RFinder WW Repeater Directory

For the first few weeks the app worked great and I was actually very happy with it. However, it eventually stopped working all together. I open the app and nothing appears in the list. I’ve tried messing with settings to get results in the list and nothing works. I reached out to the developer and after a few emails I finally got a response. They asked for screenshots but didn’t say of what. I screenshot everything and emailed all of the images and haven’t heard anything since. I downloaded “RepeaterBook” for free and I get almost everything I need right from there. I barely ever right these things, but I can’t help but to warn any potential subscribers of what they’re getting themselves into.

I recently purchased the app, which worked flawlessly. I couldn't get my login to work on the website. I decided that I would send an email to support and explain my trouble, this was on a Saturday. I fully expected to possibly have a reply the following week. I was very surprised and extremely impressed to have a reply a few hours later. I was given a few suggestions to try. When I got home on Sunday I logged into the website and everything worked perfect. I sent an email to RFinder support thanking Bob for his assistance and excellent customer service. Once again to my surprise, within minutes I had a reply from Bob. I am very impressed at the usefulness and ease of this app. I would most definitely recommend the RFinder app and company to everyone. Dave KB7RLN

I had downloaded this app because RFinder was endorsed by the ARRL (American Radio Relay League), the national organization for amateur radio operators. The app's default mode seems to display repeaters based on current GPS coordinates. The one snag I had was figuring out how to search for repeaters in other areas without having to input latitude and longitude coordinates (i.e., Washington, DC). There is a menu at the bottom of the display screen for repeater list but searching on location is not an option there. However, pressing "Menu" in the upper left corner of the screen opens tabbed menus in a column and selecting Override Location leads to a screen allowing for searching based on city and state or coordinates. This app is handy for locating nearby repeaters but also for distant repeaters so that data can be programmed ahead of time, anticipating travel to that area. Price is reasonable and consists of a yearly updated subscription. Oh, tech support is fantastic, as the author responded promptly (within an hour or so - I didn't actually time the response) to my question. A must-have app if you need repeater data at your fingertips and left your directory at home. Earl (Sandy) Stradtman, Jr. KM4SSS
