Great app, works great once you figure out how to configure the radios. However, the key selling point of this app is to allow for offline communication, but there is no way to download or import maps for offline in the app. Since Apple just released an update to Apple Maps to support offline maps, I wonder if there is some way for this app to tap into that? Otherwise I'm stuck copying coordinates into another gps app to see where they are.

This app is extremely easy to use. Setup your device, connect via Bluetooth and you’re ready to go. Excellent features including node position logs, environmental logs (if setup), node control (when connected), live location view on an integrated map, ability to request a node’s location, multiple communication channels depending on configuration and direct messaging capabilities with nodes on your mesh network. Additionally, it includes numerous device configuration settings making it even easier to maintain and configure the nodes on your network. The development team is top notch! Very quick to address issues and constantly working to add additional features and capabilities and maintain overall stability. Being able to use my Meshtastic nodes within the Apple ecosystem makes it incredibly convenient. Can’t recommend this app enough!

For the most part the application is fine but the actual development cycle is extremely slow new features are implemented in a very slow fashion and the bugs took a long time to fix a few months ago that popped up which were critical in terms of not even being able to use the messaging feature the idea is great in the spirit of the application and system but the actual implementation is severely lacking there are no off-line Maps and the bugs are pretty bad not to mention the default node is now at three which used to be six
