4 ★ Simple to use WSPR transmitter. Appears to rely on system font size being default in order to render properly but otherwise works well.
5 ★ It is a great bit of software works great with my FT817.
5 ★ Used today for first time got great results, so easy to set up and use.
5 ★ Perfect App. I use it for wspr beacon with VOX along with HF Transceiver.
1 ★ Download app a few days ago but couldn't get registered email not replying. So can't use.
5 ★ simple interface that's easy to use for a noob like me.
5 ★ Works great for what it is. Would be cool to have receive capability too.
5 ★ Love it, can't recommend it enough. So easy to use.
5 ★ Did not work with call signs that start with S5... Waiting for update
5 ★ Yet have good experince.
5 ★ works for me!!
4 ★ Been using the application for some time. Really great for checking Band Openings, switching between Antennas, and checking Station Performance. Only issue is that I have to manually Start and Stop transmission. Even if the program is "Stopped", it keys my transmitter. In addition, recently the WOLPHI INTERFACE causes my Transceiver to either Mute, or go into Transmit when plugged in. Rig is Ten-Tec Model 535 Argonaut II (QRP). Otherwise, nice App.
4 ★ This is the best - and of this writing, only - WSPR beacon in the app store. Full marks for functionality on TX. Upon pressing START my callsign shifts 1 to 2 chars over, but easily identified and fixed manually by the user. The *only* reason this app did not get 5 stars is because it is transmit-only. If the dev releases a fully-functional WSPR app in update (both transmit and receive) this will generate 5 stars for me. de N0LSD
4 ★ Nice app... Map feature seems to gag up once in a while, but it's nice to set up my wspr beacon and an hour or so later, I can see what bands are going and where my signal is making it... Also good for comparing antennas... It was after deploying this that I realized my 150 foot longwire was kicking ass on 75 mtr
4 ★ A great tool that works well. My only gripe is it will transmit again after you have pressed stop. Its only a minor fault but it unexpectedly transmitted when I was swapping antennas, that wasn't nice. Other than that WOW great app.
