Needs Meshtastic and Meshcore integration

Would be great to see native integration of meshtastic and meshcore. Using a TAK server via the meshtastic app is unreliable. Making TAK Aware a one stop shop complete with settings and channels would be amazing.

The IOS TAK Solution We Have Been Waiting For

As an iPhone user in the field, finding a reliable, high-performance TAK client has always been a challenge—until TAK Aware. This app is built from the ground up by a real subject matter expert who truly understands operational workflows.

What sets it apart is the development process: the team actively listens to a community of SMEs and upgrades the platform based on real-world feedback from Public Safety and Government agencies. The developer is incredibly responsive, and every steady build makes the product better, smoother, and more robust. Above all, it takes massive pride in its field reliability. If you need trusted situational awareness on iOS, this is it.

Best TAK Client for IOS

Much better than ITAK. Looking forward to continuing development.

Close but not there

The UI is menu driven, which works, but it’s incredibly slow and arduous. If this were to have a UI more similar to iTAK or ATAK this would absolutely be awesome and land 5 stars. But the UI makes it difficult to use.

Almost but not quite there

Like the similarity to atak. Being able to pull video streams from the tak server and play them would be great.
