Same as the other guy. Purchased and installed the app. There is nothing but a map no menu no buttons no instructions. It does nothing.

Response from developer

We’re sorry for the trouble you experienced. During our testing and the App Review process, we did not encounter this issue. It is possible that your firewall or internet provider is blocking the TCP port needed for APRS. We recommend trying our new Version 3.0 to see if it fixes the problem. It includes updates like WebSockets and connections over HTTP(s), which may help.

Nothing

Its a google map that shows your gps location. No menu no nothing. NOT an aprs app. Its a map. I already have map apps on my phone.
