About this app

The use of WoAD requires a valid amateur radio license. Do not use, install, or download WoAD unless you have a valid amateur radio license, or a license from a participating government service or agency. Ship station, marine or general radiotelephone licenses do not qualify.

WoAD can be used as a client of the Winlink Global Radio EmailⓇ system or for direct connection to a peer-to-peer (P2P) capable client, via either the internet or a VHF/UHF AX.25 packet connection.

You are strongly encouraged to read through the WoAD documentation (available at https://woad.sumusltd.com/documentation) before use. You can also install WoAD for free, through an apk file available at https://woad.sumusltd.com/download.

WoAD, like much of ham radio, is highly technical in nature. For those unfamiliar with packet radio and/or Winlink the learning curve may be steep and frustrating.

Should you encounter a problem or roadblock while running WoAD there are several resources available to you:
* the documentation: always a good place to start and always expanding: https://woad.sumusltd.com/documentation
* the support group: a community of WoAD users who may be able to provide assistance: https://groups.google.com/g/woad-support
* bug report page: for when the problem is with WoAD itself. Please take the time to submit a bug report (even if it is just a typo) as everyone will benefit: https://woad.sumusltd.com/bug-report
* feature request: for when WoAD is missing an opportunity to be more useful or less irritating: https://woad.sumusltd.com/feature-request

Ratings and reviews

our EmComm groups locally use Winlink express on radios which requires that we have windows computers. some of us are moving to Linux which leaves us with a choice of Direwolf with pat, or something else. we have begun using Woad and it seems good from a telnet pov. others have tried on apple and used radio mail. we are still trying these out, but they seem to work. now, I hear that woad with a cable cen work with the radios usb-c port as well. we will be working on checking that out soon

Expensive and doesn't work. Tried to pair/connect with UV-PRO on two different phones. I know it isn't the phone or the radio because the B-Tech app connects with the radio fine. Apparently useless.

Extremely pleased and happy with the App. Well executed.
