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.

I want to give 5 stars because it’s a great app so far, but my only complaint is the audio seems to be less than fully baked. I get only about half volume coming from all of the speakers on my phone regardless of what speaker is actually selected. In fact, trying to change from one speaker to another mutes the entire app and the only way to get even limited volume back is to restart the call. This may not be an issue for everyone – not sure. I’m on iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16.1.1 on most recent app version as of this writing.

I want to start off by saying this app is absolutely fabulous. This fills the entire IAX hole for iPhone brilliantly. Just one potential bug to report. We have a system around here that uses private nodes instead of public allstarlink nodes. I can make the IAX connection to them fine by adding it with node authentication in the favorites menu, but after I unkey when I talk with the app the node stays keyed as if I am still transmitting. The only way to stop it is to drop the connection. It looks on Supermon, like I never stopped transmitting but the audio is cut off. Other than that this app is perfect.
