Introducing Watch APRS - A new way to live monitor APRS packets from ham and amateur radio transmitters across the world!
Watch APRS is a successor to my APRS Watch App from a few years ago. By popular demand I have re-designed, re-architected, and re-published the App as a new generational version in the App Store.
Watch APRS expands beyond the original by offering not only new reliable connections to APRS Tier 2 servers across the world but also many new features being built to improve your overall experience.
Features include:
* Live monitoring of APRS traffic and packets based on GPS location
* Live data analytics on APRS packets such as Average Outdoor Temperatures from weather telemetry data
* Interactive mapping of APRS packets using your device's included Apple Maps feature
* Improved UX/UI (User Interface and Experience) to view data from several types of APRS packets within the App
* Improved connection reliability with APRS Servers including when the App is put into the background and resumed from Sleep
* Can handle thousands of packets and millions of bytes of data in a single App session
* Industrial grade APRS packet parsing
* Geocoding of APRS packet data to show location names on top of the actual GPS position
* Re-built and re-coded with Microsoft .NET MAUI with a whole new back-end library and code to better deliver the data when you need it the most
We have decided to discontinue the Ad Free feature for the time being as we are re-building our entire code base and finding ways to better support development. Thank you for your continued support of the ongoing development of the Watch APRS App. As a courtesy we have enabled the APRS transmission feature for all users to allow you to transmit your phone's location with a valid amateur radio license and call sign to the APRS servers.
