Ratings and reviews

*Pros* Simple design. Easy to use. Fun on the go for day to day when you don't have an ht or mobile with you. Great EDC as long as you have Wi-Fi or good cell signal. *Cons* Minimizing the app (swapping between another app and EchoLink) on your cell can boot you off stations. Need constant "on" option. Maybe I missed it somewhere in the settings. Attempting to login to a server will have an error message (such with ECR), yet the room isn't full. After multiple attempts, I finally get access. 73

On network radios it drops the connection and doesn't reconnect when switching cell towers or switching from WiFi to cell service and vice versa. It needs to be able to remember the last connection and reconnect the second data is restored like Zello does, because of that it's pretty useless in the car as you can't keep pressing to reconnect all the time when you're driving. Apart from that it's all good.

Awesome app... I'm a ham in the US and have made contact to hams in Southern Ireland, New Zealand, England and several States in the US. My only gripe is that I wish it worked when my phone (Note 8) is on my mobile network. currently it only works when it's connected to WiFi. Other than that, no complaints! Also, I have run it on my Acer Chromebook with no issues... Keep up the good work!
