Packet Pad

I was ready to write a trash review until I plugged the iPad directly to the rig’s audio. Now it works after a year of non-decoding 😺

Frankly, an embarrassment to amateur radio. The worst piece of software I have ever used for any purpose.

Not working for iPhone X iOS 12 - the app does not pick up audio from mic or an external mic.

Often takes restarting the app two or three times before it even recognizes most transmissions, and then when it finally does, the error rate is close to 25%. This is pretty much the way this developer works. Just get a cheap Android, and free software for ham radio. It'll work better, and you won't be paying a premium for trashy apps.

Will not decode packets even when placed on speaker. Might be better on iPhone but so far all I get is garbage.

It does what it is supposed to do. Decodes packets. Not a problem just holding up to the speaker. It will help me with my packet work.

Shows packets even if the checksum doesn't pass. I like that. I know it's receiving. Can attach the radio to the phone and bike ride!

With today's update the scrolling problem under iOS 9.2 is fixed. The app works just as it should. Five stars!

Catches 3/4 of the packets I hear.

Do not waste your money. This packet decoder does not work. I am in engineer that has worked on the design and development of packet radio and multiple applications for iPad. This decoder is absolutely faulty and should not be on this website for sale.
