## Description

SDR-Control Mobile is a native iOS app that lets you operate Icom transceivers at home or anywhere via the Internet, without extra hardware. It supports IC-705, IC-7610, IC-9700, IC-7760, IC-R8600 and IC-7300 MK2, and requires an iPhone running iOS 17+. 

Key features include full control of the transceiver in all modes, local or remote operation, a logbook with auto-logging and ADIF import/export, FT8/FT4 tool, SSTV receiver, CW decoder and keyer, DX-Cluster integration, callsign lookup, and a map view showing stations with heading and distance. It also supports UDP log submission to external logging software and does not require USB cables.

## Review summary

SDR-Control Mobile is highly praised for remote radio control, strong FT8/digital features, and seamless cross‑device syncing across Apple devices. Users appreciate not needing a laptop and the broad radio compatibility. However, several reviews note reliability issues (crashes, transmit lock), a perceived high price, and requests for more digital modes and log/export improvements. Some UI/memory features could be clearer. Overall, it’s a powerful, well-regarded tool for supported radios, with room for stability and feature refinements.

### Pros

- Remote control of compatible radios from iPhone/iPad with very low latency, enabling operation from anywhere without a laptop
- Rich FT8 and digital feature set, including automatic logging, PSK Reporter, band plan, POTA spotting, and a solid FT8 interface
- Cross‑device ecosystem with iCloud syncing across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, plus automatic log export to iCloud
- Intuitive, feature‑rich, stable UI that provides full radio control on supported models (IC‑705, 7300, 7610, 9700, etc.)
- Removes the need for a dedicated laptop, making portable/remote operation much more convenient

### Cons

- Reliability issues: occasional crashes and scenarios where the radio can be left in transmit mode
- High price; considered premium/expensive by many reviewers
- Missing or limited digital modes/features; requests for JS8Call support and more digital capabilities
- Log export/handling issues after updates (logbook export stops functioning, POTA contacts waiting upload)
- Minor UI/memory features gaps (memory bank naming and initiating memory scans)
