Aprs.fi for Positive User Reviews
✓ 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.Version: 1.9.3
✓ Needs improvementThe app SHOULD be able to automatically detect where I am and bring it up on the map, not show me Helsinki EVERY time I use the app. It is quite annoying & disappointing..Version: 2.4.1
✓ GreatI respectfully disagree with G1CVR. This is a great app and does what I need it to do. IE I can beacon without trouble and can view a map of who else is about. The one issue for me is having the 'Beacon Now' link so close to the 'Delete Account' link. That is just asking for trouble. Change that and it is a five star app from me. Much nicer than the overpriced APRSpro 73 de G7BHE..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Needs Offline Maps!Overall this is a great app! Happy that it now supports the Mobilinkd TNC. I’ll upgrade to a subscription when offline maps are supported. Until then, APRSdroid will be my “go to” app for off-roading with APRS. When offline maps are supported (preferably using OSM maps), please make it possible to download large areas (e.g., states) in detail instead of the tiny areas that many map apps provide..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Very Good ApBetter than the iPhone version, but not as good as the web site. I still use it regularly though!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Wonderful aprs appVery detailed info on the real time APRS environment worldwide Many thanks to all those who made this work so well.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Looks good make an apple watch mini-port plsI am just beginning my experimentation with APRS, and this app looks at least as good as any of the rest but if you could add an apple watch app, or mini-app, companion for the phone, that would be cool..Version: 2.5.3
✓ Great app!I’ve used this app for almost 5 years. I think I had one issue over that time and the developer had that fixed in less than 24 hours and he is the one that found the problem. I have no complaints as this is a great app! de KA5MTE.Version: 2.4.1
✓ AmazingOne of the best iPhone ham apps.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Always worksWe travel extensively around the country and this app is always reliable. A+++ for sure. KX4U.Version: 2.0.4
✓ Good app, just needs true Smart Beaconing.Good app, works well with Bluetooth TNC (TNC3). It’s given very few issues in over a year of use in a mobile setting. Only real nitpick is that it lacks a true Smart Beacon mode that adjusts to actual speed and turns. The beacon every minute while mobile and 30 minutes while stationary is OK, but not as flexible. Add Smart Beaconing and I’d give it 5 stars..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great appI do like this app, I realize that it doesn’t transmit to the IS servers but that’s coming in a future update. I do like to use it to see where other hams are at. Will be nice when messaging comes..Version: 1.9.3
✓ Rating reviewThis meets my expectations entirely..Version: 1.4.0
✓ FantasticJust getting into DMR and APRS - super helpful to be able to make this app part of the party.Version: 2.4.1
✓ It just worksWorks perfectly great for tracking wed and SOTA activators.Version: 1.8.1
✓ MM6LNBExcellent app on the iPhone..Version: 1.6.6
✓ Well DoneGreat app. Works well in every feature except allowing iGate functionality even through a TNC. Add that and the power of APRS will double ten fold..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Link to Kenwood TH-D74App works as advertised. I’m new to the iPad/iOS world. The install went smoothly and the graphics look great. My question: If I purchase the additional package will I be able to connect to my Kenwood TH-D74 handheld via Bluetooth. If it can will all the app features work. Messages, beaconing, etc.? 73, KB5FSG.Version: 2.3.2
✓ Great app, just one option missingGreat app, much easier than trying to use the aprs.fi site on mobile, however please can you add an option to switch off the blue “my position” icon? Often this obscures my last packet (say if I have just pulled up) and makes clicking on it impossible. Thanks!.Version: 1.6.6
✓ APRSWorks great ...... love you it . Use it everyday ..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Bravo. !!!Depuis des années, que j’apprécie cette application. Merci. VE2KG. Québec,Canada.Version: 2.5.3
✓ The bestHands down one of the best APRS apps on the market. Easiest to use and has every feature you could want or need. Was hesitant to pay with all the other free options out there but I’m glad I took the plunge..Version: 1.6.6
✓ A well supported APRS appsAt least, an app that is still updated by developers and by keeping it up to date with latest iOS version..Version: 1.8.1
