As for any login process, this requires the user to provide login parameters through the App configuration and clearly provides a method to allow the operator to judge whether to allow auto logins through secure socket services or force operator intervention during each login. Additionally, the App expects the operator to configure the device's general OS security policy such as using proper security policy to secure a smart device with a Passcode. Additionally, all current and future versions of this App require two-factor authentication and user provided at runtime PIN to generate an encrypting/decrypting key of all sensitive data stored within the App secure storage. ### 1/5 — Security Risk logs you in places automatically! *2025-12-03* Never been,never gave any info to some of the built in apps. I found I was logged into some and I did not use these apps! It automatically sets up key passwords and when you turn on the app you are logged in! **Developer response:** Automatic login only functions when the operator configures auto login through the Tools>Tools menu. Additionally, login can be setup to force login configuration at every runtime. Please take time to explore App configuration. Try the new release 6.3.4, we've added encrypted secure storage, On-Device Authentication and Two-Factor Authentication for storage and app access protection. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-01-21* Requires email sign in each time would not send 2 step verification code. **Developer response:** There is no email requirement for any feature other than requesting an AIM token. The operator must remember the token. Please take time to learn the Tools>Tools menu feature. Try the new release 6.3.4, we've added encrypted secure storage, On-Device Authentication and Two-Factor Authentication for storage and app access protection. ### 5/5 — Aim *2024-11-21* Chris hi Im hving issues w aim. I forgot my log in info. How can I reset? Thanku ### 5/5 — Great Program *2024-03-01* Well thought out program. Lots of useful weblinks that most hams use all in one package. Not sure why there is not many more views. I use it on MacOs and iOS works great. March-1-2024 ### 4/5 — Love it! *2023-12-25* Very handy app. It’s probably nicer for me than using netlogger except one thing. AIM. Also only better considering it can be used on iOS as an app. With netlogger had an app. I’d love to be able to use AIM but the instructions aren’t clear on how and the netlogger team is unaware of a “key” needed. They are also unaware of this app. If I am missing something, I’d like to know what it is. Thank you for this fine app. **Developer response:** Please email chrislrobsun@gmail.com directly if you need help. However, the app has an auto key request feature that should make it easy to request and obtain a key. ### 3/5 — Good app, but… *2023-05-09* This a great app that definitely fills a void left by Netlogger, however… they author really need to lose the background map as it’s very distracting and can actually make it hard to read… for that reason, 3 stars only. **Developer response:** You can use Tools>Setting menu to configure any type of background you wish. The new releases use a color background as the default now. So play around with the Tools menu to customize the app to your own taste. ### 5/5 — Very Handy App *2020-11-29* What a great improvement over the early version, Great job Chris. Really like the split screen and the web access. Thanks for taking the time to write this very useful app. ## Frequently asked questions about On ### What is On-Air Net Scraper used for?
