### 1/5 — Ripoff

Get it online free just google it

### 1/5 — Don’t use this app

You can get your APRS passcode for free online.

### 1/5 — Why to pay for that?

*2018-01-04*

I can't believe that someone pays to get a APRS passcode. Send me an email and I'll give you it for free. PU2PYC

### 5/5 — It works great

*2017-05-29*

I just typed in my callsign and I retrieved the passcode to use in APRS. I tested the passcode with desktop APRS and it worked just fine. 73!

### 1/5 — Does it really work?

*2017-04-19*

Type in your call sign and pay 99 cents to get your passcode. I'm not paying even 5 cents without knowing how they have access to retrieve a passcode. Doubt it actually even works. I uninstalled it.
