Message feature doesn’t work. No way to enter acceptable ssid. Can’t edit once set up. Unusable! And apparently no support either.

Update: Not much change. I really want to like this app and give it 5 stars but I can’t. I use it but only with reservations and some disappointment over its operation on beacon timing and lack of a working filter. Original Comment At first glance, the app looks pretty good. Really liked it. After time and considerable usage, not so good. I started using app because radio beacons are unreliable in my area. I needed a more consistent result. This app is not it. The controls for beaconing is fixed set to a min beacon of every 5 minutes as the fasted rate you can get. Any faster is up to the app with no insight to how it chooses to beacon. It could be 30 seconds or it could be 5 minutes. I found it taking 4 to 5 minutes between beacons. At 40 MPH, this means the beacons are as far as 2 to 3 miles off. Not useful for me. I need last known position to be accurate to hundreds of feet while traveling. Not miles. I went back to radio where I control the beacon rate which makes sense for speed and accuracy. Unable to get filtering to work. I want to filter on a single station. Entering the call sign doesn’t do it. Enter call sign with wildcard asterisk doesn’t work either. No guide on how to use filtering.

Meets my needs. Keeps on getting better. No app is perfect. I’m always pleased when developers put time and effort in applications that serve a relatively small community compared to the general population. Gary AA1UE

The TNC software is why I bought the app, I could have just used the web interface. Very disappointed, $6.99 wasted

This app is far too limited for the upfront price. To unlock much of the functionality, you’ll be prompted to pay a subscription. Most frustrating, why can I only see 3 hours of tracks in a paid app without a sub. Just use the website. Too much paywall nickle and dime here.

No software TNC without subscription. Annual subscription to use software TNC that was paid for when purchasing. Use a old android phone and droidAPRS

Solid interface. Very intuitive. Provides lots of information that is easily accessible.

Very consistent solid working app. I have used aprs se this is better.

Are there any plans to add CarPlay support?

As our local Ham group of severe weather spotters get together during bad weather, we can report in to what we see from each of our locations on APRS.FI so our Ham located at our EOC can see our exact location ! Great help!
