Works well, very convenient
I downloaded this app on my iPhone 13 to use with a Radioddity mobile ham rig. It installed fine, paired easily and stayed paired, and allowed me all the access I needed to upload repeater frequencies, set up APRS, and operate the radio. Some of the menu settings are obscure, but overall this app was easy to use and operating my rig by my iPhone was great. (Note — the iPhone version doesn’t let you actually talk or listen — you still need the mic for that!)

Good But Has Some Issues
This app is quite good and does the vast majority of things I want it to do. Issues such as no obvious way to edit a group name is annoying. The APRS & messaging sections in the app are again annoyingly confusing. It was easier to use the handset to get basic APRS working. There seems to be no obvious way to export a group if you want to use it on another VGC device. Good things are the ease of entering repeater details and updating firmware.

Love how it work
Love how the app work. One suggestion. Can you please add CarPlay to the app. If that is costly, you can add a pay version that has CarPlay. That way we can operate on a big screen easily.
Not working
After working for a while after an IPhone update it is not pairing anymore AND the radio memory channels have been erased making the radio as good as a brick. Do NOT buy it!!
Okay - needs serious improvement with Radio Firmware updates though
As of May 15, 2026 my VR-N76 is on firmware 0.8.8
Per VGC’s website, there is updated firmware as of January 29, 2026
When I connect my radio to my phone, open the app, and navigate to the firmware section I see 0.8.8. If I then tap the Firmware button (the prompt to update firmware), I get a notification saying “Is up to date.”
Well… no it’s not. I want to update my firmware due to a persistent bug on my radio, but this app is not allowing me to update it.