✓ FantasticWorks fantastic for me, it enables me to update my location so friends and family know where I am. Also with comments let them know what I am doing..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Great, but I have one big issueI love how easy this app is to use, but my big gripe is that I can’t use this app with vox on my radio. As soon as I launch the app, the radio just starts transmitting, and doesn’t stop. I have tried the PulseModem app, and it works great with vox, I don’t know what the difference is in how the apps handle the audio, but it would be great if something could be changed to make this work, because the layout of this app is easier to use in my opinion..Version: 2.4.1
✓ MFantastic both for WX and aprs.Version: 1.8.1
✓ What it says and more.Great app and worth paying for..Version: 1.1.0
✓ PsychologistExcellent ..... utilise it....especially when san is on an extended trip.Version: 2.3.2
✓ Wasn’t sure it was workingUsually it works well, but today it said that the service could not be reached even though I was told that it was beaconing..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Great HAM AppThis is a great amateur radio application I use so my family can track my status when I hike..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Working great.Always have to say thankyou to those who stay committed to helping amateurs and make it interesting and fun..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Promising APRS AppAs far as I know, this is the only iOS app for APRS that supports an external TNC. The only TNC it supports to my knowledge is the latest Mobilinkd Bluetooth TNC. As the only such app, it’s great and I’m happy somebody’s developing a good APRS app for iOS. My only complaint is how limited it is - no messaging, no object, nothing APRS supports beyond position reporting. Hopefully this is made part of the app in future editions..Version: 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!.Version: 1.9.2
✓ Works greatI have used this app for years. Now got the Mobilinkd version 3. Works with my iphone.Version: 1.9.2
✓ Love ItNow my radio is sending correctly (Yaesu FTM-400) I show up on the map. I want my 98 year old Dad to be able to track me when on the road. Works great..Version: 1.9.3
✓ Very Informative and useful.I use it for weather information and position tracking for aprs balloon experiments..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Works very wellI really enjoy working with all aspects of APRS. I really wish that there would be a away of being able to delete messages in bulk instead of one at a time..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great appOne of the fastest loading apps well worth the money..Version: 1.6.6
✓ RF OnlyI was able to post my position and exchange messages while not having any internet access. I was in a group that helicoptered into a remote location were there was no cell service. I was able to receive APRS signals from my location, make a contact, and exchange messages. Tried to establish voice, but was unable. My phone worked well as a monitor for displaying the data etc from my handheld radio..Version: 2.3.0
✓ An Essential iOS App for HamsIf you have a MobiLink TNC and an iPhone, this app is a no brainer. I’ve used it on road trips, SOTA activations, and even to check into Winlink Wednesday when I couldn’t hit a Winlink gateway. Would love to see offline maps in a future update..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Great app!Great app, glad to be supporting the site, just getting into HAM and SDR. One request would be an alternative app icon, cars are a bane! Give the rail minded among us some love!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Works every timeI’m mystified at reviews that give this app anything less than 5 stars. It delivers as promised and works every time..Version: 1.6.8
✓ Edit: no longer supports iOS 10Original below. I was delighted when the TNC modem was introduced but having paid for the additional functionality last year, the app no longer works on my old iPhone 5 (iOS 10) which I had dedicated for APRS for RAYNET. So now my main phone has to be tied up as a TNC. A retrograde step IMHO. {I have been using Aprs.fi for several years now and found the app to have worked faultlessly on iPhone 5 and 6 for beaconing during RAYNET operations and more recently for personal use whilst out cycling the tracks and greenways during lockdown. Having the map running on the iPad at home gives my wife the reassurance of knowing where I am, just in case.....} de G8HKS.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Great Little AppI really appreciate it when a developer takes time to develop an app for a niche market. Paid version is a bargain. Many Hams complain that they need to pay a few bucks to support the hobby. If you want features and ongoing development be prepared to pay..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Awesome app!Super intuitive and easy to use. Breadcrumb/tracking feature is much appreciated..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great app for aprsI’ve used this app for some time. It has matured nicely and is the best aprs app by a mile. If you also use the aprs.fi website it’s a great way to support the developer..Version: 2.3.2
