Fischkin ,

App works great, Developer is always doing updates.

App works great, and the developer is always working to update the app. When iOS 13 came out on beta it broke the system with google maps. I emailed the developer and he responded pretty much right away saying he is working towards a fix. Two weeks later a new update and its working. Great job with the application. And it works with Darkmode. Pretty great app, worth the purchase price. VE7PMD

Great app!

Great app, glad to be supporting the site, just getting into HAM and SDR.

One request would be an alternative app icon, cars are a bane! Give the rail minded among us some love!
