Ratings and reviews

2026 review. You cannot store a list of favorite band segments to scan. So, when tuning a multi band antenna, you have to set the upper and lower ranges each and every time. Bluetooth disconnects every five minutes for no reason. I haven't had to export graphic data yet, I hope to god that works. The app really drags the equipment down. Speaking of, I'm using the expensive StickXPro, and the standalone unit won't save even five band presets. Sadly this app is not updated. It is what it is...

Getting the app and the RigExpert Stick Pro to connect it very finicky. I have tried on 5 different devices and it's the same for each one. Once your connected you have a short time before the device will turn off and you loose connection. You can not scan all bands like you can directly on the device to find where your antenna is tuned to. And the biggest gripe is you can't save your preferred settings. This should be an amazing extension to the tool, but it very limited.

A few crashes, especially in TDR mode. Bluetooth seems a little finicky and drops out occasionally. The crosshair cursors are hard to see and hard to manipulate...easier if you have a phone with a stylus (Samsung S23 Ultra). I'm still not clear on how saving and exporting data works so I'm taking screenshots.
