SSTV Slow Scan TV for Positive User Reviews

GreatExcellent idea for the ipad which works amazingly well. Has enough control to be simple enough for anyone to give it a go. Good work guys!.Version: 1.3

Great fun!I use this app to decode pictures coming down from the International Space Station. It’s very convenient. I do have trouble using the sliders for skew, etc and would appreciate some sort of logarithmic sensitivity to allow fine adjustments..Version: 2.0

Basic but does the jobThe latest update has included the ability to send images too. I don't know why this was not included from day one. Now I can test it between my ipad and iPhone. As someone else mentioned the controls are too sensitive. You slide the slider to straighten the image but you cannot lift your finger off the control without it going w only again. It seems to handle every SSTV format going.Version: 1.3

ExcellentIt does what it says. Captured the SSTV from the ISS. Ideal for demonstration to kids.Version: 2.0

Very goodIt's interesting to decode the pictures from amsat podcast with acoustic coupling..Version: 1.8

Great SSTV RXThis SSTV decoding app works very well, it is easier to use in the iPad rather than to iPhone as it is is easier to use the skew control. It would be useful if the developer could add auto skew correction. Also is there plans to add transmit ability? The app works fine just place the microphone near the radio speaker..Version: 1.2.1

Works!As stated before, it's crude, but it works. I wish the skew and phase sliders would adjust sensitivity the farther your finger is away from them like how it is in the Music app, but other than that I would say wonderful..Version: 1.3

Awesome!The interface is a bit crude, but that's not important. It was always useful for allowing me to easily decode SSTV anywhere, but now that it can also transmit it's perfect. Good job!.Version: 1.3

AwesomeI'm not into amateur radio, but SSTV is still fascinating. This app seems to work with all the modes the SSTV program on my computer can throw at it. Please add the sending of images, if it isn't too hard to implement, that would be great..Version: 1.1

Handy as a Pocket on a Shirt!All you need is this app and a radio and you can send and receive SSTV images! It's super-easy! I've got this on both my iPad and iPhone! It ROCKS!!.Version: 1.7.1

Exactly as describedI used this app until my iPad battery died out. I just left it sitting next to a pair of headphones playing back 14.230MHz and captured a wide array of SSTV images in a number of modes. I also used it to validate the audio I was generating from some software to do SSTV transmissions and it was very useful to just have it sitting there picking up each new playback of the audio. It is straightforward and doesn't do the things like auto-slant, but all the controls you need to work with received images are there and easy to use..Version: 1.1

Great App!Simple and easy to use. Great for the UV5R and APRS cable.Version: 2.0

Nice!This app was very well. Basically open and it auto detects the modes. No problems. Works Great!.Version: 1.8

It works.This is a good app and it does decode SSTV audio (I used it to decode images from the International Space Station) but the Phase and Skew controls are way, way too sensitive on the iPhone. The slightest movement of the control can throw the image way off. From one app developer to another - you need to decrease the min and max values for those slider controls by a factor of 10 or so..Version: 1.7.0

Great SSTV appI use it on 20metres almost exclusively, portability is important as the noise level in my house means all HF work is from the shed without electricity. Scottie and Martin are recieved from Europe with good copy even under poor signal conditions using the manual mode. This app is one of best for mobile devices and SSTV on the go is far more convenient with my iPod or iPad than other apps. VK3YWB.Version: 1.7.0

Works very wellDoes exactly what I need and does it well..Version: 1.3

Works Great! Worth the price.Quite enjoying this program. Only 2 things you will need to know about it. The “(null)” can be corrected when you are in the TX screen by selecting the text you wish to send. And the other I have found is when receiving photos, turn your transceiver/receiver volume up or down until you get a clear picture. 73, VA7WCJ..Version: 2.0

Sstv is cool!Solid app. Easy to use and intuitive. Have fun with sstv! I recommend for some fun entertainment for the cost of a cheeseburger👍.Version: 2.0

Great program. Needs retina HD supportThis is going to be used to pull images from ISS as it goes overhead and it looks to be a good solution for that. One minor quibble. It needs to be updated for Retina HD displays..Version: 1.7.0

OkThis app should be able to send all modes like pad and “mr” please fix this and I will be satisfied but for now I’m starting to look in to other soft wares.Version: 2.0

Excellent !Thank you again for the Update this January of 2017 73's.Version: 2.0

Extraordinary!This app enabled painless reception of images from the ISS - using only an HT and a tape measure beam. Easy to set up, and is supported well..Version: 1.7.0

ISS SSTV received!Worked great getting SSTV from the International Space Station!! Just held it up next to my HT and got a pretty decent image!!.Version: 2.0

Works, but pictures all say (null)This app is really cool, and it definitely works. But for some reason, the side that receives the image always has (null) on it. I'm pretty sure that this is intentional, because I don't think that it can accidentally be transmitted with a picture that says (null)..Version: 2.0

Good appThis is a good app I enjoy using it very much I like the challenge of getting a picture to show up doesn’t always happen but it’s fine anyway thank you very much.Version: 2.0

