RepeaterPhone

This app will occasionally crash, disconnecting you from the call you're in. It also failed to load the list of stations for the first several times I tried to load that. It also sometimes randomly disconnects (possibly correlated to network changes) without crashing, and is silent for several seconds before indicating that it's disconnected. Audio quality is good when it does work, but it's too unreliable, so I'm back to using EchoLink for now. Also the ability to search for nodes by location like the EchoLink app has would be very useful, the list of nodes tends to be too long to be useful to scroll through if you don't already know exactly which one you want.

I really appreciate what the dev has done here. Until this, only the one (beta, buggy) app allows for a direct allstar node connection. Anyway, this one works! Some wants in a perfect world: The watch app lacks the ability to hear through its speaker, and is merely a simple one-way PTT for the phone(Apple restriction). It'd be cool have more sorting for the large repeater list, and a last heard map/list which would be really useful. Another feature would be listen-only mode or just a dialer where I can connect to ASL nodes with allstar's codes like *72 etc... most of the nodes I regularly connect to like WinSys and hubnet error out with "Rejected: No authority found". I think the hub owners have blocked this type of client (and not DVSwitch which is weird). In any case, great effort by the dev and looking forward to seeing what it can become. Update after reading dev response: most of the issues here are Apple's restrictions. Oh, Apple.

I want to like this app but I can't seem to use it without it crashing. Going back to the old free Echolink app.

This is the best app as of right now! So happy on how it performs on both EchoLink and on Allstar. It’s so amazing how smooth and easy this app cooperates like a simple walk in the park! Thank you for releasing such a well thought out application.

I love to listen to different NODES and Conferences, BUT when you lock the screen it will close the connection and ends everything. Both Echolink and Allstarlink will NOT run while screen is off. Lame.. Rather go back to the Original Echolink APP and Zoiper.

Unfortunately after using this app on my iPhone for the last two months I cannot solve the constant crashing. The app has been unreliable for me.

This amazing app has worked flawlessly for me and I LOVE it! After all the amateur radio enjoyment RepeaterPhone has given me and continues to give me, I would pay 10 times the price and still consider it a good value.

I was away from home and wanted to connect to my local repeaters via AllStarLink, this is absolutely perfect when you are not in range of another linked repeater.

The potential once they are worked out is awesome. I will support the developer so that this awesome app can reach its potential. Update 8/15/23. Reached out to developer with another potential bug. Blew me off. He got my 8 bucks so what does he care. See ya. Not even the courtesy of a response. Even if it only happened to me not even an email saying anything. I got his attention with a one star review though. Proof in point.

I want to give 5 stars because it’s a great app so far, but my only complaint is the audio seems to be less than fully baked. I get only about half volume coming from all of the speakers on my phone regardless of what speaker is actually selected. In fact, trying to change from one speaker to another mutes the entire app and the only way to get even limited volume back is to restart the call. This may not be an issue for everyone – not sure. I’m on iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16.1.1 on most recent app version as of this writing.
