## Review summary

User feedback shows strong enthusiasm for the app’s visualization features and cross-platform use, but persistent Bluetooth problems and limited model support undermine reliability. Some users report the app works on certain devices (e.g., MacBook Air, Stick Pro/600) and improves after updates, while many experience frequent drops, failed connections, or devices not being recognized. Apple/iOS/macOS support appears weak, with driver issues and security prompts. Overall, the app offers valuable live scans and Smith Chart visualization when it connects, but reliability varies greatly by model and platform.

### Pros

- Simple, easy-to-use interface when the device connects.
- Powerful visualization features, including live scans and a Smith Chart.
- Cross-platform usability on Mac/Windows and Android for some models.
- Recent updates have reduced Bluetooth disconnects for Stick Pro.
- Valuable data and graphics for supported models (e.g., Stick Pro, Stick Pro 600).

### Cons

- Bluetooth connectivity is unreliable and frequently drops or fails to reconnect.
- Limited/model-specific compatibility; many popular RigExpert models are not recognized or unsupported.
- Poor support and signs of abandonment; not consistently updated.
- Apple/iOS/macOS Bluetooth issues and driver problems, with extra steps to get the app running.
- Memory-channel data may be inaccessible or unavailable for previously scanned data on certain analyzers.
