New DL8MRE iPad/iPhone APP - at Dayton Flex Dinner

With Marcus' permission I will demoing Marcus, (DL8MRE), New ALPHA version IPad/iPhone App at Dayton Flex Dinner and possibly at the Flex booth.
Since this is an ALPHA stage product, IT WILL NOT BE AN OFFICIAL DEMO but I will have my iPad with me during Cocktail Hour and at my Table if you want to see it... and I do not want to take away from the Announcements and other Demos at the Flex Dinner...
In many ways it's similar to Stu K6TU app BUT in many ways it's different.
Here are some highlights of the differences:
1. Spots on the display work
2. Snap to frequency selection. Much easier to tune than K6TU
3. CWX works
4. TNF works
5. Close emulation of SSDR. (Good and Bad)
6. Region Band map on the display ( but USA does not obey the rules)
7. Works for BOTH iPad and iPhone
The jury is out as to the touch screen emulation as K6TU is more Ipad centric. So if you are comfortable with the iOS paradigm, K6TU feels more natural than a SSDR emulation.
Each will have people who prefer one operating paradigm over the other.
It is still an alpha and Marcus needs more testers to find all the bugs
However he is pretty close to having a finished product that might likely be ready by July in Apple App Store
NO HE IS NOT DOING AN ANDROID VERSION...He apparently found that Android is just too difficult to support because there are so many difference in Android versions between devices and manufacturers...

once RadioApp has been released and once I finished a few additional things I like to add to this App later on (e.g. Griffin PowerMate support and a logging feature), I will look into that. I developed RadioApp with this in mind. It has been developed in Swift, and I tried to use no third party library so it will be "just up to me" to get it ported to the Mac. However, even though, it will be a lot of work which is unlikely to be finished this year.
I would be interested to know how many people are interested in a Mac version if this App so everybody who likes to see a Mac Version of my RadioApp, please let me know somehow.

I'm with you - I always pay for support for upgrades, but am reluctant to "rent software" that requires me to "fee the meter" to have the software.
Got caught out on an expiring subscription deal when moving (back from overseas) that was really inconvenient, and consider it a learned lesson.
I'm okay with the N4PY and FRS style where you have to be a support subscriber to get updates/upgrades, but your core software will still run regardless.

Whats the release timeline?

An iPhone version is a great idea. Even if I want to ride around in the car and just listen, an iPhone version would be perfect.
Thanks for the description.
I also found my added VOX feature working surprising well. I found it even kind of funny to walk around with my iPhone, having some QSOs which for other look like I am talking to somebody via Cell on a regular phone call.
The Mike features will even get better with my next release were I fixed the low Mike gain and level gauge issue.
I will be fixing and adding some missing features today and possibly tomorrow and will release another update soon.
Thanks for all your testing guys and your positive feedback.

Have a great time in Paris!
