RFinder WW Repeater Directory for Negative User Reviews
✓ Disappointing so farPurchased iPad version of Rfinder. Somewhat disappointed with the information displayed - e.g. GB7HM is a DMR repeater, but there is no information that shows this in the App. No option to filter types of repeater - analogue/DMR/DSTAR etc. The web interface isn’t much better, with the only additional info for GB7HM being ‘DVU51’. Considering asking for a refund..Version: 4.15.125
✓ FiltersUnable to filter unwanted repeaters. When I use a filter the app won’t show any repeaters. I’ve tried several combinations from filtering one band to filtering 3-4..Version: 6.18.134
✓ WARNING: Password reset now dead link. Headless App.Update: The password reset link is now dead. No response from email. Headless dead app. This worked great for a few days, now it won’t display anything from database. No receipt found issue. Real HAM. This app is produced by a company that produces food stamp apps. My subscription could feed a family for as many days as the app actually worked..Version: 6.18.134
✓ Customer service is all but non existentFor the first few weeks the app worked great and I was actually very happy with it. However, it eventually stopped working all together. I open the app and nothing appears in the list. I’ve tried messing with settings to get results in the list and nothing works. I reached out to the developer and after a few emails I finally got a response. They asked for screenshots but didn’t say of what. I screenshot everything and emailed all of the images and haven’t heard anything since. I downloaded “RepeaterBook” for free and I get almost everything I need right from there. I barely ever right these things, but I can’t help but to warn any potential subscribers of what they’re getting themselves into..Version: 6.18.200
✓ Will NOT renew and updateHad this app for years. Noticed in setting that the “subscription “ expired a fee years ago. I tap on renew and it acts like it is renewing my subscription and tries to charge my account. It then says renewal successful. BUT in reality, nothing is getting purchased, there are no receipts to restore the purchase and it still shows expired years ago. Tried multiple times to renew but it won’t work. Complained a year ago and no response. If the developer won’t take the time to fix this app, you shouldn’t waste your time, or money, installing it..Version: 6.19.101
✓ Expensive for a non functional s/wI bought this app with the intention of using it in another country. However all I seem to be getting at the moment is a major issue associated with a non functioning GPS. If you have GPS on your device and it is switched off, this app will keep attempting to access the device without even allowing registration. $9.99 for this useless package. I am very unhappy..Version: 4.14.183
✓ No supportPaid a week ago but never got my account details. All I got is the PayPal payment confirmation. Tried numerous times to contact them via the given support contact email as well as the associated PayPal email - nothing. Just paid 13 bucks for nothing. If it is no longer supported it’s fine but I’d like my 13 bucks back, this app taken off App Store and the website closed please..Version: 6.19.101
✓ Unfit for purpose - buyer beware!I installed this app after seeing it promoted by the RSGB. I expected it to contain an up-to-date list of all of the repeaters from the RSGB’s UKRepeater website, but this could not be further from the truth. The data provided by this app is inaccurate, incomplete and poorly presented. I will therefore be requesting a refund. How this gained RSGB affiliation, I don’t know. 👎🏻.Version: 6.17.38
✓ Useless since doesn’t work offlineIf you have internet then this works decent, but in a disaster situation this is useless. Instead of developing these features a good option would be to link up with the app Gaia and have a RFinder later in there.Version: 6.17.38
✓ A waste.If you want to play ridiculous "subscription' games, with "no receipt"errors and erroneous expiration dates for $13 this is the app for you!!! I wound up having to use google anyway, I should have saved the money..Version: 6.18.134
✓ Eh it’s OkI am new to HAM radio but have had an ARRL repeater directory since 2005. I like the old style book better in its 3”x5” format. The app doesn’t specify weather the frequencies are the “Input/Output” or “Uplink/Downlink” frequencies. Just slightly annoying for me....Version: 6.19.101
✓ Does this app get any support?There are a lot of old reviews here. For something that is the official online repeater directory of the ARRL and other organizations it seems pretty ignored. I cannot get it to let me override my location. It always says it can’t find the place I am searching on. I have signed out and back in with no improvement. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled with no improvement. Any suggestions to make this app more reliable?.Version: 6.19.101
