APRSdroid Customer Insights

1. Otherwise great app!A good app! Bugs: 1: Long press a callsign in the message display and the box listing the options available gets smaller the closer to the top of the list the message is! 2: Says Google maps is not installed when I click on the Google map icon or the "directions to station" icon on the main map display.

2. Been perfect until latest version where Location Access no longer has option to "allow all the time" so when using the service APRSdroid doesn't have GPS access unless the app is loaded.

3. Only way I can view the map now is on aprs.fi which defeats having this app for viewing out of cell service range! Maybe it was an Android, T-Mobile, or Samsung S9 update, but it no longer works.

4. No biggie, because I wanted a dedicated device to track stations and send messages and my older phone works just fine.

5. Thank you!I installed this on an older galaxy s7 edge and it works great.

6. Only plays the default sound (Samsung S21, Android 13).I have used this app for years and it works great.

7. It doesn't get any better/easier than that! Only small hitch was the APRS-SI passcode application form does not work with Microsoft Edge so I had to switch to Chrome.

8. The developer's webpage says they have stopped supporting the app, so don't expect to get a response regarding updates.I loved this app for well over a year but a few months ago the map stopped working and it crashes the program whenever I try to view the map.

9. It does work with backcountry navigator maps.A simply brilliant App! Works as advertised.

10. Thanks!!!! Still have the same problem where you can't select allow all the time for position, which renders the app useless while driving unless you have it open on your device.

11. I used to use this app occasionally about a year ago on an older version of Android, and it was great.