✓ ReviewBrilliant app highly recommend it and does everything it says..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Gm7urdHave been using this app for a few years now and as i have several aprs apps on the phone i can say that this is always the first if not only one i open. others perform different functions. this app lets you see historical snapshot of the last few hours which i think is a lot better that the others that when you open them just let you see the current incoming aprs positions. for example if i go out into countryside and have no phone or wifi signal and i want to know retrospectively if my rf beacons have been received then this is the only app that enable this. beaconing from the app itself is very simple and unlike the other aprs apps doesnt crash the phone or make it laggey. very smooth to operating and very good menu features also..Version: 1.8.1
✓ AprsWorks good to see where a friend is or checking weather on weather stations.Version: 2.3.2
✓ AprsVery good app. Use it while hiking so my family can monitor my location..Version: 1.6.6
✓ Awesome App Must Have for HAM!Works extremely well, must have for any ham! Developer work extremely hard..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Excellent App for APRSI have been using this app since its first release. Great app to use, easy to do what you want and with improvements over time. Well supported by the author unlike many APRS apps that are soon have support or updates abandoned by the author. Recommended to iOS users..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Not for remote useLove it but…why do need to be connected to the internet to send an APRS message? This goes counter to the advantage Amateur Radio gives, and emergency communications. Fortunately you can see local radio stations without wifi. The message restriction is for me a huge issue which has been intentionally not included. Why?.Version: 2.4.1
✓ APRS.FIThe best app of the lot..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Takes a while to masterIt takes a while to master but is useful for public service events..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Excellent!Perfect cheap way to get started with APRS. This plus a btech APRS cable (or make your own) and you’re up and running. I used an old iPhone without a SIM card, this app, and an old HT and it’s working wonders. Yes, there’s an additional fee for the built in TNC/modem and other features, but it’s well worth it - especially if you compare it to purchasing a physical TNC..Version: 2.3.0
✓ MrThis is a great Program now and it’s updated really heaps since the first time I was told about this handy Communication app and Weather. Anywhere in the World including Russia and Everywhere. Also has shipping Routes so Thanks 🙏 Very Much for taking the time to Create this Great Program for internet and Everyone that likes to use this app..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Works great. Intuitive and full featuredApp has everything I need with an easy to use UI..Version: 1.6.6
✓ Please addI’m using the app with a Mobilinkd TNC3. I’m finding the interface to be easy to use and straight forward. I would like to see the ability to send and receive APRS messages as well as straight packet..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Good ThingWorks extremely well..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Great programDoes exactly what it says. Works great with my TNC. I just wish I had an application that would support digital modes for APRS messenger on Apple IOS. Now that would be awesome!.Version: 1.9.3
✓ Start screen wishHi, Thanks for a GREAT product. Is it possible to quit the app and when restarted, resume where it was previously? Every time I start the app it starts in Europe, not the the same continent where is shut down. Thanks Again Dwight.Version: 2.3.2
✓ Aprs.fi quick reviewPretty happy with this app, good job. One issue I do have is that it only stays running in the background for a day or two. It would be nice to set and forget the app rather than having to open it every day to make sure it's awake. Not that my phone does not get turned off at all. Good work team, keep it up..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Pretty good, but a little expensiveThe app does what it’s supposed to do, but not sure the luxury of a dedicated app versus the website is worth a full $7…just my thoughts. Aside from that, I love it…works great.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Actually works!!I was having issues with other apps but this one works for me. I got the app for $7 and for $7 a year I get all functionality in the app, not a bad price. Definitely recommend to get into APRS. I’m using a baofeng BF-F8HP connected to my VHF/UHF Ed-fong J-pole on the roof and it’s working well. Aswell as the B-Tech cable..Version: 2.3.1
✓ GreatVery good application 🤓.Version: 2.3.0