✓ Pretty WeakOverall it’s a pretty weak app, I’m deleting it. The map function is basically useless to me. It doesn’t show anything further than about 20 miles. I can see mountaintops from my QTH farther than that. Let alone for trip planning. If it could scroll around and then reload based on the screen center it would be an improvement..Version: 6.19.101
✓ App not up to date like desktop versionThis app clearly has potential, but it doesn't have the repeater info that the desktop version has. There are two longstanding repeaters close to me that are not shown in the app, yet they are on the desktop version. Both repeaters are represented in the free RepeaterBook app. When I'm traveling I would like to be able to rely on accurate information on the go and not having to double check info on a desktop computer..Version: 4.16.68
✓ Inaccurate info, buggy appI travel a lot, and I find a large number of the repeaters listed are non-functional. There’s much less info than in the ARRL-produced repeater directory. I’ve had several times where the program shows no repeaters at all that has required an un-install and reinstall to fix. Currently, the menu won’t open. All-in-all, a very poor substitute for the classic repeater directory..Version: 6.18.200
✓ Not quite as advertisedWhile this app can serve as a repeater reference, functionality is identical, and no better than some competing free apps. Search functionality does not work against current filter selection. Filtering cannot be sequentially applied to allow drilling down to a small list of repeaters. Call sign search does not apply to current repeater list, but external website. Distance filtering zeros out values when using offline database, even when using "last known position". Filter and search makes calls to external database & website even after continental database is downloaded. Constantly giving GPS error messages when using downloaded database. Why is this $13?.Version: 6.17.38
✓ Does not list from GPSInitially pleased but it doesn't list nearby repeaters from GPS. Sent a message to RFinder for assistance and got an invitation to call a US phone number. I messaged back that I was in the UK and heard nothing since..Version: 4.16.104
✓ The app is broken, DO NOT BUYI purchased the app after seeing it had an ARRL endorsement. I installed on a new iPhone XR and and year old iPad. After the install, it halts all functionality. Menu button does not work. You have to close the app, open it again, the menu button works one time and then everything freezes. This app should not be in the iOS App Store and not be endorsed by the ARRL. I have contacted the pusher (developer) and no joy. Trying to get a refund seems to be an uphill battle even though I only purchased it 2 days ago. The concept is good but look at the vendors website. The latest updates are from 2012. I’ll dispute the payment and move on to another app or use RR. I have many iOS apps, this is the worst. It also reminded me that getting a refund from Apple is a chore..Version: 6.18.200
✓ Not sure it’s worth the moneyI travel a bit and the repeater list here never seems to be accurate. It shows repeaters that aren’t operational any more and quite often is missing details like PL tones..Version: 6.17.38
✓ Not greatSeems unstable on my iPhoneX, won’t update lists and has to be restarted. Also tried to upload date from the site into my rig but crucial bits (like offset) were missing and had to be entered manually. Have found the RepeaterBook app better but their site also had issues exporting data..Version: 6.18.134
✓ GPS errorsI’d like to know why this app, which costs money, can’t seem to update my location and constantly gives GPS error messages while a competing app, which is free, updates with no problem. Location services are turned on but still refuses to refresh when I’m at a new location..Version: 6.19.3
✓ Terrible, how could ARRL recommend thisNo zero stars? Entered my location, it came up with my lat Lon and correct grid, FN12wb, then proceeded to tell me the closet repeater was an N7xxx in Casper Wyoming!! I fiddled with this for several days and have yet to get a correct repeater list for my area. Total waste of money!.Version: 6.17.38
✓ Review updateAfter some concerns and posting a negative review, I got a pleasant email from Bob who made this app. He has been helping solve a couple of issues and hopefully I will have it up and running properly soon. A number of factors could be behind it...my location, etc.Version: 3.14.87
✓ App crashes when refreshing stationsApp does not display local stations and crashes when attempting to refresh local listings. This pretty much renders the app useless. This has never been a stable product..Version: 6.19.101
✓ PatheticThe app has numerous errors for repeaters local to me, and numerous entries for the same repeater. Some repeaters are shown with two different frequency sets, one on VHF and the other on UHF. The initial list it loaded shows a repeater beginning EA - seems to be in the wrong country! The search is poor. I've yet to get it to return anything that would be useful to me. Save your money and use the UK repeater website. I'm going to ask for a refund..Version: 6.16.176
