User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★☆ Works with TH-D75
I tried this program out years ago but shifted to just using APRS.FI instead. But I recently picked up a Kenwood TH-D75 HT and BB link Bluetooth translator. Pocket Packet will communicate with KISS Bluetooth modems with the BB Link dongle just fine.
★★★★★ Needs installed TWICE.
As suggested by a review below (in 2014) - the app does not work until deleted and reinstalled. After an hour of puzzling, I tried this and now am seeing a fully populated map and was able to send SMS via APRS-IS. Sweet!
★★★★★ Works well.
Just downloaded it. Had it up and operating in a matter of minutes. Sent a command message to a digipeater 300 miles away and received the correct reply in a minute. Works well and I recommend it. You'll need an aprs authorization access code to message.
★★★★★ Excellent APRS app for Hams
Using a UV82 and an iPhone 5 connected with the BTech K2 cable. Beaconing, Receiving, Messaging. Exactly what I was looking for. Please keep developer support of this app, it’s the only one of its kind on iOS. Maybe add the SmartBeaconing algorithm to beacon intervals.
★★★★☆ App works like it says

This is one if the few apps that will let you transmit APRS data. Seems to work so far. I haven't used all the features yet but in the messages section you can only send 64 characters. What’s that about? That really limits what kind of message you can send. I would at least expect 120 or 240 characters like other APRS programs. Other than that it works like it says
