Description
iBCNU is an APRS GPS position reporting and text-messaging application for the Apple iPhone. When position reporting is enabled, the application will periodically send out location of your iPhone using either 3G or WiFi network and iPhone's built in GPS receiver. The rate at which position reports are sent out is adjustable. Position reports can also by triggered by change in GPS coordinates. Once the GPS information is in the APRS-IS system, it is shared between all users and you can track yourself or track your friends using this or one of the many APRS mapping sites. When used as a text-messaging tool, iBCNU will let you send and receive messages using the APRS-IS system. You can send short (approximately 512 character) messages to your ham friends for free.
If you have iPod Touch, you can still use this app by entering GPS coords manually.

Customer Reviews
Disapponted then thrilled
See my previous entry below I have version 1.7 and most of the issues appear fixed . I am enjoying aprs again
Well done on the new version . Thanks
Author should issue refunds ! Read the reviews and hoped for the best. Wasted $2.00. Doesn't connect to server etc. Hopefully the issues will be fixed, but in good taste - the app should be pulled until fixed.
Locks up and must delete and reload
Great app but will not stay open must delete and reload to get it to work . This has only happened after the last upgrade.
It works great with v1.7 but after working for awhile the maps lately will not work so I tried to access aprs fi through the iPhone 3g browser an it will not work there either. It appears to be a map server problem. However it will work on my pc. Just doesn't work on the iPhone. KB0EFQ-10
Works for me
Works great on my IPHONE 3G. Remember to NOT enable the LOC button if you are connected to APRS.FI. APRS.FI does NOT support packet locating yet. I'm still learning the ins and outs of this APP but so far so good. Thanks AB3Y.
