4/5Great start, needs a few features
I really appreciate what the dev has done here. Until this, only the one (beta, buggy) app allows for a direct allstar node connection. Anyway, this one works! Some wants in a perfect world: The watch app lacks the ability to hear through its speaker, and is merely a simple one-way PTT for the phone(Apple restriction). It'd be cool have more sorting for the large repeater list, and a last heard map/list which would be really useful. Another feature would be listen-only mode or just a dialer where I can connect to ASL nodes with allstar's codes like *72 etc... most of the nodes I regularly connect to like WinSys and hubnet error out with "Rejected: No authority found". I think the hub owners have blocked this type of client (and not DVSwitch which is weird). In any case, great effort by the dev and looking forward to seeing what it can become. Update after reading dev response: most of the issues here are Apple's restrictions. Oh, Apple.

4/5Crashes sometimes, interrupting calls
This app will occasionally crash, disconnecting you from the call you're in. It also failed to load the list of stations for the first several times I tried to load that. It also sometimes randomly disconnects (possibly correlated to network changes) without crashing, and is silent for several seconds before indicating that it's disconnected. Audio quality is good when it does work, but it's too unreliable, so I'm back to using EchoLink for now. Also the ability to search for nodes by location like the EchoLink app has would be very useful, the list of nodes tends to be too long to be useful to scroll through if you don't already know exactly which one you want.

5/5An amazing app that keeps everyone connected
I really enjoy this app and love the fact that it is very stable, you can talk directly with people on the radio on the other end. And while you have the ability to talk with everyone anywhere in the world, I wish they would at least orginize in some way an optimal way to orginize the nodes at least by location or perhaps group chat. I am not dinging them for that though, it just makes it more difficult to get going. With that being said, I'm not techie enough to even attempt a node, I'ld never be able to get it going. Fabulous tool.

5/5Finally!! iOS version has been made!
This is an excellent program and special thanks to WES for making this happen! Important note for those beta testing, 26.2 has broken this app. Do not update your phone to beta versions until they get this resolved. KA4EPS

3/5Finally, a way to connect to Allstar on an iPhone plus it's fully voiceover accessible.
It's great to finally have a way to connect to Allstar when I am traveling and can't bring a radio and node with me. This app is very user friendly, and most important, this developer took time to work with the Blind community and make sure that it is fully voiceover accessible. Kudos to developers like these. Very much worth the price.
