Useless
I bought the icon ID 52 plus completely unusable to program and now I’m out like 800 bucks wish I would’ve went with another brand. The only thing I can get the radio to do is whether an FM radio.
Don’t bother- doesn’t work
Clearly they no longer support this app. Bluetooth implementation no longer works. Android app works. Try that.
Works fine
The app works great for me. Connected to my 705 even from another room.
IS-52 and iPhone 13 won't connect
The app is worthless. Cannot connect to iPhone 13 Pro Max. Tried two phones. Pairs and connects, then drops the connection. Too bad. Gave up.
ID-52
Connects and immediately disconnects from iPhone 14 with most current iOS. such a frustrating waste of time. The app looks useful, but cannot get it to connect to the radio for more than two seconds.
Doesn’t work
I was really looking forward to this having just got the ID-52a and I thought, for sure being that Icom has such a large presence here in the US for amateur radio that they would surely have an iOS app that would work well with their flagship HT being that the vast majority of people in the US use iPhones. Unfortunately, the app is completely unusable because the very first step of connecting through Bluetooth doesn’t work. It’s able to find the radio but it’s not able to connect the radio and phone. I have, of course, tried every possible solution and nothing works. A real disappointment, considering the manufacturers name.
IC-705
This app gets some bad reviews. It works for me and has some interesting features. It works with my IC-705. It allows me to send and receive pictures along with view stations and repeaters on the map. I tried the text feature but it did not work. The issue may be because the radio I was attempting to message using the text feature was an IC-9700. Hopefully ICOM will continue to develop and improve this app.
Bluetooth connectivity
I have downloaded the app and tried to pair my iPhone 12 to my Icom ID-52. The phone will find the radio but when you tap connect the radio will not pair with the phone. I’ve tried resetting my phone and radio both. This review will be updated after the problem is corrected!!
Poor repeater list
The repeater list should be more extensive and include FM repeaters.
