I think I’m using it wrong

I saw a demo at Rickreal, got the app last night, and I get some repeaters in the text list below the map, but I do not see any antenna icons on the map, and the “show” switches are “on” in settings. What else do I need to do as a new user?

Response from developer

You might have to wait a minute or two, quit and reopen the app on the first run sometimes. There are over 20,000 repeaters to load! If it still gives you issues do send an email with further details to contact@hearham.live, thank you.

Good resource but UI needs some work

It’s a great resource for Ham and GMRS repeaters. The UI is a bit cramped though. It’s would be helpful if the repeater details could optionally be hidden and the map window be made larger. Also, I could not find a filter to hide the inactive repeaters.

Update: The option to hide inactive repeaters is now available and the developer replied to let know.

There is now an option to hide the inactive/unlinked ones.

Suggestion

Would be perfect if it told you how to program the repeater into memory. Something for the next update maybe?

Response from developer

This has been added for many of the radios now.
