Owned for years
This is would be a 5 star app if it were updated to maintain compatibility with iOS.
* It doesn’t work in the background anymore.
* The microphone-based packet decoding essentially doesn’t work with any consistency.
* Can’t easily beacon; aside from adjusting the interval
This app is **so** close to excellence, but misses the mark year after year.

Fantastic
Coming from Android, this app does everything that APRSDroid did for me. I would highly recommend it! It needs to be better advertised!
Works with TH-D75
I tried this program out years ago but shifted to just using APRS.FI instead. But I recently picked up a Kenwood TH-D75 HT and BB link Bluetooth translator. Pocket Packet will communicate with KISS Bluetooth modems with the BB Link dongle just fine.
Amazing App
Brilliant app for going out portable! Keep up the good work

Mac mini M2 with B.B.Link + TH-D74 (Kiss mode)
I was able to connect my Mac mini M2 with B.B.Link + TH-D74 (Kiss mode) without any problems. I was able to send and receive messages via RF. It's great.
Great App
Best APRS option for APRS, and maybe the only proper audio modem.
PocketPacket
1200 baud VHF packet client. Works with a radio with the. Phone’s speaker and mic, and/or the internet (aprs-is). No 300bd, though.. Can 300bd be built in?
Good app for APRS
If it could do the 300 baud and that would be awesome for HF APRS while just use the audio cable connect to station then VOX out for TX
Transmits constantly despite frequency setting
Seemed like a full-featured APRS client but it’s hard to get into those features when I’m constantly having to disconnect from my radio because it transmits constantly, regardless of the radio’s VOX sensitivity. Even when the audio modem is disabled it transmits. It also monopolizes the microphone, even when backgrounded. I would normally contact the developer about these issues, but they don’t provide any means to do so.

Great APRS app!
Still one of my favorite APRS apps!
Would be nice if it had the ability to have the app keep running and beacons while in the background and while the iPhone is asleep.
Please add 300 baud for HF APRS.
It would also be cool if this app could act as a digipeater & iGate when connected to a ham radio.

Nach wie vor: beste APRS App
Funktioniert nach Jahren immer noch topp!
Didn’t work
Didn’t work on my iPhone 7. I really liked for this to work. Wouldn’t show up on APRS.fi ...If you are interested in sending texts or messages buy a real TNC or radio equipped for APRS.
Simple, functional, effective
The application is intuitive, easy to configure and works as advertised. The offline mode via the audio modem works very well. I’m able to receive APRS packets from a number of nodes several miles away with my HT hooked up to my iPhone.
There does however seem to be a glitch when viewing the raw packet data in the “Packet Flow” option. The raw packet data shows up blank for some reason. If that bug is fixed this is easily five stars.

Who knows?
Apples have always had a problem connecting to bluetooth devices. So if i can’t connect to device it is difficult to evaluate the usefulness of the program.
does not support dark mode
messages are unreadable and ui is semi broken, icons are too low resolution.
please update to comply with apple guidelines

No Mic - unable to hear packets
Until Antony releases a new version, wait. Any recent iPhone and iOS won’t work as expected. The app fails to request the microphone privilege and the app is then unable to receive transmissions. WiFi/Cellular data parts work fine thru aprs.fi but if you want it to work with your radio you’ll be out of luck. Antony, if you are listening, we await your update. Happy to change the review to 5 stars then...

APRS Works Awesome
I’ve been using various phone based APRS apps and am very happy with Pocket Packet. The app does everything I’d expect from a phone based app. It allows message delivery between SSIDs and will receive messages from RF SSIDs going through the APRS-IS network. I guess some folks might want to have it act as a KISS TNC but that is not my expectation for this app.

Wasted money on an app that freezes!!
Want my money back. Wasted time and money for an app that doesn’t work and freezes up
