Awesome

This app is the best I have found. Very useful. Had an issue with payment at first but was resolved quickly, and to my satisfaction.

Hams will love it

Wow, the developers (actual radio operator) give you personal replies! Not to mention the app works 100%. Great RT Systems integration as well. I use it for my FTM-400 and FT1D

What Ive Been Waiting For

Downloaded this app and have been playing with it since. It has what some other similar apps has, but I love the GUI more. Have been using it while traveling and havent found errors. Their website is pretty useful, too, so check them out!

Are negative stars an option?

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. Ill add to this review but wanted to warn anyone who might think the League would only endorse good software.

Extra Class

Intuitive platform agnostic app.

I have used it on several vacations. Pre plan my route, export the TPE file, import the file to my VX8 handy talkie and I have all the repeaters along my route. What once took hours to do, now takes minutes. Great app and data base!

The Best Repeater Directory

Its time to throw out that old paper repeater directory and get RFinder. Ive been using the app for a number of years and it just keeps evolving. You can find a repeater no matter where you are. Im just starting to experiment with the route function for an upcoming trip. I use RT Systems to program my radio so it looks like it will be a snap to get the repeaters programmed into my mobile. To say this was a tedious hit-or-miss process in the past is an understatement. Short version of this review. I highly recommend RFinder!

Great customer support

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.

Highly recommend

Great customer service. Best directory Ive seen.

Very satisfied!

Overall, this app has been an incredibly effective update to the old method of scouring the repeater book. The fact that a subscription also provides access online makes my life a LOT easier as well. I liked it before the ARRL partnership, but out of all the similar options I tried, this is really the most complete and deserving of the endorsement. Great job!

Wont Find Location

I allowed this overpriced, ugly app access to my location but it refuses to update. It remains at 0,0 (map origin) no matter how many force quits or reinstalls. Will be demanding my money back.

Fantastic App/ Great support

I have been using RFinder for a year and it has been very helpful in programing my hand held and mobile radios through RT Systems. It has also been great in finding and linking to repeaters throughout California. I am looking forward to using the App on my vacation this summer, and anticipate using the new repeater coverage maps when they come out this year. When seeking support Bob was very helpful and responded within minutes of sending an email. His help and understanding was greatly appreciated. Keep the updates coming.

Great support!

I havent yet explored all the features of this app yet, but it looks excellent. I had questions after downloading it, and Bob responded almost immediately to my emails. Very helpful. He also has a YouTube video which is quite informative. FYI - Im an ARRL member, and they no longer sell or support their old "Travel Plus" software, which is how I discovered this app. An ARRL rep referred me. This appears to be at least as good if not better.

Wonderful App and Superb Tech Support

This is an absolute wonderful App. I works - period. I am using it on my iPhone, on the website as well as with all programing software from rtsystems.. It works and integrates seamlessly every time. Using this program is a million times better than sourcing the info from different sites and try to type it in. And nowadays its working on Echolink too. I called into their support to ask about a password reset and Bob answered the phone in ten seconds. He answered my question and got my issue resolved in less than a minute.. Great App and superb tech support. Thank you Bob for putting this together and enhancing it all the time. 73s N5JN

Highly recommended

RFinder is a great app...portable world wide repeater database and radio programming tool. The best as app of its kind.

Wonderful App for Amateur Radio

We travel across the US and Canada about 10 months of the year. So finding local repeaters and keeping up with Dstar and other changes is very challenging. Rfinder is our equalizer because it has a data base that is updated at real time. When someone enters a change to their repeater the next Rfinder client lookup is already up to date. This is much better than buying a paper or cd directory. N1AEW
