I loved the prior version. learned my code quickly and easily. App upgraded itself, features no longer work, and even worse is that I can't copy the morse it generates. Boo Hiss. Time to find a new app. sometimes you just need to learn when to leave good enough alone. Update: I found what changed. The old version showed the character first, then the tone; the new version presents the tone, then the character. I reset the Koch level to the start, and advanced rapidly through the sequence with about 2 minutes at each level. After a few levels, I was able to advance two or three levels at a time. My speed is back as is my comprehension. Still a couple of small issues that I've communicated to the developer; but nothing major. Upgrading from 2 stars to 4.

I tried a lot of morse code apps. The best feature about this one is you can set it to speak the letters to you after playing the code. You don't have to watch the screen to see if you are correct. It is hands free. This has helped me hear the sound of the letter and not the individual dits and dahs. Options for speed, character spacing and word spacing. Letters, callsigns, qso's and custom text.

Very well designed app. It's easy to use and is customizable to suit different learning styles. Through regular practice sessions with this app I'm now proficient in sending and copying Morse code, something I've wanted to accomplish for thirty years. I first downloaded it a couple of years ago and only use it while I'm on long drives to destinations where I don't need to use GPS nav (I've designed my use of the app so that is never unsafe while driving).
