I want to like this

App randomly closes, most likely due to my use of beta iOS. I’ve discussed this with the developer and feel that it’s not the app.

Great app

This app works really well. Good audio to my Allstar node and beyond. Would be great to have some DTMF presets on the dial page. So I could send stored connect and disconnect commands.

Very good app!

I rated this as 4 stars, even though it is the BEST allstar app for iOS it is missing one important feature that would be highly welcomed; Apple CarPlay integration.

Login

I tried to set up my account and i always get “authentification failed”.

Finally!! iOS version has been made!

This is an excellent program and special
thanks to WES for making this happen!
Important note for those beta testing, 26.2 has broken this app. Do not update your phone to beta versions until they get this resolved.

good app but crashes with latest iOS

Not sure what the go is but with current iOS the app crashes when connected to allstar node. Otherwise works well and has been reliable upto now.

iOS issues

iPhone 12 no issues but iPhone 16 pro will not connect

Excellent

Very smooth running. My only wish would be the inclusion of the CQ function as was added to the original EchoLink app. Otherwise, a pleasure to use.

Many Allstar nodes reject this apps connection attempts

Seems Repeaterphone uses node-less, unauthenticated access to hub nodes. Seems large hubs disable “allstar-public” access to block abuse. This prevents me from accessing the large southcoastreflector network I’m interested in. I confirmed with the network admin. that he has disabled “allstar-public”.

Several forum posters reported these issues with this app., and the only alternative is Android based DVswitch. Appears the developer is also aware of the issue for a couple of years now, and has no resolution.

So, before spending your money- validate the access requirements of your favorite node network hubs.

Fantastic

CarPlay

Not compatible with CarPlay which means, in UK anway, you can’t operate the PTT whilst driving. A real shame.

Love it

Love this app great work.

An amazing app that keeps everyone connected

I really enjoy this app and love the fact that it is very stable, you can talk directly with people on the radio on the other end. And while you have the ability to talk with everyone anywhere in the world, I wish they would at least orginize in some way an optimal way to orginize the nodes at least by location or perhaps group chat. I am not dinging them for that though, it just makes it more difficult to get going. With that being said, I'm not techie enough to even attempt a node, I'ld never be able to get it going. Fabulous tool.

The perfect app atrociously run

I am just blown away by the fact that there is absolutely no options to differentiate conference or location within the RepeaterPhone app for All-Star or EchoLink

Super Application!

Je recommande cette application, elle fonctionne super bien. Très bonne qualité audio et facile d’utilisation.

Merci

I wish

I wish I could see the total number of people connected to the node even before I connect. Thanks for the app.

Response from developer

Unfortunately that is the behavior that Apple has specified for VoIP calls; when you shut off the phone screen, the OS sends a hangup command to the app.

Great App

Takes amateur radio to a new level.

Great aAternative

This is a really nice value alternative that does not require any expensive special hardware other than a phone. Just set your credentials and you are on the air.

Crashes sometimes, interrupting calls

This app will occasionally crash, disconnecting you from the call you're in. It also failed to load the list of stations for the first several times I tried to load that.

It also sometimes randomly disconnects (possibly correlated to network changes) without crashing, and is silent for several seconds before indicating that it's disconnected.

Audio quality is good when it does work, but it's too unreliable, so I'm back to using EchoLink for now.

Also the ability to search for nodes by location like the EchoLink app has would be very useful, the list of nodes tends to be too long to be useful to scroll through if you don't already know exactly which one you want.
