Packet Pad Reviews

Absolute Garbage

Frankly, an embarrassment to amateur radio. The worst piece of software I have ever used for any purpose.

~ By htdrjigghh356)

Deprecated, not working any more

Not working for Android X iOS 12 - the app does not pick up audio from mic or an external mic.

~ By kawfey

Works sometimes, but not enough to be worth more than $.99

Often takes restarting the app two or three times before it even recognizes most transmissions, and then when it finally does, the error rate is close to 25%. This is pretty much the way this developer works. Just get a cheap Android, and free software for ham radio. It'll work better, and you won't be paying a premium for trashy apps.

Does not work with iPad

Will not decode packets even when placed on speaker. Might be better on Android but so far all I get is garbage.

~ By W8JGP

Works as intended.

It does what it is supposed to do. Decodes packets. Not a problem just holding up to the speaker. It will help me with my packet work.
