OpenAPRS App Reviews

Was a nice app, but now you have to pay another $4.99 to verify your account to even be able to beacon your location - what a ripoff. Ill stick to IBCNU.

The best thing about this app. is that you save a lot of money. Your iPhone has everything you need to get started. You can even use an existing APRS account or create new ones. I was able to report my position where others on RF could not. This app. can run in the background and you can start or stop beaconing as you like. I would have given a 5 out of 5 if the app. would beacon when I make a turn. You can manually beacon, however this is not safe when driving. Another thing is that the shortest time to beacon is two minutes. That would be fine if it could auto beacon every time I turned 45 degrees or more. This is something I would love to see in the app. that would really make it better. This is a very good app. The tech support is fast and to the point with any problem you might have. If you would like APRS where ever you go, this is the app. for you.

The GPS has a big battery drain. The app leaves the GPS on when I exit and give no way to shut it down. I have to go to location services to shut it down for the program. We need a way to choose if we want it to run in the background so we dont run the battery all the way down and not be able to charge it back up at that time.

This app is well written and functions great, but it will drain battery life so quickly that it isnt a viable tracker for me unless it is plugged in constantly.

Im still on 4.3.2 (intentionally) and cannot update this app now since it is apparently marked for ios5. Theres a $4 app down the drain. :-(

Great app, problem is I downloaded a update tonight for 2.4.x but whats new only shows 2.1.x. I would like to search by name to find call sign. That is supposed to be in one of the newer versions. I have iOS 5.0.1 3rd gen iPod touch.

I highly recommend this amateur radio aprs app. Well worth the purchase! Also, read the help file after downloading it..... Setting it up is a breeze! 73s from Tampa Bay, FL

This app works very well and does pretty much everything I want in an APRS-IS based app (note it is not an RF APRS based app that connects to a radio). If it was updated to take advantage of the iPhone 5s larger screen Id give it 5 stars.

Ive had the app less than a week and very happy with it. Works well with a 3GS and the current iOS. Background feature is nice when on road trips and using audio streaming apps. Much better than other aprs apps out there.

This is by far the BEST APRS APP. I like when Im on the road my wife can see my location (when its on) ha ha.

Works great, notifications are cool too. Get THIS one!

It works. For messaging, beaconing, making objects, it all works and its well laid out as well 73

Still getting to know the app but had a little issue signing up. Sent an email to customer support as suggested. Actually got a response within a few minutes. Know several other club members using the app and they seem to like it. So Im sure I will as well once I figure it all out.

In general I like the program but for me I need a refresh more often than 5 minutes or a way to force it. If you move to another part of the map you wait for 5 minutes for an update. I sent a request to see if there was a manual update but received no reply.

Love this app!

The app does everything it needs to do, just needs iphone 5 & 5S support. Super lame having it show up small with the old keyboard. Dont buy if you expect full screen.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Settings screen is difficult to get to and difficult to dismiss. Additional settings are hidden in global settings screen. Disappointing.

This App will not send the proper position. This app regularly places me over 20 miles from my current stationary position!!! This company is ripping off the consumer!!! Marc

Some of the acronyms are a little crypic if you havent used it in a while, but it works great. Does exactly what its supposed to do.

Ok app. Needs to be updated to reflect newer versions of iOS and larger than a iPhone 4 screen.
