Description
APRS is the Automatic Packet Reporting System used by Amateur Radio operators across the world. APRS Mobile brings the world of APRS to your phone or tablet via APRS-IS (internet) servers with its built in map engine, Internet connection and GPS. APRS Mobile gives you access to beacon your position and view other Amateur Radio operators anywhere in the world.
Non-amateur radio operators may view Amateur Radio APRS activity and amateur weather station data around the world.

Mikerey,
Works great and then it just won't work
Works great and then it just won't work. I wanted something dependable to use while doing events motorcycle do that our Communications Command station can track me.
Well, tested this several times. Not consistent.
At $4.99, I expect this to be very consistent and operational.
Bunch of crap at times. Great at other times. Now I have it tracking me in truck for past hour and it stopped tracking 30 min ago. Why? I don't know.
No direct support email or contact via app or App Store.
What? They don't care?
Fix this and upgrade it, please.

Most modern design but still missing features
In iOS's attempt to get on APRSDroid's level, this comes nowhere close.
This is the most modern of the iOS APRS apps, so it isn't burdened by older generation art and graphics.
It's the only iOS app that supports SmartBeaconing, and allows you to set all parameters. However, corner pegging does not work as long as I have used it...so that just puts it even with the other APRS apps.
It doesn't report altitude or allow you to use any telemetry or weather.
Its missing messaging and a packet soundmodem. If it has those features it would basically be APRSDroid.
Often when using Google Maps or waze, all APRS apps will stop beaconing without notice including this one.
Also, a huge gripe of mine is background tracking EVEN AFTER CLOSING the app from the drawer. To fully prevent it from using your location you must disallow it in iOS privacy settings. You may be able to prevent it by turning high drain mode off, smartbeaconing off, and closing the app.
Also what's pedestrian resolution? I haven't seen a difference or found an explanation yet.
Finally, the author mentions this app is for tracking and data only, not including main APRS features. That's nonsensical. To incorporate the features of this app into OpenAPRS would be both ideal and trivial.

303SnowWolf,
Doesn't have an audio modem!
This app is fine for the weekender HAM that doesn't actually own a radio, but if you're looking to use it as a TNC to beacon your location or receive APRS where there isn't a cell signal, look elsewhere. The whole point of APRS is it works without cell reception; where I need APRS and where I have cell are mutually exclusive. Also, even if it did have an audio modem, the lack of messaging makes it especially worthless and against the spirit of APRS. APRS is much, much more than just position reporting, which is all this app does, and it does it poorly. Waste of money.
Jben in MS,
Not quite there
Needs messaging capabilities between stations in order to be useful as an APRS program. Please add this feature.
rAllcorn,
This app doesn’t work!
I tried using all the features and functions on this app, it while it’s great for reporting my position it show me absolutely no one on the map at any time. This was NOT a cheap app. I want to try to the sport link to get support, it errors out… It makes me wonder where my money is going, and for what?
Save your money and go to something different…

Updated Does work with iOS 11
Update 26 September 2017
Received note from ops that Apple was wrong. So, tried it today and DOES work on iOS 11. As such back to five stars.
— — — —
Per iTunes this is a 32 bit program and will not work with iOS 11.
Tried going to developers webpage to see if they had plans to update but web page appears dead. Worked ok when in cellular range.

The best app for APRS
This is my third try to get a review posted. Briefly, after the update this is definitely the best APRS app. Bug-free, and accurate. Great help files too!

iPOS User,
Smartbeaconing doesn't appear to work
Since the entire app works on the smartbeaconing premise, for which this app doesn't appear to catch turns, your APRS tracks are spotty. Big, big, big disappointment with this app after using APRSdroid for years.

New APRS User
I have this on my iPhone and have connected it to a transceiver, but cannot see my station on an APRS map. It would be helpful to have a user guide. Does this relate to Open APRS?
Use This,
HUGE PIECE OF CRAP!!
I try to search for my buddy in San Angelo,Tx while I'm in San Antonio and it can't find my him. I try to shrink the map to include San Angelo and the app locks up and it takes forever to force close the app!! Then there is no email for app support!! You click on app support in this area and all it does is take you to a website FAQ!!! REALLY????
I was using iBCNU before and it was excellent!! Then google turned off the map API and screwed that up. APRS.fi website is even shut down on google maps.
This is the biggest piece of garbage EVER!!!!
I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!
