Learn Morse Code - G0HYN Learn Morse
- Learn mode. Where user can learn morse code step by step, using incremental learning of the individual sounds (rather than a look up table of character to code). So for a complete novice, this would start with 1 character, then 2, and so on, but only as users demonstrates that the 'know' the code already introduced. This learning should be built up over a number of sessions, and the current settings are saved so that learning can continue where you left off.
Note: Default character introduction sequence is 'Cunningham', but 'Koch' can easily be selected via the menu (your choice)
- Listen mode. Once the code has been learned, it's fun to practice reading. So the app has some built in text files, as well a random text generator, and sample QSO generator.
Help text explaining operation and each control is accessible via the menu function.
Only English text available in this version.
Please see web site for learning method background and user documentation.
Please note that this app is based upon the concepts contained in the PC based "Teach' software, written by Gary E.J. Bold. ZL1AN. Without his help this app would not exist... Many thanks Gary (RIP)

superb. I was looking for a replacement for the excellent Driftwood morse tutor (Windows phone) and this is as good, if not better. I got my can ticket many years ago, and like others, I went straight to hf phone. It's perfect to have a trainer in my pocket which can be used whenever I'm waiting for, or on a bus. My speed is coming up nicely. On my samsung galaxy a3 the keypresses are a little slow to be acknowledged but that's the pickiest thing I can find in an otherwise brilliant product.
doesn't actually teach you new letters in learn mode, it just moved through a sequence after I got the beginning ones of the koch option. you have to already know them before starting. also, extremely clunky app design. when I got a letter wrong, it would Continually think I was pressing the last letter I pressed. why doesnt it use the phone keyboard?
I enjoy this trainer's flexibility (speed, Farnsworth, tone). Still new using it, but I get frustrated by touching a character several times without my input being recognized; is there a sensitivity feature? (Moto x2)
Good fun. I have used CW for 50+ yrs and like to improve my speed for contests. The keyboard is not ideal on this phone but not a problem. I would like to get random call-signs sent like S55HH! This may do the job.
Pretty useless, Cant adjust the wpm above 5 words , And in qso mode it just repeats the same character over and over ... Shame as it could have been good ... Now deleted and looking for another CW app .... Glad it was free, Ide be well annoyed at it if ide had to pay for such an awfull app... GW0WVL
Lots of ways to use the app to work on Morse code. Advanced CWers can use it too.
Pretty cool idea. Works great and easy to use. Thank you!
nice app to teach morse code .. loads of settings to try. 73!
Great app to learn or refresh your morse skills
Good app, I just wish it worked in the background...
Love it! Best way to learn morse code!
Very good , i recomend it to my students . 73 de 4z1ar
Cracking app. Rob helped me a lot . new to Morse being a 2e0 bashing 7 MHz constant but lost in most qso transmissions.
I use this app a lot. It would be great if a 'hard letters' option existed, where those letters came up more often in the random letters.
Very nice app. Would be great if there was the option to have a timed session, and also to get feedback about the average response time. Would be nice to see if I'm improving!
Disappointed. Pretty unresponsive to keyboard input and clips some letters at the beginning
Basic, simple, effective.
This is a great app particularly for practicing qso on the go and when you don't have a radio handy.
Great app! I tried to learn morse code through the visual notation but it is way more effective to learn the sounds directly and this app is great for training this. Thanks!! The keyboard is a bit slow to react (in learn mode on Android).
Would have 5 stars if it could handle faster CW - seems to shorten the first leading dit above 25 wpm. The keyboard in learn mode seems a bit unresponsive on my Galaxy S7. Really like the simulated QSOs
FINALLY...I have been searching for YEARS.... just give me a morse code app that ... go figure.... wait for it.....that plays random morse code! Seems simple right? Thanks to the creater of this app! The learn mode is great too. Best of them all. Great job.
Very hard to use because must constantly scroll keyboard up and down, while "display" area needlessly wasteful of screen space. I actually do like the setup of this app. Increased to 3 stars because developer cares enough to look into this issue. Will leave a real review when the issue is fixed and I can really give it a fair try.
Nice interface. Great tone sound. But I can't change it from 5WPM. All the best advice for learning Morse code says that starting at anything lower than 13WPM is a waste of time and will simply teach you bad habits that you will have to unlearn later. If I could change the WPM and if it used the Koch method then this would be an easy 5-stars.
user interface is not very clear, a sounds is played, and then you guess until maybe you get it right... feedback isn't clear, uninstalling. edit: I do want an app that teaches by sound, not display since code is transmitted via audio, not display. Most apps show dots and dashes, which is probably the best way to handicap yourself for copy. I do like that the option to set the character speed. My issue is that there's just no teaching component; it's basically a test, not so much training.
