RepeaterBook

This is a must have for any HAM. You can use this app anywhere in the country to find a repeater near you. Set the range out further for a road trip and find the repeaters in your direction of travel. The information is very accurate. This is a great way to meet new people and work repeaters around the country. It’s good for your local area too. Maybe you were not aware that someone had a 10 meter repeater not too far from you. Share the app with other people so they can enjoy it as much as you will!

So the author now has added the ability to find repeaters using grid squares. You have got to be kidding. So now you need to look on a map using an archaic way of finding where a county or some logical geographic location is in order to locate repeaters. One star. Previous review: App has been through several updates but still has the same problem. While the database appears to be reasonably accurate, the app still defaults to using my gps location to find repeaters. I cannot choose a location to search for repeaters. If I'm traveling to a town 300 miles away I don't want to wait until I get there to locate repeaters. The app should have a way for the user to optionally enter a starting location instead of defaulting to your GPS. Lost a star.😫

This is a must need if you are a ham radio operator or just listening to your scanner! I could never figure out the names of our local repeaters, now I have all of them and more! I have put up a repeater recently and am waiting for the app to be updated so it will show my station, last update was 2 months ago, also, sometimes words will run off of the screen if a title is too long, otherwise, it’s a great tool!!

I loved repeaterbook before...but the new update is amazing! Lot cleaner than it was before and easier to use. The only thing I would suggest is putting names for each field when you click on a repeater like it was on the old version. I know what each field is, but for a new-comer it might be a little difficult to figure out. Great job on this update!

This app has improved continually and is recommended. Unfortunately there is the issue of reliable updates to ensure accuracy and a better search and find process to identify repeaters within bands and service types. While the search function is huge leap it’s still hard to rely on because of having to first check off service and band types which are unknown to begin. I recommend the use of color to separate FM DMR etc. Readers can submit new found repeaters.
