Ratings and reviews

Nice job on the app. Took some learning to figure out what I was doing, but the more I cycled through a few configurations, the more I liked it. Lots of options and controls to set up the radio for multiple use cases and scenarios. For example, can set it up for recreation, but quickly switch over to emergency services type situation with the press of a few buttons. Nice!

It's a great start, and I realize that this is newly produced by BTECH. There's a lot to be fixed though in future updates. I don't know the difference between "teams" and "groups", as this isn't made clear in the documentation. The main selling point features of the app, namely the position tracking and messaging, could be made much more simpler to use and access. I found out how to send a text message completely by accident after 15min of searching. It also need APRS integration ASAP

Firmware update check just spins and spins and never tells you if your device is up-to-date. Channel groups are still confusing, but they at least work on the app now. The old version also would occasionally paste clipboard contents when launched which is a bit concerning. No mention of it in the release notes for this version so I assume it still does. Probably want to run this on an old phone, or make sure you don't have sensitive data in your clipboard while using this app.
