Color code is provided but that’s it. Back to using their website. Please add that information. ### 2/5 — Information not correct *2026-01-18* I’ve installed the Android version and it’s OK, but the iOS version is still wrong. VA2XGA is not 448.100 but 448.075 MHz (cc1), even after several months. ### 3/5 — Information not correct *2025-12-20, version 25.11.29* I’ve installed the Android version and it’s OK, but the iOS version is still wrong. VA2XGA is not 448.100 but 448.075 MHz (cc1) ### 2/5 — Location Missing Edit *2025-10-04, version 25.09.29* I could give this more stars but I’m not able to edit my location. I’m at the mercy of my provider which has me located hundred+ miles away. We need to be able to enter our own grid coordinates. ### 4/5 — Handy *2025-06-14, version 25.06.04* Handy tool, just text of the freqs, has location services to find close by repeaters etc. ### 4/5 — Great App *2025-01-29, version 25.01.28* Awesome app. However, when I try to log into the repeaterbook.com website, I have a problem logging into that. Not only that, there is really no help files on the site that will help me get logged in so I can use my laptop occasionally. ### 3/5 — Do they do app updates *2024-10-07, version 24.10.04* Not even sure they update this app ### 4/5 — Call sign *2024-06-30* I’m trying to add a repeater but it won’t accept my call sign as it’s starts with 2E0 How can this be overcome? ### 5/5 — Updates, and super useful *2023-09-30* Thanks for developing, and maintaining, RepeaterBook. I’m new to amateur radio and this is very helpful, especially if I’m going on a trip. I can pre-program for my route, both thumbs are up! ### 5/5 — Good info great price *2023-05-30, version 23.05.13* This has an excellent array of useful information. I have a sense it is not always bleeding-edge up to date, but it meets my needs. ### 5/5 — Sehr hilfreich… *2023-04-19* und Dank der regelmäßigen Updates auch sehr aktuell. Gute Filterfunktion, um genau die Repeater zu finden, die man sucht. Und all das auch noch umsonst. Vielen Dank für dieses gelungene Programm. ### 5/5 — Please add a map! *2023-01-01* This app is really helpful amn I use it quite often. One thing that I really miss though is a map that shows the repeaters surrounding me. Would be teriffic if this could be added! ### 5/5 — Top! *2022-12-31* Sehr hilfreich, wenn man viel unterwegs ist. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why does it ask for Bluetooth? *2026-05-15, version 26.05.13* Not happening! ### 1/5 — Why does it ask for Bluetooth? *2026-02-02, version 26.02.01* Not happening! ### 1/5 — Confusing *2025-02-16, version 25.01.28* This app doesn’t have the same names for repeaters as MyGmrs app. ### 1/5 — Closed off to innovation *2024-07-20, version 24.07.18* RepeaterBook taking crowd sourced data and preventing fair use. Not cool. ### 1/5 — Useless for GMRS *2024-05-06, version 24.04.26* I’ve tried looking up repeaters that I know exist, on the GMRS band. Found none of them. Even one that only lists on RepeaterBook. That I found on the desktop/web app. Even though I specifically filter for GMRS, it still gives only Ham repeaters. So, I can only give it a 1. ### 1/5 — Newest version does not work on my ipad *2024-03-22, version 24.03.20* I have downloaded numerous versions of this app over the years without problem. This lates one transferred non of my information loaded in the previous version. I cannot even seem to load my location. Will look for another app if this does not get fixed. K2PHD - FN20qv ### 1/5 — My opinion! *2022-12-31, version 22.12.03* I thought it would be like the web sight (RepeaterBook.com), but with more. Not case, very underwhelming! ### 1/5 — OUTDATED INFORMATION *2022-11-30* Needs to be updated as listing repeaters that don’t even exist anymore also missing some repeaters not listed this is totall junk if not kept up to date ### 1/5 — What repeaters? *2022-10-02, version 22.09.22* Have not used it in awhile but then re-downloaded it to an iPhone. No matter what I try, it lists no repeaters. Not sure if it is a phone setting or me but it is pretty useless for me. ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2022-04-07, version 22.03.23* If you go online on a computer you can access a fantastic list of repeaters, use the app and you get gibberish. Many repeaters missing. The website detects a phone and refuses to show you any information except that you can download this near useless app... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — C4FM *2025-08-16* Eine sehr gute und hilfreiche App. Es wäre schön wenn noch C4FM Relais gelistet wären. ### 5/5 — Very good but gmrs is lacking a bit *2024-11-29, version 24.10.27* This app is extremely useful but it would be nice to show the gmrs channel in addition to the frequency so newer users don’t gotta memorize the channel’s frequencies ### 5/5 — Wonderful Resource *2024-11-10* After years of struggling through cumbersome written repeater guides to find machines in a given area, I happened to hear the author of Repeater Book in an interview on my favorite HR podcast and the rest, as they say, is history. What an incredibly powerful yet easy-to-use resource, and free. I do donate occasionally and urge others to do the same. This app is a obviously a labor of love in service of our great hobby and nowhere close to being a get-rich plan. My hat’s off to Repeater Book and its creator. ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2024-11-02, version 24.10.27* Love this book. Use this wherever I go. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-10-15* So so useful ### 5/5 — Must have app *2024-09-08* Thank you for continuing to keep the database updated! ### 5/5 — TETRA missing *2024-03-03* Thanks for this great app! Would be nice to have TETRA (DMO and TMO) as modes as well. ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-11-16, version 23.11.13* This app works great! Author keeps the database current, filtering works just how you want and Developer also answers email!!! ### 5/5 — It works *2023-10-30* Simple to use and up to date, very useful reference. ### 5/5 — Love it - One Suggestion *2023-10-03* Finding repeaters near me and as a breeze and the search criteria are perfect. One thing though, when we click on a repeater to see the Detroit would be great if you had the “field names” of descriptions for each value for help with programming… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
