All Versions of aprs.fi

2.5.3

February 20, 2024

• Enabled new translation for Chinese - Traditional, and updated Romanian translation. Thank you, contributors! • Custom notification sound for incoming messages. • Updated aprs-deviceid database for local device identification for packets received from a TNC, including some new radios. • Some internal enhancements which should not, in theory, have any visible side effects.
More

2.5.2

February 5, 2024

• Message mass deletion actually works again! • Improved message mass deletion speed (a whole lot, actually). • Avoid accidentally fetching back deleted messages from the backend after app restart. • Fixed outgoing "ack" acknowledgement message format when acking a message with a "replyack"-style message identifier. • Improved content refreshing in the message threads list view when receiving new messages. • Show message timestamp in a message thread view.
More

2.5.1

January 31, 2024

• Display time/date of the latest message in the message threads view. • Greatly improved message notification throughput and latency in the aprs.fi backend (affecting older application versions too). • Improved error handling for a few network connections. • Updates in translations: Catalan, Portuguese, Dutch (Thank you!)
More

2.5.0

January 9, 2024

• Added a search feature for message threads. Allows searching by callsign and contents of the latest message. • Use the Edit mode to select multiple message threads, and then use the Trash can button to delete them all. Slide two fingers to quickly select a range of threads. • In Edit Mode, you can also use Search to find all "HOTG" APRS Thursday threads, use the Select All button to select all found threads, and then delete them with the Trash can button. • The station information view broke on iPads in 2.4.2 - fixed it!
More

2.4.3

January 4, 2024

• Enabled password manager/shared password support with the website and app login/signup views. • Localisation updates: NL, PT, JP. • Fixed a fairly rare crash in target data caching. • Remastered embedded photos to reduce application size by 1-3 MB depending on device type - and improved looks, too.
More

2.4.2

January 1, 2024

• New Romanian translation! • Added a proper message details view for transmitted messages. • A few localisation updates here and there. • Use localised text for message delivery status. • Framework updates. • Fixed a couple of smaller bugs.
More

2.4.1

February 8, 2023

• Login status is refreshed more often - email validation status should be updated quicker after clicking that weird link in your email. • Fixed a couple of rare crashes which a few users experienced. • Show a scale view on the map. • Improve timing of some scheduled events like beaconing. • Updates to frameworks, rebuilt for iOS 16.
More

2.4.0

August 14, 2022

• Favourite stations can be starred in the station details view, after which they will appear in the Favourites list in the search view. They'll also magically synchronise with multiple devices, as well as the aprs.fi web site - tap the "star" button on the right edge of the map view! When using two devices at the same time, it may take a short while for the synchronisation to happen both ways. • The map should now restore to the previous view more reliably. There was a bug where the last view (visible area & map type) were sometimes not stored, if you visited the app and only viewed non-map views, and the app was terminated by iOS in the background. • Localisation updates! Plenty of new translations from many contributors. Thank you!
More

2.3.2

November 17, 2021

• Graphs refresh automatically every 30 seconds, and when reopening the app • Localisation updates: Catalan. Thank you, it is 100% complete! • Improved iOS 15 support • Minimum supported iOS version is now 12.4 • Fixes for messaging functionality on iOS 12 and small displays • Updated APRS device model identification database • Fixed a crash when trying to open message details view (long press a Message, select Details) • A rather big bunch of under-the-hood improvements which are not visible, but needed to be done
More

2.3.1

August 6, 2021

This version improves offline behaviour and fixes a few bugs. • Improved Extra Features subscription handling during offline use. • Map view: Make it possible to dismiss and hide error messages, such as the error message about no network. It got a bit silly in the long term when using the app offline for a longer while. Tap the error message and select "Dismiss" to make it go away! • Replaced alert popup views with a new pretty popup in many places to remove a deprecated UI component. • Fixed a bug where the app would crash when receiving a packet with a short destination callsign from a TNC. The Device Identification code got a bit upset about it. • Messaging: Show a correct "not logged in" error in case of "bad callsign" if not logged in. An initial login is required to create and synchronise callsigns and profiles; after that messaging will still work offline as before. • Tons of updates in translations: German, Icelandic, Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch, Simplified Chinese. Thank you to everyone who helped! This will be the last version which supports iOS 11 - in case you have one of the two devices out there with iOS 11, please look into upgrading. Thanks!

Reviews of aprs.fi

  • Overall way too limited for 7 dollars

    This app is far too limited for the upfront price. To unlock much of the functionality, you’ll be prompted to pay a subscription. Most frustrating, why can I only see 3 hours of tracks in a paid app without a sub. Just use the website. Too much paywall nickle and dime here.
  • looks good make an apple watch mini-port pls

    I am just beginning my experimentation with APRS, and this app looks at least as good as any of the rest but if you could add an apple watch app, or mini-app, companion for the phone, that would be cool.
  • An Essential iOS App for Hams

    If you have a MobiLink TNC and an iPhone, this app is a no brainer. I’ve used it on road trips, SOTA activations, and even to check into Winlink Wednesday when I couldn’t hit a Winlink gateway. Would love to see offline maps in a future update.
