iTAK App Reviews

Kudos to the TAK Product Center! My Community Emergency Response Team would benefit greatly from iTAK. However, we operate in areas that lack cellular and wi-fi networks. While ATAK on Android can use Meshtastic to overcome this, iTAK on iPhone/iPad still cannot. As an iPhone and Apple Watch user, iTAK with Meshtastic support would be awesome for me any many of my CERT members. If possible, please prioritize this enhancement. Thanks!

Worked great, then wouldn't let me open it, so i tried to delete it and redownload it, but now it won't let me download it

When I’m at the dispatch station and I sent someone a message, they do not get a notification, this app says to go into notifications and modify I check, but it does not appear to be in the notification section of the iPhone. Update: uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the issue

Works well for my team when hooked to the server. Needs to allow for integration of Meshtastic, beartooth, goTenna to really be useful.

Nice looking app and seems to have the basic functionality in line but would definitely benefit from tx/rx capabilities through Meshtastic or other open source devices like ATAK does. It’s a bummer to have to keep an android phone around and charged just to have full TAK functionality

I’ve been following this project for a while. There have been leaps & bounds. While there is still some to be desired with iTAK. It is a great option & allows compatibility with the TAK servers. I would like to see this become as fully capable as ATAK some day. Right now I currently wish that I could upload packages to the server from iTAK. One bug I noticed is that even if I’ve read a message through the chat tool, the notification still shows until I go to notifications to read it. It would be

I really like the concept and overall it’s pretty well done. One issue I have is when creating a point of interest I am unable to rename it from the default. I can change the coordinates, add comments, and add a photo but the window will not allow me to scroll up to access the name. Quite frustrating as this seems like a minor coding issue but it makes it difficult to determine what a point represents without clicking on it.

Not as good as ATAK. You can’t copy paste grids you mark at all, and the icons remain inconsistent with the ATAK version. No ability to configure icon sizes either so you have a ton of huge icons. Team markers also don’t display their name unless you zoom in really close. Fine if you have to use it on your iPhone

So far I’m unable to pull up contacts and I don’t see where I can add others to my team. Am I missing something?

The latest update causes and issue when connected to a server and trying to download video urls from the server, duplicate servers show up in the select a sever window and when you select the server available video streams that are on the server and working on atak will now load.

I’d like a detailed review on how to add people in a group cause I’m finding it hard to do so

I’ve been using this app for the better part of about 6 months now and from my experience it has provided me with anything I’ve needed it for A little background about me I’ve been involved with Search & Rescue going on 7 Years through FEMA, Civil Air Patrol, and the Lone Star S&R Response Team. I’ve been an MRO (Mission Radio Operator) and Ground Crew RTO (Radio Telephone Operator) these are the situations I’ve had use with the App for. With that being said there is always room for improvemen

It’s cool to have something like the ATAK on iPhone, but it’s still in development for some needed things. One of the main things is that it runs in Apple Maps, but Apple Maps is severely out dated and the area has changed. It would be nice to run on google maps or something more updated

We really need a windows version of tak server asap.

The apps works and runs as it should, but I wish that the Meshtastic plugin was preloaded into it.

I don’t know what exactly I was expecting, but the satellite shots over my house indicate that the shots are 4+ years old viewing the set up in my landscape. With this information in mind, the app seems hardly worth while.

Love the idea of this app but I cannot figure out how to upload use or make offline maps. I tried downloading a bunch of different map files that didn’t work. Saw on these reviews you need a mbmaptile format and found a file I could use. But it says the file is too large. Some guy on YouTube figured it out but never explained how. Just shows him using the uploaded maps.
