Ratings and reviews

When people contacted me through the iridium go SMS website, I always got their texts twice. Some characters did not get translated, and often the texts were hard to decipher. Also, the app would tell me when I had new text messages but there was no way to sort the list of text messages to see who had actually sent it and I'd have to go through each contact to see if there were new messages at the end of the thread.

This app completely sucks for the amount of money you're spending on safety. Constantly dropping the wifi, logging me out, won't let me change settings. A person could literally die waiting for this to correctly work. Then to get the "information" you best have a land wifi plan in which case why do I need the Go? In addition I am constantly on with support from predict wind. I will be waiting for dishy as soon as we hit land for a while. This isn't even solid for a good back up.

Once you enter "dial" mode to make a phone call, there is no way to click back to re-enter the main menu. I have to shut down and re-launch the app. After waiting 5 mins, the app still said no Sat connection, even though it was connected on the Iridium Go device's sceewn. Again I had to exit and reopen the app before it would register for making calls. This app requires an immediate update. It's been 12 months, please update.
