Review summary

Users praise the app's effectiveness for learning Morse code and its privacy-friendly design, with rapid alphabet mastery. However, recurring issues—intrusive monetization, persistent bugs that block progression, occasional progress resets, and UI glitches—tarnish the experience. Overall value remains high for teaching Morse code, but reliability and monetization concerns are common complaints.

Pros

Effective Morse code training leading to quick alphabet mastery.
Privacy-friendly design with no data collection reported.
Clear, engaging learning format that aids practice and memorization.

Cons

Intrusive subscription prompts and ads disrupt the user experience.
Frequent bugs that block progress (e.g., tests stuck, level access errors).
Progress can reset or become lost after updates or during use.
UI/layout issues that hide controls or hinder interaction (bottom buttons or input fields).

2025-05-24	Wa*****	the incessant subscription prompts are quite off-putting. hey, let’s bring amateur radio to a new generation, but be sure to take a great app and ruin it with subscription prompts every few seconds to really keep the people away. app was totally fine before the subscription prompts. delete.

2024-05-24	Bo*****	I love this app however two things have happened that make it unplayable now. Everything was fine until I got half way through the alphabet and I loved it so much I bought a month subscription. First it was getting stuck at 98 percent on the listening tests and I'd be stuck there for 15-20 minutes mindlessly playing until it snapped out of it. When I finally got through the alphabet portion the little fireworks screen came on and I can't move past it. I can't move on to the word section so I had to cancel the subscription. If not for the technical issues this app is great. I learned the whole alphabet in a day and half. I like the format a lot.

2024-03-28	bi*****	I downloaded this app three days ago. I have tried to memorize Morse code in the past but have given up. This time I was able to master the entire alphabet fairly quickly, but now I am getting an error message telling me I can’t access level 73. I would really like to continue using the “learn” feature to practice. Hopefully this will be fixed soon, because this really would be a great app for learning and practicing Morse code if not for that glitch. Update: After the update I can access all the levels. The downside: now that I have completed all of the levels there is no way to just continue practicing. I paid for the lifetime access, but I am hoping the developer will add the ability to continue using the “learn” button to practice all of the letters. That would make this a five-star app for me.

2024-03-23	th*****	I was recommending this app to everyone due to it’s amazing data policy of NO Data Collected. I LOVE that. It also used to be ad free and was supposed to remain so (or so I thought). It now has ads in order to get the next letter. I would rather pay $1.99 than have ads. There are other apps almost as good as this one with the same privacy policy and No Ads. Turn the ads off and/or offer a paid version and I’ll use the app again. If not, this app is dead to me.

2024-03-21	Wi*****	I am having the same trouble as another reviewer where the buttons at the bottom of the listening portion of the training are not accessible. What I believe was a recent response from the developer said it was fixed but maybe not for everyone. Any help would be great…

2024-02-01	Bu*****	The app is not usable past level 53, but extremely effective until then. If the screen is able to be slid down to see the bottom rows and if you are able to use the “listen” button, I would recommend this to everyone.

2024-01-20	bR*****	I learned 75% of morse code on this app. I really enjoyed the app. It's very effective in teaching morse code. HOWEVER, the large space at the top of the listen exercise cuts off the buttons at the bottom so I can't respond with those letters, and you can't progress without getting 100%. It was great while it lasted, but the bugs prevented further progress.
