NEW FAVE APP

This is the kind of app that Radio has needed for a LONG TIME!!! It’s probably my new favorite app. Makes it easy to use the data side of the radio for so much more.

Best APRS app

Messaging in one app and very streamlined making it easy to chase an Ota operator. Yes you have to pay to connect a radio but you get a week to try it out and see if you like it. The builders time isn’t free. He’s also very responsive for any support questions. Just give it a try. You’ll be hard pressed not to agree with me

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! Glad you are liking the app and feel free to reach out if you run into any issues!

Best APRS App yet

More features than all the rest. Built in BOTS so you don’t need to remember them all anymore. Simultaneous RF and IS. Tracing on the map and easy map casching. Love it.

Thank you very much! Glad you are liking the app!

Must subscribe to connect a radio - boo

Looks like it could be a banger of an app, but no thank you due to the $47.88 + tax /yr subscription necessary to be able to connect a radio and operate aprs over RF.

Response from developer

Sorry you feel that way! This app has costed me hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars per month to build and maintain (and that number is going to keep growing). I hope you can understand why it's not free.
