### 1/5 — Inoperative app

*2024-02-11*

I have not been able to get this to work. The app is supposed to read a QR code provided by the API key generator on the Brandmeister website. The app reads the code, but does not enter it to connect the app to your Brandmeister-capable hotspot. The app continuously loops instead. Until the author correct this problem, the app is completely useless.

### 1/5 — Please update your app

*2024-01-29*

Can’t scan QR because it never tries to use the camera. Can’t paste the key because there is no way to get past the QR scan option.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything.

*2024-01-26*

This app is dead and should be removed from the App Store. It does absolutely nothing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything.

*2023-12-02*

I created an API when I installed this app, but it doesn’t do anything. Just sits there trying to load data but never does.

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2023-08-23*

Will this problem ever get fixed ?

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-07-30*

I try to use before new update and works so really nice. After the update no matter try and scan the BM API Key do not work any more. An useless app.

### 1/5 — Still not updated

*2023-03-28, version 1.2.2*

Still not updated after BM changed their API. Doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-01-08, version 1.2.2*

After entering the API all I get is a spinning wheel.

### 1/5 — Not working

### 1/5 — Spinning wheel

### 5/5 — Not working - waiting for the next update

*2022-09-16, version 1.2.2*

I think that Brandmiester changed their API and you are working on updating this app. After I scan the API key, I just get an empty dashboard with a circle thing underneath indicating that it’s trying to load. I’ll be waiting as patiently as I can for the update.

Thanks!

### 3/5 — Problemas

*2022-09-01, version 1.2.2*

David, el App estuvo trabajando bien por casi 2 meses, ahora no me muestra los TG que están en uso estáticos o dinámicos. La pregunta es si hubo algún cambio que afectó el funcionamiento. Es un app muy necesario para todos los que tenemos nodos o repetidores y ver los TG en uso, cosa que ahora no muestra. Muchas gracias. Rubens/ KA6VHA - LU5FAP

Now is no longer working 

??????

**Developer response:** Si, BrandMeister hizo cambios en la API, ya estoy trabajando en la nueva versión, en un par de semanas estará lista.

### 2/5 — App not functioning

*2023-05-25*

I followed the procedure to enable, it went to a page with my call sign at the top and a spinning icon showing it trying to load but nothing. It just hangs there. My email is good on qrz.com

### 2/5 — broken, BM has new API

*2022-12-29, version 1.2.2*

used to work great but now broken, probably due to new API, created new api key for app, doesn’t work.
