Description
This App works with any FlexRadio firmware 1, 2 or 3, including the newest release
Official FlexRadio Systems® Client
SmartSDR is a full featured radio client that enables your iPad or iPhone to operate your FlexRadio device.
It is fully compatible to SmartSDR v1, v2 (including SmartLink) and v3 (including MultiFlex and SmartControl).
Please note: This App requires a FlexRadio Systems® Series-6000 Software Defined Radio (SDR) Device.
However, the App also contains a FlexRadio Simulator (Demo Mode) so you can try this App even without owning a FlexRadio. PLEASE NOTE: The Demo Mode audio is by far not as good as when connecting the App to a real FlexRadio. That quality is identical to SmartSDR for Windows.

■ Supports FT8 and FT4 (iPad and iPhone Max, Firmware 2 required)

Ratings and Reviews
Great app spoiled by selling as an in app purchase
My intention was to use this on my wife's iPad but I found out too late that Apple does not allow family sharing on in app purchases. So I either buy a new iPad or buy the program again :-(
It works very well on my iPhone 6s but of course it gives the battery a hammering so it only really has a novelty value. It needs an iPad for serious use.
It would have been better if the program was a paid app from the start, the free version is of little use to anyone anyway.

Amazing access to Flex radio
It took me some time to get the Mac iOS version of SmartSDR working properly on my MacBook Pro… not because of any problems with the App, it was more a case of me being a slow learner! Looking back it was pretty easy.
Having got the Mac version working and having familiarised myself with it I decided to try this version for the iPad. I had it working, completely interfaced with Flex 6400M and PGXL linear amplifier and operating G2YT remote from Asia within a few minutes. It’s very intuitive and Marcus has been amazingly responsive and helpful throughout.
Brilliant
Whilst I very much prefer using the full version of SSDR on a PC for all the extra integrations that can be done... Marcus has done a brilliant job with this iPad version and that means I can play radio from anywhere. It's feature rich and capable. Well recommended. Only thing I don't really like is the cost of the additional bells and whistles, it can end up costing quite a bit.
I'd like to see some other stuff in there... perhaps something like a CW decoder or some other data modes.
