Pending Morse Elmer 1.7.1 Release - mighty bug fixes

After I release 1.7.0, I already had a list of bug fixes I wanted to address next. But this release goes way beyond that initial set of bug fixes. I ended up adding new (requested features) Reformatted the settings and documentation to make it more accessible to those just starting out using Morse Elmer to learn Morse code. Hopefully all of these changes will help the new users to the app and not piss off the established userbase. :D I still have a few other minor changes in the pipe line, but I think I'll wait to see what the reaction (if any) to these most recent changes.

Pending Morse Elmer 1.7.0 Release

 So it's been awhile, but I haven't forgotten about Morse Elmer and development continues just at a glacial pace.  While there's been two release since this blog was updated, you can check out the details in the app once it's released.  This 1.7.0 release contains several modernization updates that while not dramatically changing user experience improves the code base which makes it easier for me to maintain and make future releases.  

You'll notice changes to the Progress Tab graphing capability along with dramatically reformatted documentation in the Help Tab.   

There a couple of bug fixes, but the majority of bug fixes will be in the next point release.  As well as leveraging the new documentation implementation to provide offline .pdf versions as well as updating the documentation on this webpage.

I've gone through the last two years worth of emails from users and compiled a list of 11 potential issues and improvements I will investigate and include in the next release along with updates to the new documentation implementation. 

As always I appreciate everyone who takes the time to use Morse Elmer and I hope it continues to be a useful aid to those learning Morse Code.

Morse Elmer Version 1.5 Released to the App Store

This update is mostly a catch up release, UI tweaks and refactoring to work with the latest hardware and iOS releases. A few bug fixes thrown in, QSO UI layout should be better, iOS File support improved.




Check it out! Morse Elmer v1.5

Welcome New Users!

So after a long lull in activity Morse Elmer has been thrust into the lime light again. Welcome everyone that learned of Morse Elmer from the recent Ham Radio Crash Course YouTube Video While I'm thrilled this app has been exposed to new people trying to learn CW, I'm a bit mortified at the state you find the app in... I've allowed the app to languish for far too long. While it still accomplishes most of what it tries to do, it hasn't kept up with the times. I mentioned in my previous post from 2019 that I was working on a new version. This is true... I'm in the process of completely rewriting the app in Swift. Unfortunately this rewrite is going very slowly and I have a bunch of new users and an antiquated app in the app store. Fortunately I started updated the existing app over the Christmas break. I've made a lot of progress and I'm happy to report that I should have an updated version ready to release in the near future. This version will handle working on the latest hardware and I'll try to include the bug fixes for the most onerous issues that have been reported. Thanks again for trying his app out and please comment here with your experiences and issues.
