Thisisbecause if you learn by using dot and dash charts, youwillprobably not progress above 10 words per minute. This isbecauseyou have to translate the sound to dots and dashes and thenthealphabet character received. Trust me! The author of this appuseddot and dash charts and had to unlearn them beforeactuallylearning Morse code by ear. Learn by listening. Morse codeshouldnever be learned visually.This app will work with 3G devices up to about 20 wordsperminute, but performs better on 4G devices.
