Leave a Review RepeaterPhone
Great start, needs a few features
I really appreciate what the dev has done here. Until this, only the one (beta, buggy) app allows for a direct allstar node connection. Anyway, this one works! Some wants in a perfect world: The watch app lacks the ability to hear through its speaker, and is merely a simple one-way PTT for the phone(Apple restriction). It'd be cool have more sorting for the large repeater list, and a last heard map/list which would be really useful. Another feature would be listen-only mode or just a dialer where I can connect to ASL nodes with allstar's codes like *72 etc... most of the nodes I regularly connect to like WinSys and hubnet error out with "Rejected: No authority found". I think the hub owners have blocked this type of client (and not DVSwitch which is weird). In any case, great effort by the dev and looking forward to seeing what it can become.
Update after reading dev response: most of the issues here are Apple's restrictions. Oh, Apple.Show lessAeroD
Developer Response
A couple clarifications: Apple does not provide developers with a way to access a live audio stream from an Apple Watch. The apps that appear to do that, like Apple's Walkie-Talkie app actually make a recording and send the recording. This isn't really workable in a VoIP situation like AllStar. The "No authority found" messages are because some node admins have decided to ban the "allstar-public" form of authentication. I would encourage you to email me your other suggestions at wbustraan@gmail.com so that I can get a better understanding of what you are looking for.Great start, needs some important features

Works seamlessly with superb audio quality. Way faster and easier than other Ham App for RoIP.Scotsman_from_the_Hill
