Ratings and Reviews
Surprisingly effective
We are using this app for monitoring our VHF from the cockpit, on a temporary basis whilst we await the Icom remote handset which is on slow back order.
I had expected this to be a bit of a gimmick, but it is surprisingly effective: clear although volume a little on the low side.
I wouldn’t use this on a permanent basis for monitoring since that requires it to be in the foreground on the phone, and that eats battery and means I can’t use the phone for anything else. But temporarily it’s fine.
It is also usable as a remote handset used elsewhere on the boat.
So, overall I am more impressed than I expected to be! Thanks Icom.
A little disappointed
I had hoped that this would allow remote control and monitoring of features such as horn / hailer, monitor GPS and AIS data and other features of the MC510 … however it is very basic and whilst it allows you to change channels and use the intercom, it falls far short of what it could do … so only 2/5 stars as it lacks so many features as a “companion app”
