This app will occasionally crash, disconnecting you from the call you're in. It also failed to load the list of stations for the first several times I tried to load that. It also sometimes randomly disconnects (possibly correlated to network changes) without crashing, and is silent for several seconds before indicating that it's disconnected. Audio quality is good when it does work, but it's too unreliable, so I'm back to using EchoLink for now. Also the ability to search for nodes by locat
This is a really nice value alternative that does not require any expensive special hardware other than a phone. Just set your credentials and you are on the air.
Takes amateur radio to a new level.
I wish I could see the total number of people connected to the node even before I connect. Thanks for the app.
I really enjoy this app and love the fact that it is very stable, you can talk directly with people on the radio on the other end. And while you have the ability to talk with everyone anywhere in the world, I wish they would at least orginize in some way an optimal way to orginize the nodes at least by location or perhaps group chat. I am not dinging them for that though, it just makes it more difficult to get going. With that being said, I'm not techie enough to even attempt a node, I'ld never
Love this app great work.
Very smooth running. My only wish would be the inclusion of the CQ function as was added to the original EchoLink app. Otherwise, a pleasure to use.
This is the best app as of right now! So happy on how it performs on both EchoLink and on Allstar. It’s so amazing how smooth and easy this app cooperates like a simple walk in the park! Thank you for releasing such a well thought out application.
This is an excellent program and special thanks to WES for making this happen! I would like to report a bug, and I have not been able to find any means of doing so. When connecting locally to a private node, Supermon stops reporting during the connection. Once I disconnect, everything returns on all allmon. If I connect via AllStar network, it’s OK. It’s an interesting bug but I wanted to report it. KA4EPS
I want to start off by saying this app is absolutely fabulous. This fills the entire IAX hole for iPhone brilliantly. Just one potential bug to report. We have a system around here that uses private nodes instead of public allstarlink nodes. I can make the IAX connection to them fine by adding it with node authentication in the favorites menu, but after I unkey when I talk with the app the node stays keyed as if I am still transmitting. The only way to stop it is to drop the connection. It look
This amazing app has worked flawlessly for me and I LOVE it! After all the amateur radio enjoyment RepeaterPhone has given me and continues to give me, I would pay 10 times the price and still consider it a good value.
I was away from home and wanted to connect to my local repeaters via AllStarLink, this is absolutely perfect when you are not in range of another linked repeater.
The application is extremely intuitive to use. I am looking forward to further development on customizing menus, and perhaps push to talk features. Future additions, such as audio mixers would be extremely helpful. Being able to adjust more than just audio gain would be helpful. Overall, very satisfied with the application at this point.
I want to give 5 stars because it’s a great app so far, but my only complaint is the audio seems to be less than fully baked. I get only about half volume coming from all of the speakers on my phone regardless of what speaker is actually selected. In fact, trying to change from one speaker to another mutes the entire app and the only way to get even limited volume back is to restart the call. This may not be an issue for everyone – not sure. I’m on iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16.1.1 on most recent app ve
I would like to communicate with the writer of this app. I can go into Directory and find an Allstar node but it will not let me in. I can go to EchoLink and find a link which will connect.... but.. when I put that node into the favorites, it will not connect.
Transmit and receive audio is great works as advertised just wish we could use a push to talk in the spirit of using the radio. With push to talk in mind, will the developer of this app be making a app for android and utilize the push to talk on android device?
I really enjoy this app and so much I had my friend get it as well😤 Three of us have it now. K7MMA Myself KK9HAM Albin K7JJP Jim Well worth the $7.99 Michael K7MMA
I run a node with Allstar and EchoLink at my QTH and I must say this is an amazing app!! I take this app with me every I go, and so far it has not let me down. I am able to connect to my Allstar node and my EchoLink just by toggling between Allstar or EchoLink in the app. I’ve been waiting for this for a while now, and the developer has worked hard in getting this up and running .great job!!
This is an excellent app, and I truly appreciate the voiceover support and the accessibility. Thanks for thinking of blind hams!
I really like this app. Finally I can remotely connect, monitor and even talk via iOS! I use on my iPhone and especially my iPad. Solid connection and doesn’t time out in monitor mode. Great find!
When user enters call sign and Allstar password, app reads “Account not found”. Can not get app to do anything. Don’t waste your money on this. Author has contact me and helped considerably. Upgraded to 3 stars.

Seems Repeaterphone uses node-less, unauthenticated access to hub nodes. Seems large hubs disable “allstar-public” access to block abuse. This prevents me from accessing the large southcoastreflector network I’m interested in. I confirmed with the network admin. that he has disabled “allstar-public”. Several forum posters reported these issues with this app., and the only alternative is Android based DVswitch. Appears the developer is also aware of the issue for a couple of years now, and has n
I want to like this app but I can't seem to use it without it crashing. Going back to the old free Echolink app.
Unfortunately after using this app on my iPhone for the last two months I cannot solve the constant crashing. The app has been unreliable for me.
I love to listen to different NODES and Conferences, BUT when you lock the screen it will close the connection and ends everything. Both Echolink and Allstarlink will NOT run while screen is off. Lame.. Rather go back to the Original Echolink APP and Zoiper.
