APRS Mobile

I’ve been using radio based APRS for several years now. I live in a semi remote area that covers the radio world just fine but for a bike or walking forget it. I downloaded the app,, setup was easy and it works like a charm. I thought it would chew my battery and data but it actually is pretty easy on both.I use an Iphone 6 on the Public Mobile sustem (Telus) Settings are easy to set via a menu and you can see yourself on the map. You will need to get a server number as you connect directly to the APRS -IS servers.. that can be done online or throgh an app.I have mine on smart beacon and it only uses a few meg of data in 2 hours.

This app doesn’t work!

I tried using all the features and functions on this app, it while it’s great for reporting my position it show me absolutely no one on the map at any time. This was NOT a cheap app. I want to try to the sport link to get support, it errors out… It makes me wonder where my money is going, and for what?

Save your money and go to something different…

Smartbeaconing doesn't appear to work

Since the entire app works on the smartbeaconing premise, for which this app doesn't appear to catch turns, your APRS tracks are spotty. Big, big, big disappointment with this app after using APRSdroid for years.

Updated Does work with iOS 11

Update 26 September 2017
Received note from ops that Apple was wrong. So, tried it today and DOES work on iOS 11. As such back to five stars.
————

Per iTunes this is a 32 bit program and will not work with iOS 11.
Tried going to developers webpage to see if they had plans to update but web page appears dead. Worked ok when in cellular range.

Response from developer

This is incorrect. The app is 64 bit and will continue to work no problem with iOS 11.

Great APRS app

I have been using this app for a few days and it works well. A beacon now button would be useful but not necessary. Just a great app for APRS.
