"As an active ARES member, the BLE TNC integration is a game-changer for my field operations. Being able to beacon my position and track my team directly on my iPad without needing a cellular connection is critical for our search and rescue missions. It is the most reliable tool in my mobile kit."

"I've used the aprs.fi website for years, and this official app brings that same power to my iPhone with a much smoother interface. The telemetry graphs for my home weather station look fantastic on the Retina display, and Dark Mode is perfect for late-night monitoring in the radio shack."
