SOTA Goat - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

SOTA Goat is the all-in-one summit database and spotting application for participants of the Summits On The Air amateur radio program.

It was designed from the ground up as an invaluable tool for summit activators – as necessary as your transceiver and power supply! SOTA Goat provides all the tools to aid in planning and completing your activation.

Mountain Goats and Shack Sloths alike will appreciate the comprehensive summit database and search features, as well as the ability to view and share summit activations and signal reports over SOTAwatch.

This is a universal app that is available for all devices that support iOS 11+, including iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

OFFLINE SUMMIT DATABASE:

• Every summit in the SOTA database is available offline: search, browse, and view a map
• Download updates to the database to get the latest new associations
• Star your favorite summits for easy access
• Export summits to KML and GPX files for use in other applications or GPS devices

SOTAWATCH3 SPOTS AND ALERTS:

• View, add, and modify spots and alerts from SOTAwatch3
• Enable push notifications to be alerted of every new activation. Granular filtering ensures you only see the alerts you desire

SUMMIT TRACKER:

• Reach the summit with an integrated compass that lets you know when you're within the activation zone.

With the help of SOTA Goat, you're on your way to become a Shack Sloth or a Mountain Goat in no time!

Baaaaaah!

Sad news:

Spots have stopped appearing on my Lock Screen.

Can’t use!

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

Crash crashy

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.**

Just a couple of minor tweaks away from being the perfect SOTA companion

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

Great but Lacking Filters

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.

“New Alert” Function - Errors - Ver 1.6.3

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.

A great app that could be even greater…

…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.

Works out of coverage

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!

A Must Have for SOTA Activations

From Setting Alerts to letting you know when you’re in the Activation Zone - the developer must be a GOAT to have nailed all the needs of a SOTA activator. I use this app from planning to activating every SOTA mission. W6BFT

Almost perfect

Really nice but still has a problem I and others experience where sometimes you have to log out and back in again
