Reviews for FT8 Radio

Works amazingly well!

Much needed platform! Glad you’ve ported this over. Keep up the good work!

I wouldn’t buy this app 10 was high enough and I try sending ft8 and it works sometimes other times it doesn’t work pos

Work excellent! I connected ft818 to digirig and CATs61 mobile phone. Need some improvements but app does what it is supposed to do!

Simple, elegant, and powerful. This is the app that all modern digital/portable hams have been waiting for! Works flawlessly with my new Samsung Galaxy S22! Will he using this with my 817 and my QDX. John KB2HSH

Thank you for your support for the G90. Looking forward to using this and being able to “shed” the laptop for some lighter mobile trials.

nice little soft, wold like some auto tx, some macros and very important some spectrum like the ft8dx app, good for sota and pota, but it needs to be more user frendly.

Super excited about this! Any chance of support for digirig ptt? It’s an audio/serial interface that can implement ptt with an RTS signal with audio only cable with several major radio brands

Decode seams to work. Reporting on PSKReporter does no acknowledge any receive activity. Not sure how To edit TX window or create own presets. My callsign with visiting prefix added, truncated last 2 digits of gride square. Good start, hope to see some further refinements.

Will not output enough audio to drive my radio. I know this is more likely a system issue but it would be nice if these apps had a way to override that.

Hi! Great app! Love it, I just have one request, hence not 5 stars. When people call callsign/QRP, the app pick it up as such but when you click on it, it just picks up QRP, not callsign/QRP. Thanks!

Works ok. Where does the app store my settings though as they persist if I delete the app and re-install it? They should be wiped when the app is uninstalled. I’m on a pixel 6 with whatever the latest Android version is

All in all I really like this app. I’ve tested it recently on a four day SOTA/POTA hike & had fun with it during portable operations. I’m giving only 4 stars, as it doesn’t know how to handle suffixes at all (i.e. SP0XXX/P) :(. If this gets fixed, it will be a solid 5.

I used this app recently with my uBitX during a 6 day canoe trip. I managed to make a few contacts and successful activate a POTA station. The interface isn’t great but once you figure it all out it’s not so bad to used in the field. I’ll keep using this app when portable, it […]

Not sure where I can submit bug details. Everything is working on the system, I was able to make contacts on 10m. I wanted to play with the 2m & 70cm band, and when I tune to both those bands it tunes the radio to 44.460 instead of 144.460 and will tune to 30.510 instead […]

It works well from a technical perspective, but the overwhelming majority of FT8 contacts follow a different QSO format than what is hardcoded into the app, which cannot be modified, so can’t really use it.

Excellent first step! Tested Xiegu x6100 on vox & IC705 with cat control. Both work well! App runs after close. Needs a real “forced stop” shut down or Android continues to complain about the app using sensors in the background. Please add an “Exit” which stops the app. Please add a “Dark Mode” white text […]

Very basic, somewhat buggy, but not too bad. I have made a few contacts with this. It is better than nothing, but could use improvements to be sure. Would be nice if it would keep calling. Cq instead of requiring me to hit it each time and pay attention to which side I was on […]

Won’t Transmit. I used the same setup and wiring that I use for WSJT-X on my laptop. The vendor said to turn the volume down on the phone. I also made sure that the phone volume doesn’t turn up inside the app settings. It still doesn’t transmit properly but it does receive. ALC is 100. […]

This app has been a lot of fun to use. I was looking to put together a small rig to do Parks on the Air Activations. I made my own cables and with a little trial and error, I have been able to make a lot of contacts. So, I’m very impressed with the app […]