✓ Not worth the purchase priceI downloaded this app after seeing it was the official repeater directory of the ARRL. I was disappointed to see out of date information. I attempted to update some out of date repeaters and found there is no way to do so in the app. I attempted to add a new repeater that is not yet listed in the app and I got several different errors when trying to do so. Until the developer improves the app, don’t waste your money..Version: 6.19.101
✓ RF FinderDon’t buy it I can never get it to work, sorry peace of junk, it might work one time and the next time you try it nope it don’t work, and also never show the right expiration date, I went to my bank to see it I was changed and guess what I was but still don’t work, as far as I am concerned it a waste of money.Version: 6.19.3
✓ Can’t change LocationsApp reports repeaters using GPS of current location. Can’t Override locations. Keeps saying location can’t be found..Version: 6.19.101
✓ JunkThis app has a whole list of issues. The shift information is missing. The menu button randomly stops working and you have to force quit the app to fix it. GPS positioning doesn’t seem to work and you have to specify your location manually. The TPE export function does not produce a valid file. Finally, the UI is very amateurishly designed. Very disappointing, This should not have received ARRL approval..Version: 6.18.134
✓ RFinder appréciationRFinder est une application fort utile et bien conçue. Cependant, je constate que plusieurs mises à jour seraient nécessaires pour enlever des répétitrices qui n'existent plus, d'autres qui ont été déplacées... Dans l'ensemble, c'est une bonne application où il y aurait place à amélioration. Question: m'est-il possible de corriger moi-même certaines irrégularités? J'espère que les prochaines mises à jour permettront de hausser la cote de cette application. LD.Version: 4.15.233
✓ Does not work.The program has my location correct, but sometimes it does show near by repeaters, other times it shows no repeater, and other time it shows repeaters that are a thousand miles away as 0.0 miles away. Bad investment is this app..Version: 6.18.134
✓ No support, no renewalWorked reasonably fine until time to renew. Paid for renewal, but the app wouldn’t recognize it. No support through the app; emailed the support address on their website and was referred to the (nonexistent) app support..Version: 6.19.101
✓ I can not recommend this app.Dropped $12 on an app that according to "reviews" was great. Not my findings at all. One in six repeaters listed in my area were not accessible and some info was completely inaccurate compared to other resources. I can't count on this app at all. Wasted $12. One star for a pretty UI..Version: 6.17.38
✓ Rounding issue still presentA generally good app. However i have reported that the frequencies of some of my local repeaters whilst correct on the website database are rounded up by the iphone/ipad apps. Three emails on this subject without the courtesy of a reply, very poor customer service..Version: 2.12.190
✓ Confusing interface, inaccurate listings, bugs never fixedThe ARRL obviously never tested this app before choosing it as its official repeater directory. The database is inaccurate, with repeaters from states over a thousand miles away showing up as my “nearest repeaters”. The interface essentially doesn’t work right - searching for a location and then setting it as the current location for the list rarely works. Setting the selection switches for repeater type rarely works. This app needs to be removed from the app store until they get it right - that alone would save potential users literally hours of frustration.....Version: 6.17.38
✓ In app charges not appliedSeveral times have paid for app and not received credit. Tried to submit a claim and app says never paid. I have invoice from Apple showing charges..Version: 6.19.101
✓ Does not work, don't buy.Paid , installed , created account, no repeaters listed in my area. There are at least 4 repeaters in my area. It's a total fail for me. Give me my money back please..Version: 6.17.38
✓ App appears broken for iOSPurchased and installed. Worked for a few hours then quit. Acted as if it couldn’t reach the server. Deleted and reinstalled with no change. Tried messaging the company with no reply and no one listed in store. Link to company website doesn’t work either. Seems to be a waste of $12..Version: 6.19.101
✓ Does not workI purchased this app to be able to check repeaters as I traveled. The repeaters that it shows close to me, in MT, are in Belgium and Texas! I cannot change location to check, does not recognize town names. The map is about half a world off..Version: 6.19.101
✓ No repeaters foundTried to pull up a list of repeaters nearby and app says there are none. The lat/lon and maidenhead are correct. Work around. Go to repeater list and drag window down/release..Version: 6.17.38
