MADE BY A HAM
Made by Marcus, DL8MRE, who has been developing apps for Apple devices since 2009 and uses this app every day in his own shack, where all supported radios are on the desk. Personal online support and a detailed manual are included. Updates with new modes and features are free: no subscription, no in-app purchases.
WHAT YOU NEED
■ One of the radios above, connected to your network
■ An iPhone with iOS 18 or later
■ For use over the internet: access to your home network from outside (see the manual)

I have both the iPhone and iPad versions of this application. I have made FT8 contacts in both Access and WiFi modes. My suggestions to users is to read the manual. The time spent will certainly enhance your experience. The author took the time to develop a comprehensive manual that gives you all the information you need to get started and use all of the features. The price spent is well worth the efforts to give us such an excellent tool for our hobby. I would love to see more digital features in the future but I am not a programmer and have no idea how hard that is to do.
Almost perfect

I used this to make my very first contact on FT8 and using it was easy. It is feature rich and I understand not everything is possible on a phone app but there were just a few issues I had. I used this to listen as I tested some vhf antennas from a few miles away and the audio was… odd. It sounded muffled and garbled but I was able to see the waterfall so it still did the job. My second issue was that twice during ft8 usage, the app crashed and left the 705 stuck in transmit. If I was away from the rig, it would have continued until something went pop. Lastly is just a little request. If this was capable of JS8call, I would gladly pay an extra fee. The ability to do keyboard to keyboard on hf from my phone? Revolutionary.
Great for remote operation
Anthony-N1IG
Right from the start the iPhone version worked perfectly. It was so intuitive and easy to use, that it took almost no time to get setup and working. To my surprise the reports on ft8 were so much better using this program than others, with no changes made to any of my equipment. I used this for remote operation from Aruba, using both WiFi and 4G cell service. Worked perfectly with no issues or disconnects at all. I had been hesitant after having remote connection issues with other programs. But this worked 100%.
Complete and Intuitive

I’ve been a ham for many years but recently back to the hobby. I picked up an IC-705 for portable operation and this app. Wow. Extremely well done interface, very complete control, great set of tools, FT8/4 support. Yeah, it’s expensive but this was clearly a lot of work. I’m still digging into the capabilities and features of this app, and the manual for it is also extremely well written and helpful. It’s very cool to sit on the couch and have full access to the radio. If you have a supported radio, this is absolutely worthwhile.
This update contains the following changes and improvements:
◉ SSTV: Robot 36 pictures (the mode the ISS sends) came out green and only showed their left half; fixed, together with other modes that were slanted or shifted sideways
◉ SSTV: pictures start in the right place by themselves, and the start of a picture is recognised with weaker signals and when the receiver is tuned up to 100 Hz off
◉ SSTV: every mode can now be sent, including Robot 36, Robot 72, Robot 24 and PD-50 to PD-290
◉ SSTV: the sender's call sign (FSK ID) is shown again
◉ Antenna Genius: the antenna buttons work again with firmware 4.1.9; a tap selects the receive antenna, while transmitting the transmit antenna
◉ Power Genius XL: changing the remote access code works; Rotator Genius: rotator names are saved correctly
◉ PSK Reporter: changing the time, band or mode in the filter now loads the list again
◉ Network Stats: a Saved Radios section shows whether each of your saved radios answers, also while not connected
◉ Radio list: a dot before each radio shows whether it answers, and its address is shown below the name
◉ iPhone Duo: the large radio screen on the open Duo now reaches under the tab bar at the right; Center, the level slider and the zoom buttons are at the left
◉ iPhone Duo: after folding or unfolding, the radio screen shows the radio's values at once (it showed placeholders until the next change)
◉ iPhone Duo: on the open Duo in portrait, View and Disconnect now work from the (…) button
◉ iPhone Duo: the modes and tools fill the whole width, and their settings open at their full width
◉ Implemented several additional improvements and optimizations behind the scenes
