a space between each character. It would be nice if there were two adjustments: chars/sec and words/sec. Also: If I send hello the app displays hell. I need to send an additional char to flush out the receive buffer and then the “o” will display. Add a clear screen display on the front otherwise you need to flip to the backside to clear.

Just bought and wish I could get a refund. 3 bucks is 3 bucks. Doesn't even work reliably when I help it by sending with keyer let alone copying from the radio. My guess is they make it so cheap to buy that they get away with it not working.

Well, it works, but ...... At $2.99 it's a little pricey for what you get. I was hoping for an app that would approximate the performance of the little MFJ cheater, but the response time of this app is kinda like mine was when I was first learning to copy code. It has to "think" for a while. The app runs several letters behind what it's hearing, and it's a little difficult to get on the right freq because the display is showing Es and Ts until the app figures out what speed it's hearing. My intended use for a decoder is to capture code that is ripping along at speeds faster than I can copy. If this was $.99 or free it would be good. At the $2.99 level it ought to work better.

Great app. The best decoder available.

Slow. It works,but it's terribly slow, lagging several letters behind. Given the speed of the processor in the iPad it should be much faster. Trying learned the screen while listening to the audio can be either confusing or annoying. But for under 3 bucks, it's acceptable.

Adjustment needed. My complaint with this is the horizontal forced layout and how difficult it is to close the program. IphoneX , 12/2018 review date.

does not work at all. I know code. Got this app to help my daughter learn with her practice oscillator and it decodes nothing... just garbage no matter what speed i send at. also tried various pitches. waste of $3

Please add support for Apple Watch. Please add support for Apple Watch.

Great practice app. More responsive than others I've seen and very handy to practice and watch that proper groups and spaces are formed. Great job! 73, John/N6VTS

Great app but it needs a little work.. I found this app while searching for a morse code reader. I used this app to read morse code from a battlefield 1 video game challenge. Where you need to decipher multiple codes to obtain a secret game item. It worked pretty well on the first try. Not perfect but it worked after using the app to gage the frequency then adjusting the HZ and wpm to get a readable message. It's not perfect because if seemed to read some parts extremely well but other parts where a bit mixed up but legible. There needs to be a pause option when listening so the text can be copy and pasted elsewhere. This is impossible ATM due to the app continually reading the sound. I didn't try to use the record feature yet though. I know that was the intention for being able to save your readings. It would also be great if there was a mic volume adjustment to help filter external noise. I noticed a ton of feed back when the no sound was really present. The mic is overly sensitive. It would also be nice if there was a way to just slide the red line with a slider to target the area you would like instead of needing to make the change numerically. Overall it works pretty well for my use. I'll see how the other 8 morse code tasks work out and update my review in the near future. I've been trying to find something for my use for the past two days. This app worked perfectly on the first shot. It does however need some minor adjustments to make it a tad more user friendly. Great app. I'm hoping for an update with added features I mentioned. This game series I used the app for has had these morse code tests in the past few games. This app will definitely be helpful to me if they continue these secret morse code missions.

Morse. It is nice to have to translate code on air that is fast so I can know what they are sending It has a drawback it doesn't always get it correct while it is readable it sometimes misses characters.

Near perfect at what it sets out to do. I take part in a weekly net which runs at around 18wpm with a mix of weak and strong stations. Morse pad does a fine job of decoding the signals, and usually does better than I do. It works in a similar way to the PC based decoder software I've tried before, in that you have to tell it where the signal is you want decoded, and it takes few words for it to determine the speed, then it starts to produce sensible results. It is far better at extracting a signal than anything else I have tried. I take one rating star off for not being able to save or copy the received text to anywhere, however, it is near perfect at what it sets out to do, which is to turn morse audio into text on the screen.

Morse Pad. I have found this to be useless at 10-20 wpm but works well at higher speeds. Perhaps I’m not using correctly.
