Ratings and Reviews
So far so good!
Been looking for a good APRS app since I switched to an iPhone a few years ago. This app is a big step in the right direction!
4 stars for now to give room for improvement. The app is super easy to use and I was up and running in less than 2 min! It does 80% of what I want out of the box. Awesome!
Constructive feedback that would get me to 5 stars:
- it needs a messaging interface. A way to send / receive messages between stations or receive bulletins. And a way to view old messages / threads. Similar to the Messages interface on iOS.
- please let us display the call sign of a station on the map. Or make that a configurable option.
- please let us configure the distance to filter packets on the APRS-IS network. I might want to see more / less than 100km.
- please add the ability to beacon automatically every x min or x miles or something like that.
This is definitely a step in the right direction and could fill a huge void on iOS for APRS apps. I’d definitely consider paying for more functionality. Thanks!
Just works
The built in docs helped me easily listen to APRS and see the msgs. I also made my first rf position report with this app.
The reason for four stars instead of five is the limited features available. I would like to issue bulletins.
Very nice and simple
I love the simple interface to this app. And it’s open source too!
One thing I am seeing is that it doesn’t work well with Vox. It needs a setting to allow a “start tone” to trigger the Vox and an adjustable delay before the transmission. This of course would go hand in hand with an auto-beacon feature.
Thank you so much for putting this out there for free. It’s hands down the best approach to this. Keep up the good work!
