Not sure where I can submit bug details. Everything is working on the system, I was able to make contacts on 10 m. I wanted to play with the 2 m & 70 cm band, and when I tune to both those bands it tunes the radio to 44.460 instead of 144.460 and will tune to 30.510 instead of 430.510. All other bands tune properly. I'm using a IC-705 and a Galaxy S21. For a quick fix I'm manually tuning into the frequency after opening the app. Keep up the great work.

Super excited about this! Any chance of support for digirig ptt? It's an audio/serial interface that can implement ptt with an RTS signal with audio only cable with several major radio brands

All in all I really like this app. I've tested it recently on a four day SOTA/POTA hike & had fun with it during portable operations. I'm giving only 4 stars, as it doesn't know how to handle suffixes at all (i.e. SP0XXX/P) :(. If this gets fixed, it will be a solid 5.

Hi! Great app! Love it, I just have one request, hence not 5 stars. When people call call sign/QRP, the app pick it up as such but when you click on it, it just picks up QRP, not call sign/QRP. Thanks!

Won't Transmit. I used the same setup and wiring that I use for WSJT-X on my laptop. The vendor said to turn the volume down on the phone. I also made sure that the phone volume doesn't turn up inside the app settings. It still doesn't transmit properly, but it does receive. ALC is 100. Power output is 0 Watts. I'm using a Xingu G90 in the settings because this is the radio I'm using. It doesn't matter what I do. Don't Purchase. You cannot adjust your ALC or power like you can in WSJT-X. Junk!
