Not worth it

Costs too much money. Not even real radio. I was expecting it to be on par with real ham radio but not even close. Also, they listen in on your conversation and they would block you if you talk about something that they deem is inappropriate, and it is not even the case. Don’t bother with this make believe crap. Get a real radio.

Network Problems Disconnected

It looks good but after 10 seconds I get an error saying ‘Network Problems Disconnected. I’ve downloaded my version ‘IPhone 8-plus with a 5g connection. Not sure what to do.

Do not sign up for a subscription

You will never be able to cancel. I signed up in 2012 and canceled my subscription. In 2021 I received notification from PayPal that I paid for this subscription again but I did not authorize it. I disputed with Paypal but they sided with this company. I then asked for a refund from the company explaining I haven’t used this product since 2012. They said I must produce a cancellation ticket. I told them I don’t have it. They told me to take responsibility and admit I never cancelled the product. They also told me that they have written off the interest. Interest??
I told them to send me log in info so I can go in and cancel. I am still awaiting the info.
Horrible customer service!!!!! Use at your own risk.

Not worth the money

Not worth the money.
Not true ham radio.

DONT PURCHASE SUBSCRIPTION

This app was wayyyy better about 4 years ago. Completely not worth it anymore. No ones ever really on it. It’s worth the free trial to play for a few day’s but that’s it. SHOULD ONLY BE A ONE TIME PAYMENT NOT SUBSCRIPTION. It’s a rip off. Not to mention the fact as an actual licensed ham operator this is not on real ham bands. It’s simulated to act like it which was cool. But don’t be fooled this is not real HAM BAND frequencies.
