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.

RS-MS1I Reviews
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.
Works great!
This app does a great job operating Dstar on my IC705. The interface is simple to use and has a great set of features. I would like the ability to import repeater lists via the Files in iOS or from One Drive, Drop Box, etc. The instructions say to sync the files with iTunes but I’m not sure how that will help. Exporting the downloaded repeater list creates a CSV file but I cannot find it in the iOS file system. The CSV is only within the app. The android version (RS MS1A) does exactly as I am describing above and works well.
ID-5100
Please add support for the ID-5100 with the BT module!
App won’t connect
App sees the ID52 but won’t connect, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16.1. Bluetooth enabled, using app to discover and connect, only it won’t connect, ever. Need update please!
Zip zero nada
I have a new ID-52A, updated Apple phone and tablet, everything running the most current software. Doesn’t work. Can’t get it to connect on either device. Time to give up… tooooooo bad. The concept is fantastic. The execution, not so much. Time to delete another App that doesn’t do what it is supposed to do.
Garbage
This software doesn’t work. I followed their directions on transceiver settings and no go. Complete garbage.
