Crashes on Samsung note 2 need repairs. Sounded to good to be true. O well sail on to something better. Would like my ten spot back. But I don't see that happening.

Man, talk about Plug and Play... this app worked like a champ literally out of the box. I installed it, hooked it up to my ham radio rig, and the rest was automatic. I'm normally leery of these apps because there are so many variables that have to be met; but not with this one. Set in the correct upper side band frequency ( I am using 9108.1 kHz Boston station on USB for my Florida home) put the cell phone next to the speaker, put the app on auto and you're styling.

First try... simply great! Start column feature... nice. Easy interface with essentials. I've used the old PC-demodulator-serial port - Xaxero system long enough. Thanks.

Purchased, downloaded, used the test fax on the website. Works great, but missing the settings and home icons as well as cant see the top menu that has the timer on it. Called and emailed Wolphi to get this corrected. Corrected by pressing and holding the back button on the tablet. Menu appeared and working perfectly now. Thank you for the tech support.

Would request a refund but had to wait overnight to test on a local signal... best results are terrible. Sorry guys

Finally did get the app to sync and decode a couple fax files, but having to listen to the hf radio squeal while this works will drive one batty. The quality was so bad that the numbers on the image were unreadable. I went to a hardwired method from the line level out of my SSB into the mic input of a PC and used SeaTTY to decode. Much more usable and no squealing.

L70%
by L####:

However the interface for looking at stored images is really klunky and has to be done while decoding. Having to press back and then scroll all the way to the bottom over and over gets old fast. Wish I could just swipe through the images and also wish they were stored in such a way that Google photos automatically found them in the folder which would allow me to then swipe amongst them quickly yet still in a nice order. I also would prefer photo's ability to separate dates and what not more easily.

Works straight out of the box on Sony Xperia, no slant adjustment needed. Way easier to set up than my pc was many years ago.

Works real good just sitting next to my Tecsun PL-660 just using the whip! Now, I wish you would make some more apps for: OLIVIA, AMTOR, and Hellschreiber, and ALE!

Works very well, even with weak signal, simple. Could use a colour inverse option for radios w/o USB/LSB switch. I had a little troubles with the menu, but tech support is excellent! !!

Worked well first time. Note to software writer...is it possible to have slant correction done with finger offset...meaning...its easier to line the cross up with a line if our finger is not in the way. Great app

I have this app on two devices: Moto X (2014) phone and Nexus & (2013). The speakers on the phone worked very well, and I'm getting almost perfect resolution of the faxes, much better than the nexus and the PC programs which use line-in to the PC sound card. Anyway, I transfer the results to my laptop for the bigger screen.

Works great but headphones needed. Would be even better if you could plug in to mic input

Works very well. One of the best weatherfax programs I have used to date. So quick and simple to use, just set to auto mode and place your phone/tablet next to the shortwave receivers speaker. The programs audio input is very sensitive, so you don't need to have the speakers output set too high. As already suggested, by using headphones or a small extension speaker and placing the phone/tablet's mic next to this, you can minimise any Radio Frequency Interference that the phone/tablet might cause. Even works well when monitoring one of the many internet based short wave radio receiving stations that have appeared recently.

Works really well, even on weak signals. Only issue I had was making sure the tablet was in the correct position on top of the receiver, but once I sorted that, then had no problems. Would recommend to anyone. Amazing quality especially as it doesn't need any connecting cables. Oh yes and I am running it on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 without any problems.

This works well but would be better if you could connect directly from the line out of my Sony icf 7600gr to the smartphone. I've tried using the headphones output and holding an earpiece to the phone mic but needs constant attention to keep it there. A better way is to use the phones headset and rest the mic on the radio speaker. It's important it seems to keep the phone or tablet away from the radio as it appears to introduce noise.

I'm using this with an Elton G3 SSB receiver with a headphone line out into an HTC Desire phone. Works really well.

Works well and has good help section. I place my headphones by the phone microphone and get good results without filling the room with fax audio.Sony 7600d with an extension antenna to reduce noise levels produces clear charts to plan your trip by or for amateur weather forecasting. Better than my PC programme.

Works great on my Galaxy Tab 2. Wired input to the headset jack with SoundAbout to turn off device microphone for cleanest signal. Quick and helpful support from WOLPHILLC is a welcome bonus.

Works As Advertised This app works as advertised. Just tried it out on Pt. Reye's on 22mHz in auto mode and it started receiving. I didn't even need to do a slant adjustment. I'm using an Asus Nexus 7. It would be nice if the Nexus 7 had a mic or line in jack so I could feed the app audio from my receiver's audio out jack and not have to listen to the fax audio...this is no fault of the app, however. That headphone trick the other fellow mentioned would probably accomplish the same thing...I just haven't tried it yet. Thanks!
