Hello, I really like this software for iPad for the Flex Radios. Two things. I purchased this for my iPhone, but it doesn’t work on my iPhone, says I need to purchase it, but it works on my iPad. Go figure. Second, on my iPad, I got my Bose NC headset adjusted to work perfectly with my iPad and this software.. Then this morning I got on the air with my iPad and I was getting very bad audio reports. They say it sounded boxy and they couldn’t understand what I was saying. I thought maybe it’s the Bose Headset, but when I did this on my Android, the audio reports were perfect. Maybe it was the latest software with the Bluetooth?
Here is extra info. This is an iPad Air 2 with version 15.8.1
I tried using only the microphone with the iPad only ( not the Bluetooth Bose) and I got the same distortion, so it’s not the headset. I would like feedback, advise to fix this issue.

Great Software for FlexRadio on IOS
I find this IOS software for FlexRadio on iPad and iPhone Pro MAX that I have is easier to configure and use for FT8 and SSB then on my Windows 11 Computer. I use it every day. I have made 114 confirmed DXCC/LoTW countries on FT8/FT4 since September 2022, and it is now Jan 30, 2023. This software is will worth the money spent to enable the features I use, including general radio access, the logging and,FT8 features. The developer has quickly answered questions to help with any problems I have in using the software.
Double Payment
I am writing this to complain about a double payment required. I bought the app for my iPhone and then wanted to use it on my granddaughter’s iPad. I had bought her the iPad for Christmas last year and she has graciously loaned it to me to work remotely when we go to the lake. I have found that 82 year old eyes do better with a larger display. She has her own Apple ID and because it is different from mine, I can only use it if I pay another $65. Other than having to pay for it twice, I think it is a great app and I will gladly rate it five stars if I can use it without having to pay for it again. It is advertised to only have to pay once!
Remote Operating At It’s Best
I bought a Flex 6400M with idea of operating it remote when we were out RVing. The radio is great and the pc software works great too. But I have a tether speed limit of 5 Mbps and was concerned that would not handle the radio data very well. The iPhone version works so well that I use a HDMI cable to the 50” tv and I am enjoying the hobby on the road without putting up additional antennas. The software works great! The sound quality through my V1 airpods is superb too. I’m super happy with the software and highly recommend it. 73s KJ5WO
Awesome app and top notch support
Ive had the app since it first was released. Used on a 6500 and 2 6400’s thus far. This latest release is outstanding. The FT8 functionality is excellent. I used to use splashtop and remote into my pc in the shack to do FT8. Now, i can do it all right from the app on my ipad and iphone 13 Max. Logging works great and can be uploaded to QRZ and LOTW. About the only thing this app cant do is the functionality of JTAlert. But give it time. Markus is a talented developer. His support is top notch. He answers emails very quickly and turns out patches and upgrades quite often.
You wont regret buying the app. Get the logbook and FT8 tools also. Money well spent. Im a 100% remote operator. Never go in the shack anymore. 73 de WV9L
Fantastic App
The only native app for Flex. It works perfectly and it looks just like the Mac version of the app. The support is fantastic with regular updates and you can’t go wrong. Highly recommend it.
Add some features?
Love the app and I have been using it for almost a full year. I am still finding features I did realize where there. Is there any hope for the possibility to record and play back audio on the frequency like we can do in the widows version or from the Maestro? I know we can have canned macros for contesting but I am looking at live so audio. Also, can a SSTV app be added as a tool? Steve, N8XSF
This App Is Awesome!
Marcus has done a great job with this app that I have been using for quite some time now. It’s very handy and fun to be able to operate with my iPad from my easy chair in the Family Room. Great job Marcus!
It used to work great
It worked great until the last update. How do we contact you to resolve issues?
When selecting “Contact Developer” it brings you to Flex’s web page, not yours.
App says it’s free, but then you have to pay to use it.
The app can be downloaded for free, but then requires a $60 in-app purchase to use even its core functionality.
The price isn’t the issue, it’s reasonable for what the app does, the approach just comes off as scammy as I’ve now downloaded an app that essentially does nothing without at least one additional purchase.
Just list the price in the store.
I’m frankly surprised Apple allowed this.
