About this app

This morse code learning app has two main modes:

- Learn mode. Where user can learn morse code step by step, using incremental learning of the individual sounds (rather than a look up table of character to code). So for a complete novice, this would start with 1 character, then 2, and so on, but only as users demonstrates that the 'know' the code already introduced. This learning should be built up over a number of sessions, and the current settings are saved so that learning can continue where you left off.
Note: Default character introduction sequence is 'Cunningham', but 'Koch' can easily be selected via the menu (your choice)

- Listen mode. Once the code has been learned, it's fun to practice reading. So the app has some built in text files, as well a random text generator, and sample QSO generator.

Help text explaining operation and each control is accessible via the menu function.

Only English text available in this version.

Please see web site for learning method background and user documentation.

Please note that this app is based upon the concepts contained in the PC based "Teach' software, written by Gary E.J. Bold. ZL1AN. Without his help this app would not exist... Many thanks Gary (RIP)

user interface is not very clear, a sounds is played, and then you guess until maybe you get it right... feedback isn't clear, uninstalling. edit: I do want an app that teaches by sound, not display since code is transmitted via audio, not display. Most apps show dots and dashes, which is probably the best way to handicap yourself for copy. I do like that the option to set the character speed. My issue is that there's just no teaching component; it's basically a test, not so much training.

It is a learning method, and is widely used. I understand that you won't know each newly introduced character, but once the app tells you what it is and then repeats it, you soon 'learn' to associate the sound with that character. Introduction of new characters are at the users pace, when they have demonstrated they 'know' the existing set...

I've found this app very good for learning morse code. When I have 5 minutes spare, I sit down and practice listening for a bit. Occasionally when you press a letter on the keyboard for the one you have heard, it doesn't light up, but you get used to it quickly. I'd like it if the listen mode had an option where it could just play lines and lines of text, mine seems to play them in random order. To listen to a practice QSO I have to put the whole conversation on one line. However, having said that, I really like that app ad will continue using it. Thanks.

Many thanks for the feedback Andrew. Have you tried the 'Gen QSOs' option, which generates random QSO text. Please see V6.0

Absolutely brilliant. I'd given up trying to use phone (S8) for re-learning CW (30 yrs off) as the keyboard on othe apps was impossible. This app is a life-saver (not literally obvs.) I've been using LCWO site but kept hitting walls and giving up. This Fansworth method suits me better than Koch but the combination of both is brilliant. AND... for when driving, decoding the pre-programmed QSO's is genius... though I found out it's not just code to learn but abreviations too! You Sir are a legend!