ConveinientGood work on the App. I'm not the only one from my club using this successfully. Another member has left his iPhone and receiver unattended to decode images swapped at our weekly SSTV meet. I'm doing fine just with the phone mic facing the radio's speaker. Greetings from VK4WIP amateur club..Version: 1.3

Works with iPhoneThis app is a fun way to play with receiving sstv on the go. I use it with my iPhone and my daughters like to use it with their hf receivers and old iPhones we have given them..Version: 1.2

Nice program needs workI have used this program successfully for several months and am generally happy with it. The basic functions I find easy to use. I use Solocator to get pictures because it puts GPS numbers on the photo automatically and I was able to type my callsign in the same font size, something I could not do in Black Cat..Version: 2.0

Great appThis is a great app for portable use. dont have to bring bunch of wires and hardwares. It autosaves your received images to photos folder. One issue, it sometimes changes mode in a blink of an eye and right before the sstv station starts to transmit, bit annoying, so you have to keep an eye on your phone that its in the right mode. Hopefully updates will fix and add mode lock. So far it works great..Version: 2.0

It works wellWorks well with iPad 1, iPad 3, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4S. Application will TX/RX directly and over HF/VHF/UHF radios. I have an isolated cable on the way that connects directly to my 817ND and the iPad headset jack. I'll give it a try once it arrives. It's a little wonky on the auto-start, thus partial images sometimes = 4 stars.Version: 1.3

Works awesome!Made a tape measure 2m antenna and connected to my HT. Worked flawlessly just held near my radio. So pleased with the results..Version: 2.0

SSTVTried this for the first time when my fellow hams were using complicated software on their computers. They were surprised when I could download the SSTV on my iPhone..Version: 1.3

ExcellentIve had this on various iOs devices for years. Its flexible enough to deal with many different usage from holding the phone up to the speaker or mic to receive or transmit sstv or using cables to plug directly into the radio, HT or main radio both work great. have used decoupling for the interface but wasnt really needed..Version: 2.0

Needs updateWorks well for what it is but needs a refresh the mic on a iPhone is not that great also fix the word glitch large letters have 2 per picture..Version: 1.3

Very goodISS sending SSTV for a few days just using my hand held scanner and the phone mic got a bit of a picture but lost signal.Version: 2.0

Great App!Thanks for the hard work, 73.Version: 1.3

Works as promised!This is an amazing app! For those of us who enjoy sstv it's some surprise to see an sstv image taking form on the iPad screen. The app works well with input from the iPad mike put next to a speaker, but for the best operation it should have direct audio input. This can be accomplished using the apple iPad camera connector kit and a USB audio interface such as the iMic. As always, it helps to have a good signal to track and it doesn't hurt to know the format; Scottie 2, etc. Although with a decent signal the app can detect it. All in all, a very worthwhile use for the iPad..Version: 0

Terrific piece of work. Love it.Greatest.Version: 2.0

Great App Performs GreatI’ve captured all kind of SSTV using a hand held and a rubber duck through the speaker. Works as well as any other app or program..Version: 2.0

SuggestionsPhase and Skew sliders are too sensitive.. also does not TX in every mode .. other than that great app.Version: 1.9

Great appWorks great. Ipad interface and audio detection seems better than on my 4s. Only thing we need now is a transmitter!.Version: 1.2

May need a few touch upsFor the most part, it works well and delivers a superb image quality. But it has a few issuse. 1st, The Auto start and Auto detect don't always work. Sometimes the auto start will start randomly at loud noises or for no reason at all. The auto detect will sometimes make mistakes (ex: B/W 8 or Martin M1 instead of Robot36c), or won't auto detect at all(will just start receiving image without auto detecting mode). 2nd, Phase and Skew can be touchy and hard to use on ipod. When you move either and release it, sometimes it will leap forward or backward on it's own. Also, sometimes when the Phase and skew buttons are alligned, the Phase button will not move(stuck). Also, i personaly think that the Phase and Skew buttons shoud have a reset button. I give this app 4 stars, becasue for all its faults, it is very useful..Version: 1.2

Almost perfectWorks great for receiving even just holding near my HT on low volume. The sliders for adjusting phase and skew tend to keep moving after you lift your finger and it throws off the image. Also there should be a way to automatically save received picture data and/or the audio files. It "auto-detected" the start of a new picture and wiped out the last one before I could save..Version: 2.0

Crashes on iOS 13.1.2Wonderful app but please fix the crash..Version: 2.0

Thanks!Just wanted to say thanks for making this and thanks for maintaining it!.Version: 1.6

Almost perfectThis app decodes SSTV extremely well, even just using the microphone set next to my radio. It even did a good job when I was across the room. My only gripe is that I'd really like to be able to save the images to the camera roll so that I can text the images to my friends. It is strange that I can email or tweet or send to Facebook but I can't text the image? This app would be 5-star with that functionality..Version: 1.8

It's good, but...Like the app, easy to use. I wish there was transmit capabilities for ALL modes....Version: 2.0
