SOTA Goat App Reviews

…with 2 small additions: 1) Adding the ability to filter the list of spots and alerts, for instance by region or band. 2) When a user clicks on a spot or alert, including a map of the summit’s location on the spot or alert detail page, instead making the user click More Information, bouncing him or her to the summit’s SOTA profile, and making them click again to choose a map source.

I am not complaining here, just sharing. On 9/25/2021 using version 1.6.3 on iOS 15, I tried to create a New Alert, filled in the information, and clicked save. I then got a screen full of error messages.

This app is a fantastic SOTA tool. If it had the ability to filter alerts/spots by association and/or other data points it would be 5 star perfect.

Love the app and use it for every SOTA. Two complaints: 1. The band selector scroll wheel on the Spots screen is terrible on my iPhone 12. I can't see what band is selected because the lower window covers up the scroll wheel. I have to use SOTA Watch to spot as a workaround. 2. I wish I could filter alerts and spots. I'm only FM for now, so the long list of foreign and HF alerts and spots is just clutter for me. Awesome app. Keep the updates coming! 73
