User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★ Great inexpensive utility
Remarkably well thought out display of information for the NCDXF beacon system. The tiny white dot on the map for the current beacon is a nice touch. I'd like to see an az-eq map (centered on my location), with terminator overlay, but that's asking a lot for the price!
Runs nicely on my iPhone-original. Minor problem: if I allow BeaconAid to use my location (enabled in Settings), I'm repeatedly shwon the "Current Location Unavailable" message when my phone is in a No Service zone.
★★★★★ Just What I Needed
Danny: Thanks for creating this app! It compares very well with the much more expensive ($100) beacon clock that MFJ makes, and the price is certainly right! This is especially useful for me because I spend more time operating HF mobile than at home. Having this is my pocket is especially convenient then.

Great, professionally done, low cost App. Brings together the right data in a very useful, intuitive way! I agree with another reviewer who feels an az-eq map would be a fabulous touch, but the beam heading is a very nice capability, and more than good enough for such a low cost app! -Joe
