Samsung S4 i9506 best update so far This app started out slow, but it seems with feedback, has really come a long way. So overall, its a great simple to use app, if you want to send an APRS beacon over a data plan, or to remotely control the Digitracker tnc over bluetooth, ITS GREAT!

Very cool APRS app for HF! Very clever to use PSK, MFSK or GMSK for APRS. I look forward to connecting it to my FT857D. I can only test using my phone with a data connection to the internet and in that mode it works. I don't have the appropriate TNC. It is on the list but rather far out at the moment. In lieu of another TNC, the one additional feature I would like is to be able to use my Wolphi-link Interface. It plugs right into my headphone/mic port on phone and my data port on my radio. Thanks for the app!

APRS Messenger: I've only used it as a stand-alone application on my Samsung Galaxy S5, and it works awesome, getting into the APRS-IS!
★★☆☆☆
Poor - Not Usable Be aware, this requires their Bluetooth digi, NOT usable as a standalone app to use for APRS messaging without their Bluetooth digi TNC
★★☆☆☆
I entered my valid call sign and pass code Won't work. Keeps asking for a valid call sign and APRS pass code.
