Ratings and Reviews
Stripped Down ATAK but coming along
I’ve been following this project for a while. There have been leaps & bounds. While there is still some to be desired with iTAK. It is a great option & allows compatibility with the TAK servers. I would like to see this become as fully capable as ATAK some day. Right now I currently wish that I could upload packages to the server from iTAK. One bug I noticed is that even if I’ve read a message through the chat tool, the notification still shows until I go to notifications to read it. It would be nice if the notifications cleared no matter how I got there. Thanks TAK TEAM! Keep it going. Let’s get this puppy fully functional!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback. We're looking into this package bug you described. Fix coming soon!!
Convenient but Buggy
Lemme explain, it’s convenient because it being a free app and I enjoy using it when I need it. Lately I’ve been having problems with the app crashing once I upload a file from my downloads. It happens almost 9/10 of the time. When it works for me it’s just fine. I also have issues when I want to change the maps, it would crash when I try to put Hybrid or whatever map I choose. I’d have to open the app and it would continue to crash and not allow me to even access the app because the screen will be dark. There’s times I have had to delete and install the app multiple times to get it to work. Not to mention my connection is usually good. Another thing, once the app begins to work fine for me one day, if I close out of it and try to use it again the next day, the whole buggy process starts over again. I’d have to uninstall the app the next day I use it just to use it for that specific day again. I hope this gets resolved, as I said before the app is convenient and I enjoy using it when it’s working just fine and not buggy.
Handy app
I really like the concept and overall it’s pretty well done. One issue I have is when creating a point of interest I am unable to rename it from the default. I can change the coordinates, add comments, and add a photo but the window will not allow me to scroll up to access the name. Quite frustrating as this seems like a minor coding issue but it makes it difficult to determine what a point represents without clicking on it.
