Best APRS App Hands Down

After searching for a while for a good mobile APRS app I came across this which is hands down the best made ever. Amazing customer support aswell, highly recommend the yearly payment, absolutely worth it.

Getting the most of APRS

The first app I’ve used that not only helps me feel confident that I’m taking full advantage of all the cool APRS functionality, but also helps me understand how it works as I used it.

Best In Class

I'm a long time APRS user, and this is a fantastic app that works great for a first timer as well as a seasoned operator with multiple radios and beacons.

Trial

I’m ok with gating features behind a paywall but I don’t like having to commit to future charges during setup while I’m still evaluating. Uninstalling.
