What’s New
Version 2.6.1
• It’s now possible to change the account callsign/nickname from within the app (More -> My account).
• A few improvements in the station profile rename feature, to improve the chances of having an AX.25 compliant callsign-SSID by default.
Ratings and Reviews
RBG
Works perfectly, and I like the option to switch between Google Earth and Map views- useful.
App does not work
I purchased aprs.fi on Saturday 10 February and it was working on my iPhone X using latest iOS.
Today the app opens and then closes immediately
Major problem now
