Radioddity GS-5B Software

The app connected very quickly when I first got the radio yesterday. It was working tonight and I made several channel additions. Now the Bluetooth will not connect. It just says updating for about 30 seconds and then a link comes up that says Update. The MAC of the radio shows on the iPhone screen. The MAC disappears when I turn Bluetooth off on the radio and reappears when I turn it back on. I rebooted my phone. I deleted the app and and reinstalled. Neither charged the behavior. Before tonight it was working but there were some minor issues. Now the app is unusable.

I REALLY like the radio- and being able to program it VERY quickly on the fly with my phone is awesome. BUT…. The app needs some more fine tuning.

Seems to be intuitive enough to get the job done. The ability to program the radio from my phone is very convenient indeed. Had to give it 4 stars because for some reason there is a bug that sets CTCSS Tx & Rx to 254.1 Hz. even though in the ‘codeplug’ it is showing as ‘OFF’ Easy enough to correct this in VFO mode directly from the keypad on the radio, however it really adds up in time when a user must go to EVERY channel and set this to ‘OFF’. I am running version 1.4 and would very much like to see this app polished up. Thanks to the developer for working on the bugs as they come up. It’s always a work in progress. I purchased this radio from radioddity mainly for the bluetooth programming and am enjoying the convenience. Also, running an iphone 7 plus. Would also like to see the option to add custom graphics on the bootup ‘splash’ (Switch on icon) Keep up the good work developers. 73
