WSPR Watch version 4 is out

Timed to coincide with the release of iOS 17, WSPR Watch version 4 is now in the iOS App Store. It's a long overdue re-write of the app in the modern SwiftUI framework. The biggest change is on iPad which (I humbly think) looks great, particularly in dark mode:


There has been a bit of feedback about the changes and I'm working on a 4.1 release in the weeks ahead. My thanks, as always, to the dedicated testers and those that write in with suggestions and feedback.

Excellent, Peter! Love the tools to modify maps, analysis, etc.

One suggestion from a statistician: include the standard deviation in your analysis. An option for a “by band” set of results would be even better.

I really like wspr watch and certainly enjoy the new version. One thing that I am missing at the moment is the ability to transmit (unless I'm misunderstanding the new version which just says "not working" in the transmit section). I travel quite a lot and end up trying to operate from hotels under less than ideal conditions. I don't normally operate digital modes when I'm away but transmitting with wsprwatch is a great to quickly check out what might be possible as small changes to the setup in the hotel room can make big differences.

Anyway keep up the great work.

I'm a big fan of wspr watch and I'm certainly enjoying the new version.

I travel quite a lot and end up operating from hotels so I use Wspr Watch to see what might be possible from my setup as small changes to the configuration in a hotel room can have a big impact. I don't normally use digital modes when I'm away so this is a great way to see how effective (if at all) my setup is.

Keep up the good work - I'm also pleased that I found your blog - there is some very interesting material.
