RS-AERO1I

App is basically useless, once I finally paired the radio, was difficult to edit functions let alone program new ones. Makes the GPS portion of the radio almost useless. Not worth spending the money on the navigation version of the radio unless you only want it for VORs (even then, the VOR function on the radio is clumsy)…

This serious limitations means this app and the Icom ic-a25ne are of very limited use for navigation - the app needs to be able to import other gpx formats. Hence, the transceiver is currently not worth the money!

Seriously it is garbage.

The app doesn’t even coordinate with aeronautical charts. On top of that it doesn’t even function with the radio, please fix this!!!!

You have to use this app to program GPS Waypoints to the A25N for any GPS Navigation. While that portion of this app does technically work, you’re also supposed to be able to program frequencies and other information (in fact-the data pops up in the app when you create a waypoint, but it does not allow you to edit any of the fields). You also cannot see any list of the waypoints you created. You have to use their app.

Tried iPhone 12 Pro Max and also an iPad Pro.

Does not connect. Useless.

Icom looks like they no longer support this app. It’s a shame because the ability to send a useful flight plan to the nav radio would actually make it a great feature, if it actually worked. It would also make a lot more sense if they used an actual aeronautical map, rather than the useless ambiguous map with virtually no usable markings on it. I really wish they would update the app to make it usable. The only other way to use the nav function is the enter latitude and longitude coordinates manually, as the radio itself will not allow you to enter waypoints by their identifier.

Add in the ability to add to memory from the app and I’d give it 4 stars. Haven’t tested flp, VORs, or waypoints yet. And please add the ability to reorder the groups. It makes things really convenient for those who travel. Which is the whole point in flying lol.

Zero stars. No option to add/delete freqs or other OBVIOUS data. But it doesn’t connect from an iPhone X to the multi-dollar IC-A25N, so don’t worry about it! Sure, the app will see the radio (radio pairs to phone just fine) but that’s just a tease.
