Koch Trainer App Reviews

The current version does everything I need it to do. Uses Koch method and Farnsworth timing as recommended by most CW mentors. Works as advertised. Scratch pad feature is helpful as well. I'm a novice with CW and this app is Definitely helpful in building skill. Could it be improved by adding more features? Sure. But it does the job well and it's priced right. Great job by the Pignology team.

This is a SUPER basic app. The user interface isn’t really what someone that ever USED it would have built. BUT it is one of the only apps in the entire store that isn’t a child’s toy. This is a genuine learning app. The most glaring omission is that it doesn’t grade your session, it will display - In A Different FONT - what it sent and what you typed. If this sounds hard to reconcile, it is! This app seems like a beta release from someone that doesn’t really know what the app should do or

Best CW app for macs. Koch is the best CW method and this is the best of the best apps to learn code. It is all you’ll need to master CW at high speed. There is a problem with lack of speaker sound on older I-pads like mine without a mute switch. The developer has not corrected this yet, but it still works great with ear phones. If your listening to code then you will want to use earphones any way. Works great on I-phones and Mac computers. Negative reviews regarding sequence of letters displ

This is a basic app to learn CW, no frills. I’ve been using this app daily for several months and so far I find it to be the best resource for learning CW. You have the option of changing WPM, or the space between the sent letters. You can adjust the pitch of the tone as well as how many characters will be sent in a test session. You can choose the Koch method where only a few characters are added at a time. You can practice call signs, words or even qso’s. My only complaint is that I can

1 you can adjust to any speed you like You can start at 5wpm or higher 2 you learn by sound of the letters 3 spacing arrangements. Space at 5 wpm but send the letters at 30 wpm 4 this is a serious tool- don’t challenge the order of the letters ,numbers etc 5 hear m - - k -.- associate sound with the letter that’s where speed comes in 6 you could start at 20 or 30 wpm! I trained myself in 1976 when I became a ham operator. I studied the letters then the sound- wrong . It’s sound associate the

I took my ham radio exams years ago when Morse was required in order to pass, but I never used it much (lazy)! Now 30 years later I want to re-learn Morse and this is definitely the best way to do it. I want to be proficient at 13 wpm, so I am starting at 13 wpm with the “Koch speed” set to 18. Also, now in my mid 70s, I need something to keep the brain from atrophying…this is certainly doing just that. Great App!

If you want to practice CW using a Farnsworth approach (run letters at fast wpm but use additional space in until you speed up) then this app is what you want. No thrills, but I’m not looking for thrills! To the point CW practice. I have used it for years on MacBook.

Bug prevents the app from working on older (2G) devices, but developer knows what the problem is, and is working on a solution. Very good customer service - quick response to question.

Great trainer. Works as it should on IPhone 3GS running 5.0. I have been looking for a Koch code trainer at a great price. Thank you! Jay K7GFH

I have to admit, I was disappointed that the app required the use of headphones. Fortunately, I had a set from my old iPhone that worked well. If someone knows how to enable the speaker on my iPad for this app, I would appreciate it.

A good price, it is complete (no add ons), and seems to work well. TNX

The app works slick until I go to change to the next lesson, it freezes and I can't go any further. iPhone 5 ios8

Been working great until latest iOS update to 8.0.2. Hoping to have a fix soon as I'm still learning CW and this is the perfect app for that!

Koch Trainer covers the basics, but it's a poorly designed app. The audio pops, it's much stronger in one ear, and it doesn't remember my settings when I re-launch it.

I wish it had farnsworth spacing like G4FON's does. Much more helpful to me to listen to 30wpm characters but at 15wpm spacing. I am going to try Morse Elmer that I just read about in FISTS newsletter.

Unable to hear any audio for copying code. Audio on iPad works fine with other applications. Checked audio settings on iPad, all looked good.
