Ham Radio

Several uses including SkyWarn storm spotting, Fox hunting and more. Will demonstrate at Ham club meeting. Would be even nicer if there was a way to easily automatically share among multiple spotter phones for multiple numbered or labeled targets during spotting events. APRS has something similar over radio, but not fully developed.

Really wish this was available for Android. Thanks!

I wish I had not wasted $7.99.

I would like an app that does what this one is supposed to do. This one doesn’t do what it is supposed to do. This app is wildly inaccurate. I have been testing in Utah desert with large distinct landforms, similar to monument valley, that should be easy to point at and take a bearing. The accuracy is so far off the app is useless. Also, the layout and procedure is unintuitive and the documentation is poor. When you do figure out how it is supposed to work you also figure out how poorly the layout supports the function. Finally, the developer does not respond to email questions regarding functionality. This app would be a disappointment if it was free. It is a bad joke at $7.99. I think a refund should be provided but the App Store says this app is not eligible for a refund.

Not intuitive

Not easy to use intuitively. I tried to confirm the location of a peak using my location and couldn't see how to do it.

Accurate!

It'd as accurate as the accuracy of the compass bearings

Just doesn’t work

We have tried and tried but the app always puts a coordinates of -1 and will not read the internal campus. I know it’s not as accurate as a real compass but even the built in compass gives a number other than -1.
