I really wish that it had a way to automate the transmission of images. for example, you select a folder and one by one it transmits the images. I use it to transmit radar images to my other phone via radio. very good app, add more support!

I downloaded after seeing it work on YouTube. however all I have is a ht. reading some other reviews I see others are using it with their ht. I wanted to ask them how. have a uv 5r. sadly I picked up android just for this purpose. and you can't comment or ask questions on comments in play store. Not huge fan. can't even see where you can just receive without sending. also there is no users manual leaving newbies ideas which is best mode to use. if anyone knows how to help... please?

I love this app, usually apps like this you have to pay for it, the one thing I wish it had is the robot 16 protocol, but, again, decent interface, you don't have to pay for it, so I don't really have any complaints
