I took PoC to mean "Proof of Concept" because that's what this is. I love the idea and like you said, great job on the hardware. The software was clearly developed by hardware engineers or rookie developers. It should be an alpha version and I'm actually surprised this got App Store approval.

If this company put experienced app developers (detail oriented) on the software side of this, it could be a solid product. Hey TIDRadio, hire some real app developers (I am one) and make the app as good as the hardware. Now, I have to run, gotta tune in Tokyo on my tiddy radio.

I really enjoy your videos. They are always helpful and informative. In this case I was thinking about buying this, but after your review I think I'll wait a bit!

Hi Friend, Thank you for your serious comments and videos. We have received your feedback. We will discuss to make better improvements to the software. Yes, we have been listening to every user's voice to make us better. Thank you again!

This is a great little tool to keep in your car/rig for on the fly programming. My buddy and I have one, great for programming the 5r when you are in the middle of the woods and need to make a change w/o having to use the cumbersome on radio programming buttons.

The app is def not intuitive. My guess is that this is a very small dev team, maybe even one developer. They need to prioritize and figure out what their MVP features really need to be and iterate slowly. Focus on the function 1st then worry about the social media aspect of it, if at all. Hope the PO is watching and reading the comments.

I have a? Can you use this to program a Baofeng 15-pro GMRS Radio. Thanks

[bocantrell]

Ive bought two of these tradh things cant get either one to read during programming

Can you edit frequency range up to 700/800 mhz range like chirp?

Screw the ham radio and gmrs I use the five license-free Murs channels with these radios and that's all I do the rest I do for receive only

To the update on my transmitter now will not connect to my Bluetooth phone no more try to reinstall it says this version is not compatible for my Android phone when it has been cannot re-download that app odmaster says it's not compatible with my device when it has been for a while cannot reconnect

Will this work without internet ? We need something to program in the field when everything is out... Don't like Chirp Thanks..

I don't like that this app wants your precise location and network access. Who knows what backdoors this chinese app is allowing on your phone.

This device is garbage...at least the Odmaster software is. It corrupts the CTCSS tones on my two BF-F8HP radios requiring full reset to restore function. The social aspects of the software make it super annoying. I recommend sticking with Chirp. Also, I was just blown off by both Tidradio and Odmaster's lousy support.
