App working well

I have been using this app for a while now. It’s been working well for me. My only complaint is sometimes the font is too small for me to read (like setting the beacon text). But regardless, whenever I need a quick APRS tracking, I use this. I definitely recommend this app.

Has potential but needs work

The get APRS PassCode link does not work in the app but got a passcode with Google. They need to add a smart beacon (only sends beacons when moving)

A#1

Beat APRS I have found that doesnt extort you for a "subscription" or cost an arm & leg.
I appreciate that its not loaded with bloatware "features" that I dont want and dont need.
Clean, smooth, efficient, and does exactly what it's supposed to for a modest price and without the "feature clutter" of some apps that try to be eveything to everyone.
All apps in the store should be like this one.
