I worked with Morse code a good bit in the US Navy, and I like the app for what it is. It performs perfectly, allows you to change the speed of the encoded message/pulses. That is a feature I thought was imperative. You may need to send less detectable bursts at a faster pace, or you may need to send slower constant pulses... which at a slower speed, I believe, allows a potential observer to be able to see the pattern easier then focus on its message. Great app!!!

Very nice start, buy it is also missing the feature i'm looking for : both sending but also READING morse light signals. This app shows morse you send as an "chat room", but there is no way to receive morse using the camera. I hope this will be added later. The style and completeness of the rest of the app is awesome! Also hope sound receiving is added later.

The developer doesn't know how Morse Code works. Signals are linked together in an unintelligible manner. In Morse Code there are pauses. The shortest pause is between signals representing a symbol. A slightly longer pause is between symbols. An even longer pause is between groups of symbols (words). This app sends SOS like this: ...---... instead of ... --- ... I will change my rating after the errors are fixed. EDIT! Oops! My bad! I've made an untested generalization. Dunning-Kruger Effect...

Hi Emil, Thanks for your feedback. Our app uses pauses between letters and words. However, when it comes to distress signal (aka SOS) it is "transmitted as an unbroken sequence of three dots / three dashes / three dots, with no spaces between the letters." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOS]
