AntScope for iOS is a software designed to connect the RigExpert antenna analyzers with BLE option to Apple smartphones.
This software allows to get information about your antenna system and visualize that information:
- SWR chart (standing wave ratio)
- Smith chart
- All parameters mode
Unable to access any saved data scans from memory channels.
I’m using the AA-650 Zoom analyzer with this AS App.
The Good News: The Android (Bluetooth) and windows (USB cable) versions work fine. And with this app you can do a live scans.
The Bad News: This app cannot access the memory channels to display any data previously scanned with the analyzer on my 4th Gen. Air Touch IPAD. There is no options in the app’s menu to access them.

Looking for a new, working, updated, version of this AS app.
it was fine while it worked
From the beginning I had difficulties connecting the mi stick 230 to my phone and PC, now it is completely impossible, I removed the battery and factory reset the analyzer and nothing, The analyzer also blocked when trying to use it in the sun, I had to remove the battery to restart it
Does not work with AA-3000 ZOOM
Despite the previous version of AntScope for iOS stating that the AA-3000 ZOOM was added, my analyzer is not recognized by the app. It simply never connects. Not getting any help from RigExpert either.
Constantly disconnects. Worthless.
On the very rare occasions it works it's actually pretty ok, but it constantly disconnects from my RigExpert Stick Pro. I've tried different USB cables, rebooting my computer, updating the software. Nothing helps. This app is so bad. The iOS version is almost as bad too. Constant connection issues. You'd think a company who makes such great analyzers would have good software to go with it, but this is not the case. Worst. Companion. Software. Ever.
Worked great until…
..as reported in the other review…the iPhone app just stopped finding my Stick Pro. Stills works on my iPad at the moment. RigExpert needs to fix this…I wouldn’t recommend the stick products without being able to use the app
Worked great for about a week
I was loving this app and the fact I could look at extended graphs on my iPhone while using my Stick Pro in the field. Today all of a sudden the phone wouldn’t recognize the device anymore. After several resets of the analyzer as well as my iPhone it still doesn’t see it when trying to connect. Checked it with my iPad and works fine. All my other Bluetooth devices also work fine with my iPhone, so it’s not the phone itself. Somehow the iPhone app just doesn’t want to see the analyzer, so now it’s basically useless. Rigexpert please fix this app so it works.
Found connecting secret
Iphone and IPad connect initially but disconnect after 30 seconds Used with Stick 230. But if you have unit connected to antenna, IMMEDIATELY start a SWR scan. Then the Stick 230 keeps the connection. Other parameters can be accessed and function. Works on both iPhone and iPad. 73 KF6LU
Update fixed disconnect
Latest update fixed Bluetooth disconnect for stick pro!
Will not connect to Rigexpert 230
App will not connect to RigExpert230. Same results using app on iPad and iPhone. All firmware is up to date. Funny thing it work once then lost connection. Was using iPhone then switched to iPad, worked first time then stopped. Reinstalled app on both devices still no joy. App is completely useless to me.
Buggy
The user should be able to input a value for center frequency and span without using the sliders
The sliders are not very granular
Direct keypad entry into the settings boxes does not work
This should be simple
