## What is goTenna Pro?

The goTenna Pro app is a tactical situational awareness application that pairs with goTenna Pro and goTenna Pro X2 mesh networking radio devices to enable mission-critical communications completely independent of traditional cell, Wi-Fi, or satellite connectivity.

Users can download the goTenna Pro app to any iOS device, pair with a goTenna Pro or goTenna Pro X2 tactical radio, and then use the mobile device to communicate critical information like near real-time locations, share map markings, and send text messages while 100% off-grid. The app supports full interoperability with ATAK and the goTenna Android goTenna Pro app for seamless cross-platform mission coordination. goTenna Pro tactical radios have a 5W, tunable UHF/VHF output that can transmit critical data from your iOS device and also automatically act as relays that securely and anonymously “hop” messages across up to 6 devices to extend range.

### 1/5 — What happened GoTenna?

*2025-10-11*

I owned 8 of the first generation mesh sticks.  Seems GoTenna didn’t mind giving their customers the “stick”, by just moving on to “version your screwed 1.0”.  Old account: not recognized.  No response from company regarding questions via email.  Welcome to a new generation of service.  I.e.  give me your money, sit down. and shut up.  Money talks, and corporate arrogance is on display sometimes.

### 1/5 — Bad company

*2025-04-22*

They sold a lot of GoTennas then quit supporting them. Don’t trust them

### 1/5 — Contact site doesn’t even work

*2025-02-17*

Couldn’t figure out how to connect the items - no QR code.  And it asked me to log in but I don’t have an account yet and it didn’t give me a place to make one.   Tried to “contact” but form wouldn’t submit.

### 1/5 — Company drops Kickstarter Customers … buy with caution!!!

*2025-01-26*

As an Amateur Radio & National Park enthusiast & GoTenna Kickstarter … saddened to see that neither the older app or the newer app works with the v1 equipment.
Beware of company & upgrades.

### 1/5 — Not Compatible With Older Units

*2025-01-09*

This app does not work with the older blue/green goTenna sticks. My hardware is now useless to me without buying a new device. Going to move into Meshtastic devices instead.

### 1/5 — Hope not a waste

*2024-12-05*

I have the orange and purple go tennis sticks. There's no other writing there's a charging and a pull out. They are fully charged and the only app available is goTenna Pro and no way to register or scan a QR code or any item number to use. Hopefully the business can reach out and let all of us know how to use our old devices
