RFinder WW Repeater Directory App Reviews

Very good help via the national telephone numbers.

Im very impressed with this app. It gives me everything I was looking for in terms of a location based repeater directory and Im sure there are other functions that I just havent discovered yet! I have only had one question that I needed to ask about subscription renewal but Bob was very quick to answer that by email. I highly recommend this app all around.

Bob helped me out quickly and professionally with a small clerical issue I had. RFinder is by far the one go-to app for repeater lookups, and is a must-have for anyone who travels. Thanks for the continued support of this great resource.

Similar format and content with free apps. Advertising touts digital repeaters are included, but there is no way to search by digital mode to find usable repeaters.

I can search by digital type and if I update a repeater, it gets updated. This one has at least 3 copies of a local repeater that has been off the air for 2 years. And information on the others is incorrect. You cant depend on it.

Had a minor log in issue, emailed customer support. A quick response and fix with a phone call on a Saturday evening. App works great. Works great with RTSystems programmer.

Easy app to use and awesome tech support.

RF Finder was a great app working very well. The latest update is having issues with location and finding repeaters. It will lose its location then will not update the location. This is making it difficult find a repeater. If it does not know where it is it cannot find a repeater. Also the new interface is more difficult to use and is not intuitive. Please consider fixing this app.

Love this app and especially how it interfaces with RTSystems software. Easy to use and great customer support for an issue I recently needed help with.

Not only is the program great but the customer support is very rapid. As it turned out the support needed was was due to an error on my part. Nice to be able to have a list of repeaters at hand. Oh. I almost forgot it integrates with RT systems radio programming software.

Was offered a special promotion if i renewed during hamvention weekend, but when i paid, the subscription never renewed. I tried to contact the app developer several times but no answer. I tried to get support through apple as well and apple could not even help. Buyer beware! My app currently says it expired may 2016, i have tried reseting it, reinstalling it, etc. nothing changed. Good luck if you try to renew a subscription.

Had a question and the developer got back to me in minutes. Fantastic app and the web companion login gives coverage maps on google earth. Amazing.

After trying several repeater directory apps, which ranged from pretty good to pretty terrible, I discovered the best so far - RFinder. I mostly wanted an app that provided repeater information well (which this does) but I was intrigued when I discovered the novel social networking aspects of this app - for example the ability to "check-in" to a repeater, or automatically announce your presence on a repeater to Twitter or Facebook. I have contacted the developer a couple of times and both times received a helpful email response answering my question in one instance and solving my problem in the other - both times within a couple of hours. I only had one beef with the previous version of the app - you needed an Internet connection every time you moved a few miles. That concern was addressed in this update. Now you can download an entire continent at a time. Not free, but in my opinion definitely worth the $9.99 annual subscription.

For any ham you need this. It is kept current. Function and features, excellent. Take it from an Extra class. N5QF

This is a must have excellent for travel and keeping up to date on local repeater activity. Great resource that all hams should have

Very nice app and very great people supporting it.

This application I have been using since it first came out. This completely gets rid of the need to purchase the Repeater Book. I love being able to access information immediately with both my iPhone and iPad. Not to mention it links to RT Systems software. And if you have issues Bob answers his cellphone to help you out. Bob completely stands behind his product. AAAA+++++ Updated Daily!! I love this App. 3 years later, I love this app even more than ever. The route feature that allows me to create repeaters list along my routes of travel is amazing. Saved me weeks worth of work. I bought several SD Media Cards and saved my repeaters lists to the cards and whenever I started a new leg of a trip, I would just pop in a new SD Card, load from the media and away I drove. 4000 miles in two weeks and it worked out exactly as planned. A repeater book doesnt automate anything. This is the way of the future. I don want to hear what happens if the power goes out. My answer as an Emergency Manager is why wasnt your radio programmed prior to the power going out. Remember the 6 Ps - Piss Poor Planning Prevents Poor Performance 73 David CEM, AA6RV

This was a waste of $10! This app doesnt function as described.

I have been a software reviewer and tech journalist for 30 years. This is among the worst programs I have seen. Now with an ARRL endorsement and revenue sharing deal! That is why I purchased this mess. I am involved with 7 repeaters -- none of which are in this database. I am on the board of a coordination body. We dont provide information for this app, which would still be lousy even with a complete and up-to-date database. In my area, repeaters are shown multiple times, including those that no longer exist. Ill add to this review but wanted to warn anyone who might think the League would only endorse good software.

Excellent customer service!
