Ratings and Reviews
A will use this!
Obviously this is not the same as using a full size computer screen, but the developer has done a fine job of making best use of a small screen.
This app might be the last straw that gets me to buy the new iPhone with usb C. That is not really necessary. There are other ways to connect if you’re not in the mood for a new iPhone, but I was already thinking about upgrading.

Great New App for FT8/FT4
Thanks, Christoph, for this app! It works perfectly with my (tr)uSDX and iPad. Love the auto logging. Suggestion: add QRZ look-up option. With the QRZ look-up added, one could also access one’s own QRZ logbook and then from there upload the QSO to LOTW.
I am still trying to get the IFTX to work on transmit with my iPhone 8. It receives, looks like it is transmitting, but no output. The problem must be somewhere in my iPhone settings.
73 and keep up the good work! 73 de W B 3 B I Q.
Outstanding real FT8 operations on the iPhone
I use an Easy Digi connected to the microphone and headphone jacks on my Yaesu FT-710, and connected the 3.5mm cable to a genuine Apple Lightning to 3.5mm adapter and my iPhone 14 Pro, and using the iFTx app, I can both reliably decode and transmit JT8. If I could ask for one improvement it would be QRZ or eQSL log book integration. Still this app hits it out of the park. I love this app. It doesn't get any easier than this for iPhone portable ham radio and JT8.
