Features & Capabilities

Morse Mania is a morse code tutor app. Morse Mania provides the following modules to help you learn morse code:

Learn Characters - A morse code character is displayed on the screen as it is being played. This is useful when you're first learning the morse code alphabet, as it helps you link each sound to the corresponding character.

Guess a Character - Morse code characters are played, and you must determine which was sent. At the end of the exercise, your score is displayed.

Copy Groups - Random five letter morse code character groups are sent (and displayed on the screen). You select how many morse code groups you would like to have sent, and practice by copying the groups down. At the end of the exercise, compare what you copied to what was actually sent.

Copy Words - Random words are sent (and displayed on the screen). You select how many words you would like to have sent, and practice by copying them down. At the end of the exercise, compare what you copied to what was actually sent.

Simulated QSO - Random simulated QSOs are sent, so you get real world copying practice.

Simulated QSO - Random simulated QSOs are sent, so you get real world copying practice.

Keying - You can send more code by tapping the screen, and Morse Mania will decode it.

Typing - Tap characters on your virtual keyboard, and Morse Mania will play them.

You can configure Morse Mania to work just the way you want it to:

Set the volume and pitch of the generated morse code, as well as the speed in WPM (Words Per Minute).

Select the individual groups of characters you wish to practice.

Farnsworth mode lets you double the speed of the dots and dashes, while preserving the correct WPM, making sure you don't get stuck at the low speed "plateau".

Koch mode lets you select individual characters to learn. Once you master a character, you add another.

User Reviews

Morse Mania is praised as an effective, flexible Morse code trainer with Koch/Farnsworth options and strong learning support. However, recurring concerns include missing audio, outdated updates and compatibility issues, stability problems, and a dated UI. Improving audio support, updating for newer iOS versions, stabilizing performance, and modernizing the UI could significantly enhance its standing.
Pros
  • Effective Morse code learning/training; users report it helps learn CW and even regain speed after a long break.
  • Highly customizable practice and easy-to-use settings, including selecting letters/numbers to practice.
  • Supports both Koch and Farnsworth teaching methods, giving learners choice in approach.
  • Regarded by many users as one of the best Morse code training apps available.
Cons
  • No sound/audio in the app, which many users find essential for Morse training.
  • Lack of updates and ongoing compatibility issues with newer iOS versions; some reviews mention pop-ups and general staleness.
  • Stability and performance problems, including crashes and slow recognition at higher speeds.
  • Cumbersome or primitive UI compared to modern apps, with requests for more features and a smoother user experience.

Don't remember how I found it, but very useful. So far I have just used it for character recognition.

This app is helping me to learn CW easier than other apps I have tried.

40 years ago, I passed my 20 wpm code requirement for my Extra class. Because of my jobs and travel to nearly 100 countries between then and now, I’ve gotten more than a little rusty and at 71, this program has helped me get my “ears” back. Thank you for such a useful program.
