SOTA Goat

Die App erleichtert den Einstieg in die SOTA Welt ungemein: Gipfel im Urlaub oder unterwegs können schnell gefunden werden; über Aktivierung kann man sich bequem informieren lassen und auch einfach mal auf „gut Glück“ reinhören - mit überraschenden Erlebnissen 😃 Eine Logbuch-Funktion mit Hochladefunktion für die SOTA Datenbank wäre natürlich der Hammer.

Die App gefällt mir gut und läuft ohne Probleme. Noch besser wäre es, wenn man über eine Log-Funktion Zugriff auf die SOTA-Datenbank hätte, um eine erfolgreiche Verbindung einzutragen. Das geht zwar nicht, aber die App-Funktionen sind trotzdem gut.👍

Spots have stopped appearing on my Lock Screen.

I download updated data and almost all of my country’s mountain data was gone. This is useless. I am really disappointed.

The last update appears to be over 2 years ago so I’m assuming this is abandon-ware. It crashes after a few taps on my iPhone 14 pro running iOS 16.5 **Would not recommend until the author adds basic filtering and fixes the constant crashing.**

Love the app and use it for every SOTA. Two complaints: 1. The band selector scroll wheel on the Spots screen is terrible on my iPhone 12. I can't see what band is selected because the lower window covers up the scroll wheel. I have to use SOTA Watch to spot as a workaround. 2. I wish I could filter alerts and spots. I'm only FM for now, so the long list of foreign and HF alerts and spots is just clutter for me. Awesome app. Keep the updates coming! 73

This app is a fantastic SOTA tool. If it had the ability to filter alerts/spots by association and/or other data points it would be 5 star perfect.

I am not complaining here, just sharing. On 9/25/2021 using version 1.6.3 on iOS 15, I tried to create a New Alert, filled in the information, and clicked save. I then got a screen full of error messages.

…with 2 small additions: 1) Adding the ability to filter the list of spots and alerts, for instance by region or band. 2) When a user clicks on a spot or alert, including a map of the summit’s location on the spot or alert detail page, instead making the user click More Information, bouncing him or her to the summit’s SOTA profile, and making them click again to choose a map source.

I use the app to determine when I'm in the Activation zone and I take a screenshot. Sometimes on a peak I forget it's designator; I consult the app. The peak compass and the remaining distance read outs help me avoid false summits. These features work when you're out of cell phone data coverage, because of the downloaded database. Well worth the price. Thank you!
