The attention to detail on this app and its layout are second to none. Thank you for your efforts.

PulseModem A

It used to work after this update it is broken

Fun App to Experience APRS ☝️😎🏄‍♂️

While it is not the equal of a
$700+ Kenwood HT it is a fun way to experience APRS
either through an inexpensive plain vanilla HT
or directly into the APRS Internet Network.

Intuitive

Intuitive and fun

最大的优点是免费

正如标题所说的那样,这款软件最大的优点是免费。

No genera bien los paquetes

Da igual por RF que por Network (aprs-is), los paquetes se generan de forma incorrecta y no llegan al destino

Excelente

Aplicación APRS que te permite emitir tu posición vía web o reproduce el packet ax.25 en audio para emitirlo por RF desde el micro . También tiene la opción de decodificarlo vía audio.

Good but stops working when phone locks

Good program but stops decoding feeds when phone locks. Needs a o be able to Background App Refresh.

Meh

TCP/IP works fine. However the RF modem being the lackluster flagship feature stinks. TX works great but RX doesn’t.

Perfect for APRS!

This app is great for when you need aprs in a pinch. I've used this app for a few years now and had great success. You don't need an expensive bluetooth TNC, you just need your radio and your iPhone. Hold your radio microphone to the upper speaker on your iPhone and hit transmit and you're set. Perfect for what I wanted. Thanks!

Good

Not a bad app but I dumped it for one that will beacon. If this one beacons I wasnt able to find out how to find that option. I prefer one that will beacon my location at intervals VS me having to tap a green bar every 10 minutes.

But other than that the app was decent. Seemed to work as promised.

The newest version 2 has auto beacon features now, perfect for you on the move. Try it it's free.

TX is ok, no RX messages when using RF

The TX functionality seems to work, other apps can decode the AX.25 generated by this app. However, “Pulsemodem A” does not show any decode messages while in RF mode! Attempted with microphone, line-in, and the input level isn’t distorting.

I’m a 10-year licensed ham and media production engineer; all the obvious issues were tested.

Off-grid functionality is not possible with this app without having both TX and RX!

Settings mislabelled, no location tracking..

The passcode and the host fields are swapped / mislabelled… so unless you know that or figure it out the app will not connect. Also, there’s no way to have location tracking, you have to manually transmit a packet each time. An ok start but needs a lot of work for practical use beyond occasional message updates or just browsing nearby transmissions.

Verify me?

Like the app, interface is fairly clean, instructions adequate. No mention of a verification method, but when I connect, a small pop up informs means that I am not verified and will not be able to transmit.

It’s a good start

Need to fix the APRS-IS password and server input boxes so that they’re correct (mine has the server input under “APRS-IS Password” and the password under “APRS-IS Server”. It would be nice to be able to select which port we connect to, but this is still a work in progress.

Look forward to seeing how the software develops.

Need software update

There is a huge issue with the gps reading. Some time it send my location to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean close to antártica. My call sing CA3IMF. This is by RF aprs

It’s great!

Crossing my fingers one day apple will allow SPP Bluetooth connections!

Works great for now through baofeng and wouxun radios!

App does not work

Will not connect to APRS network with valid callsign & passcode.

Good app no location tracking

Great free app with nice look! Just hope it also supports location tracking, ie sending aprs packets periodically. Maybe I did not find it yet.

Response from developer

The newest 2.0 version released yesterday support auto beacon for set period of time. Try it :)
