Also like that it is updated with HD Retina graphics. This guy is working on some cool projects. Check out his site. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-10-21* I found it very easy to use and setup.... I like it!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-10-01* It is so convenient to use this app to change reflectors I may get lazy ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-08-07, version 1.1* So easy to use. Make sure your phone is in the same wifi router as your DVMega, input the correct IP address for it and you are away. Much easier than fiddling with the controls on the radio. 73. ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2015-02-22, version 1.1* Thank you for a very good app which has made my use of D star far more easier. I have a few suggestions for future releases which would make it even more useful. A button next to the reflector or Repeater you have put into the memory which does the following. Shows you who is online on that Repeater which is readily available on the Internet. A button which will transfer the repeater or reflector you are on which you have selected using the sliders at the top to a memory channel. The App is perfect as it is. just a few ideas to make it even better. A list of the most used reflectors or repeaters which can be calculated from the who's online list. This could be calculated from the whole of the day or previous week. Thanks for making dstar easier. Chris andrews 2E0UKH Might be an idea to make a paid version with extra features on such as these ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2015-01-11* Does as it says! Finally for iOS.

Very easy to set up (10 seconds). Easily changes the reflector my Raspberry Pi DVMEGA is linked to from my iPad / iPhone. One recommendation: would be great if you could automatically add to the reflector lost on the right hand side from the entry on left without having to retype. 73 KM4RZT ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2024-12-10, version 1.3* I use this app with my PI-Star - very handy to allow reflector switching when the Pi-Star dashboard isn’t readily available. I’ve used it for a few years now and now problems. ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2020-12-07* Have been a Ham for 40+ years and LOVE DSTAR.

THANK YOU! ### 5/5 — Superb App *2018-12-23, version 1.3* This App is really good and I have to give praise to David, the author for helping me understand getting it setup. I am new to these new digital modes after 20 years absence to the hobby so I was a little "green"! ### 5/5 — Terrific! *2018-06-15* Great way to control Pi-Star from your phone.
