### 2/5 — Huh

*2025-05-02*

Crashes all the time

### 1/5 — App won’t download

*2024-01-06*

Version 2.0 fails to download repeaters, audio, etc.

### 3/5 — New Version Runs Great.... Tnx!

*2022-09-20*

I use this all the time but now it is not loading again (Sept 2022) and needs to be fixed… Needs some work again…

IOS11 Update.. This current version doesn't seem compatible with IOS11. Repeaters will not load.. Needs some work for IOS11.. I retract my last update... The new IOS10 version seems to work very well... Thanks for fixing this app!

**Developer response:** These issues have been resolved in v2.0 of the app. Please update and try again. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Not impressed!!!!

*2018-01-24*

This app is not compatible with iPhones. I’ve downloaded it twice and it won’t work. It says the downloads failed. This needs a fix done to it. I recommend that you don’t download this app until it’s fixed.

### 1/5 — Never loads the map

*2017-12-31*

Thats about it, deleted it

### 1/5 — No information

*2017-12-26*

Will not download any repeaters in the area. Was a great app to show me which repeaters were local and all the connection information but not any more

### 4/5 — ISO 10

*2017-06-20*

Doesn't work with the new update ISO 10.

Update seems to be OK so far. Just spent 30 minutes looking it over. Noted that a number of the repeaters listed no longer exist. In fact I happened to be one of the WINSystem Controllers. No fault of the people doing the app. Our website needs to be updated as well at Winsystem.org audio stream seems to work just fine.

**Developer response:** v2.0+ was designed for iOS 10. If you have repeater updates, can you please submit a support ticket to https://behrconsulting.zendesk.com with a current list, or just the changes?  I'll make the changes as I get them. All the list data are updated over the air.

### 3/5 — Needs support for Apple Watch

*2017-06-20*

Maybe a list of the closest repeaters and their frequencies could be viewed from the apple watch.

**Developer response:** Great idea. Send a request to https://behrconsulting.zendesk.com, I'll need a beta tester fro that feature.

### 2/5 — Doesn't Work

*2017-03-13*

This app use to work great and I used it often. It no longer works and needs significant work.

**Developer response:** These issues have been resolved in v2.0 of the app. Please update and try again. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2017-02-21*

Getting error messages when trying to sort by repeater location etc.  will not connect to the Internet properly.. crashes.. a laundry list of issues

**Developer response:** These issues have been resolved in v2.0 of the app. Please update and try again. Thank you.
