Ratings and reviews

Do NOT waste your money. This app is NOT user friendly AT ALL. I've tried to connect to my radio multiple times. I finally figured out I needed to have my developer options on to be able to transfer data. When I was finally able to actually download my previous channel list from the radio I wasn't able to edit it in any way. There are absolutely no instructions for anything. Then, somehow, the app erased everything on my radio. All the work I'd done was just gone. In a word, HORRIBLE!

The good stuff: I finally have a way to program my UV-9R Pro without a computer. The Not-So-Good Stuff: 1. The USB interface is cranky. 2. Export gives a coded string instead of a formatted block that could be pasted into a spreadsheet. 3. I can only use UPPERCASE, underscore and numbers for tags, while the radio supports spaces, lowercase, and some special characters. 4. Have to compute offset instead of just entering Tx freq. 5. Data entry screen is not Tab key friendly.

The BF888 was listed as supported. The program reads the radios but fails to write to them, tested with multiple phones. I've emailed the developer three times in three weeks, via two email addresses and haven't gotten any indication of anything, in return. Apparently, I am ineligible for a Google refund, as well, buyer be VERY aware.
