Ratings and Reviews
See AllLatest version (2.19) could use some improvement
This release sorts Favorites alphabetically, instead of the order I had before, and does not allow the user to move favorites up and down the list as desired. Please bring back that capability.
No support for passwords longer than 14 characters
This makes the app literally unusable for most people.
As you can see by the developer response, they don’t have any helpful answer to this.
In an email they told me that this is to prevent incompatibilities between other versions of the app; which ignores the inherent incompatibility this actively creates: you can set a password >14 characters on desktop, which is apparently incompatible everywhere else.
They told me that this is to avoid breaking compatibility of the app between legacy platforms, which implies this limit is actually arbitrary in the case of the modern iOS app.
Here’s my question: Why not allow it, but warn users entering a password >14 characters that it will be incompatible elsewhere? And if it’s more complicated than that, why not just say that?
Developer Response ,
A simple solution is to choose a password shorter than 15 characters. You can re-set your password at echolink.org/validation .
Upgrade has issues
After the upgrade there are connection issues. Please fix.
