5/5Great Winlink client
I purchased this app mainly to support the modernization of Amateur Radio software. It is also an extremely convenient and clean way to access Winlink mail. I recognized when purchasing the app that it did not have a software modem that utilizes the iPhone’s audio system — I’d love to see this added in the future, as it is key to inexpensively accessing some scenarios. One small bug I encountered: the hourly automated email check, via Telnet, does not work for me. I’ve made sure background app refresh is enabled.

4/5Great app… needs a couple of UI additions for portable use
Update: 1. The author may implement a “Near Me” button and a way to connect to a nearby station from the results without having to favorite the station first. 2. There’s already a refresh RMS list in the app settings! I think the Station List should be sorted every time it’s accessed, that way the stations are always in Closest to Furthest order. Was: This app makes sending/receiving email via ham radio easy! To make it really user friendly for portable use it needs two additional features, which should be easy to implement: 1) Add a button to force an update to the Station list so that it’s always up to date for your current location. 2) After looking at the Station List and finding a nearby station, there needs to be a button on the Station Info screen so that you can immediately start a connection to that station - without having to go through the multi-button-pressing, page-switching process of adding a station to the Favorites List, closing the Stations List, opening the Favorites List, finding the Station in the Favorites List, opening it and finally pressing the Connect button… and then deleting the Station from the Favorites List when you change locations. Other than those two UI additions, it’s the perfect app!

5/5Will not open and locks up my iPhone 16 running iOS 26.2
UPDATE: I brought the issue to the developer’s attention during a holiday weekend. Still, he started work on it right away and fixed the problem in a couple of days. Top notch program developed by an excellent programmer who provides exceptional customer service. Well done! Working with the developer to sort this out. Quick response from the developer, BTW, even on a holiday weekend. Hopefully, he can figure out the issue.

5/5Has Everything Needed Except Forms
This app paired with the Mobilinkd TNC is my preferred setup. My only complaint is the lack of Winlink forms. In the app FAQ, the reasoning given is the lack of forms being scalable for the screen size. Personally, a majority of my Winlink messages received uses forms and the only option is to read the raw .xml file. I do not care if they are scaled for desktop screen size and less than ideal circumstances. Forms would allow this app to be used for 100% of my Winlink usage.

5/5Amazing app support
Though I don’t use the app as much as I initially though when acquired, it has been a great asset to enable reducing the amount of kit in my go bag. As a bonus it enables to check for Winlink messages via non-radio means. I also want to give a shout out to developer. Not only does he respond to feature requests and questions in rather short order. He also advises of important updates and issues being addressed on a personal level.
