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                     Simple and works worth the cost theworldbeyondzion

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                 Great app but it needs a little work ooAntixoo

This app doesn t work Don t buy it Waste of money     Useless Jte3470

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                     KA4Z Great App Zzprop

The best decoder available                     Great app WA4AMG

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                 Morse N5UXI

Fine decoder                     Great app Wf8o

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 practice app Zoombucket

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             Decent for a tough job Mac Medix

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                 Interesting WA0ZZG

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     Just bought and wish I could get a refund Montecristo1966

Don t buy     Simply Horrible LOJAC™

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                 Morse Pad N9IVO

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

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                 Morse Pad UkeleleBob

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             Slow schmooey2000

Do not waste your money W4fyt     No good 7Gianni

It works but lags so far behind it is practically useless More than fair price so I m not too worried about it         Not useful Wu2u

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                     Does a good job Raptor3455

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             Well it works but K1CGZ
