Aprs.fi Pros

✓ App works great, Developer is always doing updates.App works great, and the developer is always working to update the app. When iOS 13 came out on beta it broke the system with google maps. I emailed the developer and he responded pretty much right away saying he is working towards a fix. Two weeks later a new update and its working. Great job with the application. And it works with Darkmode. Pretty great app, worth the purchase price. VE7PMD.FischkinVersion: 1.9.3

✓ Works wellGreat app. Works well whether using to see APRS from own radio, or looking for other ham output or checking internet weather stations. Many thanks!.Davey-waveyVersion: 1.9.2

Aprs.fi Cons

✗ Please add messagingThe app works flawlessly! However, not being able to send messages when using a Mobilinkd TNC is very frustrating. I would give it 5 stars but without messaging built in the app I can only give it 3..Doug RehderVersion: 1.9.3

✗ BuggyIt's a cool app .., if it wasn't so buggy, freezing between screens , app closes for whatever reason, locked on settings screen and couldn't get out no matter what I did , had to delete and download again, and all for 6$ ! Not worth it , don't do it ... Take your 6$ and buy a coffee or 2 and a snack ..better deal ...Hardtack(the original )Version: 1.1.0

• Favourite stations can be starred in the station details view, after which they will appear in the Favourites list in the search view. They'll also magically synchronise with multiple devices, as well as the aprs.fi web site - tap the "star" button....
