### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-12-27, version 1.5*

Just shows server offline - does not work

### 1/5 — Used to work!

*2018-07-27, version 1.5*

As regards tracking all I get these days is “server may be offline please try later” - for weeks! Not much use!

### 1/5 — Don’t Buy If You Don’t Live In The UK!!!

*2018-06-14*

This app is basically useless if you don’t live in the UK. Sure you can look up people by their DMR-MARC ID, but if you want to use the repeater map for areas outside the UK don’t buy this app. 

I can easily look up anyone’s DMR ID from a variety of sites that work perfectly well when accessed via a browser. 

In reality, it shouldn’t be listed in the US App Store to begin with. 

Save yourself the trouble and don’t buy it!

### 1/5 — Ok

*2018-04-15, version 1.4*

App is ok if you are an amateur in GB does not locate information from Canada
Works as it should for hams in Europe

### 1/5 — Hmm don’t waste time

*2018-04-09*

Don’t know why but the reviews didn’t show up for this app. Like everyone else has stated this only works for UK, nothing for the US. This in a sense is a scam will be asking for a refund.

### 1/5 — Mis leading

*2017-05-22*

To the developer, it's not the fact that you got .99$ from me it's the fact that you don't state anywhere that it's just for the U.K.

### 1/5 — No US support

*2017-01-28*

Useless for any Ham User in the United States. Needs US support

### 1/5 — Lacking United States support

*2016-09-09*

This application is nice but it's lacking United States support. It does not support the DMR repeaters here in the US.

### 1/5 — Why only UK map?

*2015-06-29*

That will teach me not to read the details before downloading an app.  Only displays UK repeaters.  Hope there is an update to include more of the world.

### 1/5 — Nice idea....

*2015-06-07, version 1.0*

...but the data shown is over 48hrs out of date so is not really any use.

### 1/5 — Total Ripoff

*2025-06-13*

Doesn’t work - continuous Server may not be operating - only for the UK. Misleading!!!!😡

### 1/5 — KR4avc

*2025-02-01*

App does not work , server is never connected to update the repeater database. Nothing else can work without it.

### 1/5 — Do not buy it don’t work

*2023-10-27, version 1.5*

It simply doesn’t work and got charged 99p to use up  space on my phone!!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this

*2022-08-29, version 1.5*

I’ve just bought this and it crashes, doesn’t update, my local DMR repeater is not on here and can’t find myself in the user database. I had my DMR ID for over 6 months, and I’m not in the database of this app. DONT BUY THIS!!!!

### 1/5 — DMR

*2022-01-22, version 1.5*

This app dose not work

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-09-11, version 1.5*

Not worth it useless should be taken off the Applications list

### 1/5 — Oh dear...

*2021-04-17, version 1.5*

Unfortunately this app appears to have died...

### 1/5 — Not particularly good.

*2020-08-17, version 1.5*

Most features either say ‘server offline’ or the crash the App. ( Unusable on the latest iOS on iPhone XR )

### 1/5 — Absolute Shocker

*2020-04-15, version 1.5*

Crashes when selecting ‘Users’.  Fails to list details of users accessing Phoenix repeaters.  Cannot find my DMR ID in ‘last heard’.  Basically this app does not work - don’t waste your money on it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-02-07, version 1.5*

Server down. Maybe it works if you’re in UK.

### 5/5 — Invaluable app if you’re using DMR in the UK

*2016-05-10, version 1.4*

Brilliant app for finding out where repeaters are and who is using them. Author has been quick to update when one of the websites was pulled a while back to get data from a different source, very pleased.

### 5/5 — Very awesome!

*2016-01-02*

I am just getting back into tinkering with DMR. It's been a few years since my id was issued and I wanted to program a mototrbo portable today. 

What is my Id? Panic.

Boom this app had it!

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2019-09-01, version 1.5*

Keeps crashing on DMR users if the database is updated. Restore user database then ok, update user database then crashes. iOS 12.4.1 on iPhone XR.

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2019-01-30, version 1.5*

Mine keeps crashing when select DMR Users option, dropping back to home screen on iPhone 6s.

Also, keeps saying “server not available please try later” when starting, not sure why this is or why.

Nice app but doesn’t appear as fluid or ‘intuitive’ as some others I use.

### 3/5 — mmmm

*2019-01-09, version 1.5*

Just got the app, it crashes whenever I select the DMR Users option.

### 3/5 — DMR Users Tab

*2018-06-19, version 1.5*

When  I select the users tab the app crashes,  please can you fix this as I find the app helpful as I’m new to DMR. Raj

### 2/5 — Needs updating

*2020-03-27, version 1.5*

This app used to work well but the latest version seems to lag by about 6 hours on the Last Heard screen and the user database does not seem to have been updated in the last 18 months as only my callsign issued 3 years ago is on there (the next two are not).

It also give the “server may be offline” message all the time so I can’t check on when a call sign was last heard.

### 2/5 — No internet when in a wi-if zone

*2018-07-22, version 1.5*

Just shows updating screen.

### 2/5 — GB7AS

*2017-06-12, version 1.4*

Appears not to show this repeater? Can we have an update please ??

### 2/5 — Not finished!

*2015-11-01, version 1.0*

This App has been rushed to the market and it shows. The Manchester Repeater (GB7MN) is missing. The data feed is 24 to 48 hours out of date so completely useless. Clicking on a repeater on the map needs to show all the details such as Freq, TGs etc.. It's ok as a Beta version but in that case it should be free at this stage.
