User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★ Fantastic
Coming from Android, this app does everything that APRSDroid did for me. I would highly recommend it! It needs to be better advertised!
★★★☆☆ Owned for years
This is would be a 5 star app if it were updated to maintain compatibility with iOS.
* It doesn’t work in the background anymore.
* The microphone-based packet decoding essentially doesn’t work with any consistency.
* Can’t easily beacon; aside from adjusting the interval
This app is **so** close to excellence, but misses the mark year after year.
★★★★☆ 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.
