BS HT

Would like to see the same features in the iOS version as in android.

After updating the firmware (radio reads 0.7.10-32) and the app reads (255.15.15) I cannot connect my iPhone and radio. I’ve did a factory restore on the radio and removed & reinstalled the app.

Could not get settings to save. Every time i tried to configure aprs to be on channel 32, it would never save. Each time i went back to the configuration, it would be set to current channel.

it's pretty embarrassing how there are entire features in the android app that aren't available on the iOS version. BTECH's GMRS-Pro software is equally lackluster. Open Source and license this app please so we can fix it for you and also get some alternative tools to control and configure these HTs. so absurd to require a mobile phone to configure a radio give me a break.

The developer has actually followed through in continuing to add features and utility and that’s much appreciated! However, there is soooo much potential with this system. A few more suggestions; Bluetooth headset/airpods support Apple CarPlay support Apple Watch support Mdc decoding AND encoding (it does already decode, but not in network connected channels for some reason) an option for a simplified “radio screen” sorts view, kind of like the screen on a regular dual band mobile. Vfo option with a “virtual” Vfo knob even Etc. This thing is cool guys! It’s just not done…

This app is really handy for quick configuration of a new radio. I'd really like a way to copy channel info between channel lists - manually entering the same channel across a couple lists to have different scan settings is rough.

Do not buy the VGC VR-N7500 if you have an iPhone 14 PRO / running 16.5. When I try to pair the bluetooth my phone says - Pairing Unsuccessful VR-N7500 is not supported. I have no clue what phones or versions of iOS this radio does not work with. I'm glad I have an old Android phone so I can at least use the radio. Will update if things change.

…but the app really seems hobbled by a lack of developer support. Key features of the Android app — the ability to load new channel groups to the radio’s memory, interpretable APRS maps and packet lists, ability to keep the device’s screen on, the ability to add/edit channels and modify settings when not connected to the radio — NEED to be ported over. The app’s entire interface needs to be retranslated, and there needs to be more/better/any documentation. Please consider adding true VFO mode, RepeaterBook access/integration (like Chirp), the ability to send and receive APRS messages (as opposed to just beacons), and the ability to set a channel’s Tx frequency by selecting an offset (as opposed to entering it from scratch).

The radio this app controls is great but this app is horrible. I don’t know this got past the review process at Apple. I would avoid this radio because the app is unusable making the radio useless. There’s so much potential if a competent developer took a stab at this.

Pls add features like android, iOS is limited. I would like the new update to include the capability of changing regions and not be limited to 16 channels. I’ll give you 5 stars if you can add like Android app.
