HF Weather Fax App Comments & Reviews
HF Weather Fax Positive Reviews
Fun appThis app is great for decoding NOAA faxes from coastal CG stations but also creates artistic images when attempting to decode from NOAA satellite transmissions.Version: 1.6
It works great!Just like other modes of downloading HF weather fax, reception is everything. This app is so uncomplicated! I had better luck using a pair of earphones lying near my iPad mic..Version: 1.6
Works greatJust remember the schedules are in UTC time, during summer that isn’t the same as nearby London time. Had me scratching my head but not any fault of this great app..Version: 1.6
HF Weather Fax app is a winnerJust purchased this app for my iPod Touch based on good results with the NAVTEX app. I use a very stable and sensitive general coverage receiver with a longwire antenna. As mentioned in the instructions on the website, a strong signal is necessary for a clear fax reception. Have used other weather fax programs with my laptop and receiver, and am impressed with the quality of the faxes this will capture. I would give this a five-star rating if you had included a tuning meter (showing the signal spectrum) similar to the NAVTEX app -- for fax this would be a great benefit to visualize how to tune your radio for the max signal peaks. Otherwise it will take a good deal of experimentation and may frustrate some users. Overall this is an excellent app. For radio enthusiasts Black Cat Systems has created some excellent products. Thanks!.Version: 1.2
Does what it says.This decodes HF FAX signals, hence the name. It will not do satellite images, nor does it claim to..Version: 1.6
Offshore Weather Fax RequiredI singlehand a small boat offshore. I needed access to weather information for my sail to Hawaii and this program, combined with a Sony 7600GR receiver and a cable or two, does the job. I am able to receive weather fax data and can plan my route accordingly. I have experience with the same companies version of this software for the Mac laptop and it is a bit better in having a choice between greyscale and black and white modes, but on the flip side the tuning window on the IPad version is better. The developers support is very prompt and responsive to questions. This software is solid, easy to use, the developer stands behind it, and renders what you need when and how you need it. I highly recommend it..Version: 1.3.1
WEFAX on your iPhoneWhile the screen of the iPhone is small, the Weather FAXs are readable and clear using pinch zoom. Using both FSK and SSB modes I was able to copy complete maps. The only downside us to access saved maps required you to interact with iTunes on a mac or PC. You cannot just email the maps nor Bluetooth print them directly from the iPhone..Version: 1.3.1
WonderfulWhat a surprise to get a weather map by setting the iPad next to the shortwave. I plan to use this onboard. Reduce hash by tuning the signal to the high end. The use of the buttons could be clearer. Still haven't seen the difference between -3 and +3. Great app. 4 stars because nobody is perfect..Version: 1.0.0
Does what it saysI love all of the black cat apps but this one is by far the most useful for me. I frequently use my grunding g4 and my iPad to download NOAA reports when I'm out of cell range for days at a time. As long as you can figure out how to get a good signal, this app does exactly what it promises for a fraction of the price of other hardware based systems..Version: 1.2.1
Sailor looking for ipad integrationNot bad. Got it working tonight with our ham radio. Used my phone headset and put the mic in front of ssb speaker. I received the wind and wave forecast map successfully. Now can you hook up my ipad to "winmore" so I get grib files?.Version: 1.3.1
Fun AppGot a Sony world band radio for Xmass. It's cool to see weather charts appear. Just neat to try something and learn about something new. It works very well. I achieved very ready B&W maps..Version: 1.2
Needs Apple Watch appPlease add support for Apple Watch..Version: 1.5.0
Worked perfectly.I set the iPad in front of the receiver speaker and it immediately and correctly decoded the wefax images..Version: 1.5.0
Love It!I'm a swl and I wanted to decode these weird crackling noises so I put my ssb switch on and decoded it!.Version: 1.3.1
AmazingUsing this as cruising. Works well..Version: 1.5.0
No complaints, Love it!If you have a shortwave receiver with SSB, this app is a great companion..Version: 1.4.0
Fantastic!This is an absolutely fantastic app. It is very simple and does exactly what it's supposed to do. At one point, I had seatty on my pc. It was a decent program, but the computer would interfere with many frequencies. This is not the case with iPad, so all freqs. are available. This app also comes with a full schedule of frequencies from all regions of the world. You can also save a fax if you choose. If you have a shortwave radio with SSB capabilities, this is a must get app..Version: 1.0.0
Excellent!I bought this after getting hooked on the PSK31 app and both work flawlessly. It's seriously cool how charts and images appear from odd radio sounds onto my iPad. I'm not a ham and wouldn't even call myself an amateur, but this app is wicked fun! My advice is to follow the same advice offered and use a good pair of headphones and place one side directly on the iPad mic. If you have a shortwave receiver with an upper side band setting and have never seen a weather chart decoded from sound coming out of your radio, get this app!.Version: 1.0.0
Excellent appThis is one of the best apps available for cruisers in need of NOAA forecasts. I use it frequently offshore and for passage planning. Highly recommended..Version: 1.3.1
Great!Using a Kaito 1103 radio and no connecting cable (just the iPad microphone), I’m getting clear weather fax reception even when the signal doesn’t sound great. Yesterday I managed to get good images from stations 1000, 2000, and 4000km away. I’ve ordered a cable just so I won’t have to listen to the radio while it’s receiving. The only annoyance is that some images are transmitted rotated by 90 degrees, but it’s easy to flick on the iPad screen rotation lock when viewing those..Version: 1.3.1
