## PocketPacket Description
PocketPacket is a full-featured APRS client with a built-in TNC. The "Automatic Position Reporting System" is a packet communication protocol used by amateur radio operators (hams) around the world, to report position, status, station capabilities, weather or other information in real time. Packets can also be used for broadcasting announcements or one-to-one messaging.

PocketPacket incorporates a software-based TNC, allowing you to directly capture and visualize, or encode and transmit 1200 baud packets (AFSK modulation) using a VHF radio transceiver. With PocketPacket you can also get and send packets over the Internet, by selecting one of the available Tier 2 servers of the global APRS-IS network.

Incoming data is presented on a map, as most packets define some object, with a specific symbol and location. By selecting a symbol, you can view the latest information sent for the corresponding object, as well as the raw packets that produced it. All available objects are also shown in a list, which allows you to search for the ones you are looking for. Messages and bulletins are shown in a separate set of screens, structured like an e-mail client.

With PocketPacket you can follow the status of the APRS network, submit your station's info, monitor moving objects, get real time weather reports directly from local stations and more. PocketPacket is ideal for field work or the ham shack.

## PocketPacket Reviews in United States

### ***** "Fantastic"
Coming from Android, this app does everything that APRSDroid did for me. I would highly recommend it!  It needs to be better advertised!
-- DLG473, 2024-12-13

### ****- "Works with TH-D75"
I tried this program out years ago but shifted to just using APRS.FI instead. But I recently picked up a Kenwood TH-D75 HT and BB link Bluetooth translator. Pocket Packet will communicate with KISS Bluetooth modems with the BB Link dongle just fine.
-- K0JEG, 2024-07-07

### ****- "PocketPacket"
1200 baud VHF packet client. Works with a radio with the. Phone’s speaker and mic, and/or the internet (aprs-is). No 300bd, though.. Can 300bd be built in?
-- HarryHydro, 2023-03-23

### *---- "Transmits constantly despite frequency setting"
Seemed like a full-featured APRS client but it’s hard to get into those features when I’m constantly having to disconnect from my radio because it transmits constantly, regardless of the radio’s VOX sensitivity. Even when the audio modem is disabled it transmits. It also monopolizes the microphone, even when backgrounded. I would normally contact the developer about these issues, but they don’t provide any means to do so.
-- GravelPassHunter, 2021-04-01

### ***** "Great APRS app!"
Still one of my favorite APRS apps!

Would be nice if it had the ability to have the app keep running and beacons while in the background and while the iPhone is asleep.

Please add 300 baud for HF APRS. 

It would also be cool if this app could act as a digipeater & iGate when connected to a ham radio.
-- TheGadgetinator, 2021-01-19

### *---- "Didn’t work"
Didn’t work on my iPhone 7. I really liked for this to work. Wouldn’t show up on APRS.fi ...If you are interested in sending texts or messages buy a real TNC or radio equipped for APRS.
-- sorry I wasted 5 bucks, 2020-07-17

### ****- "Simple, functional, effective"
The application is intuitive, easy to configure and works as advertised. The offline mode via the audio modem works very well. I’m able to receive APRS packets from a number of nodes several miles away with my HT hooked up to my iPhone. 

There does however seem to be a glitch when viewing the raw packet data in the “Packet Flow” option. The raw packet data shows up blank for some reason. If that bug is fixed this is easily five stars.
-- coda_0, 2020-06-30

### *---- "Who knows?"
Apples have always had a problem connecting to bluetooth devices. So if i can’t connect to device it is difficult to evaluate the usefulness of the program.
-- Bnoobe, 2020-06-07

### *---- "No Mic - unable to hear packets"
Until Antony releases a new version, wait.  Any recent iPhone and iOS won’t work as expected.  The app fails to request the microphone privilege and the app is then unable to receive transmissions.  WiFi/Cellular data parts work fine thru aprs.fi but if you want it to work with your radio you’ll be out of luck.  Antony, if you are listening, we await your update.  Happy to change the review to 5 stars then...
-- BenCranston, 2019-09-20

### ***** "APRS Works Awesome"
I’ve been using various phone based APRS apps and am very happy with Pocket Packet. The app does everything I’d expect from a phone based app. It allows message delivery between SSIDs and will receive messages from RF SSIDs going through the APRS-IS network.  I guess some folks might want to have it act as a KISS TNC but that is not my expectation for this app.
