RadioMail is a modern Winlink client for iOS. It is designed to provide a beautiful and intuitive experience for sending and receiving emails via the Winlink network. Messages can be addressed to any internet email recipients as well as other Winlink users.
Winlink itself is a global network of amateur radio and authorized government stations that provide worldwide radio email using radio pathways where the internet is not present. The system is operated by licensed radio amateur volunteers. It supports email with attachments, position reporting, and is well-known for its role in interoperable emergency and disaster relief communications.
A valid amateur radio license is required to use this app.
As ARES EC providing Emcomm to a community of 600,000 people, I've always wanted to be able to use Winlink on my iPhone and iPad and now I can. Telnet connections are easy, and can even use a connection to your radio to send via RF. And unlike many other Amateur Radio apps, this one looks and works beautifully!

I have just installed RadioMail on my iPhone and sent some test messages and position reports. It works great and it is easy to use and configure. I expect to use this application frequently from now on and to use it with my Mobilinkd TNC3 and my handheld. 73 de LA2RL

I've been using this app several times per day for about a month. I love it. It works as described and plays well with WinLink and APRSLink.

I have participated in the beta testing for RadioMail and found it to be the best winlink client yet. I have used winlink in windows, Pat on Linux, and WoAD on Android and none are as easy to use as RadioMail. Thanks for getting this out.

For deployed teams in remote locations and leads in less remote spots, this should prove invaluable. Excited to do more testing with the app.

A beautiful and useful app for the ham radio community. Thanks for putting thought into the design elements.

Now my iPhone 8+, FT-5D, and Mobilinkd TNC3 work together with Radiomail to connect me to Winlink. Loving the app.

I have been waiting for a program like this for a very long time. Winlink on a IOS device!!! Great job!!!

Works as expected, easy to configure, and does run well on older iPads as well. Will be great tool for use at evacuation shelter or other gatherings that need basic Comms with a ton of equipment to set up. Well worth the cost.

Being able to send and receive Winlink messages directly from my phone has been a huge help. The app is reliable and works seamlessly with Winlink, making it easy to stay connected even when I'm away from my computer.

Finally some ham radio apps for iOS. And it works so well. Please continue make ham apps for iOS.

This app vastly exceeded my expectations. It connected to Mobilinkd right out of the box, with respectable speeds for AX.25 packets. The interface is clean, simple, and intuitive. It does one thing — Winlink email — without getting in the way of itself with bloat. A truly fantastic app. Now, if we can just convince the authors to create a nice WSPR and FT8 companion they'd completely remake QRP and mobile amateur radio.

Being the first and only iPhone Winlink app, I don't think any other version is necessary. This is by far the best! Thank you for sharing your incredible coding and app building skills!

This has everything you need. Attractive clean design. I was up and running in minutes, even on RF with TNC modem. Well worth the price, and appreciate the forms add-on. Fine work Georges.
