APRS for Android?
Does anyone know of an up-to-date APRS app for Android? The original APRSdroid doesn't have very good reviews in the Google app store and apparently hasn't been supported for a couple of years. Steve AI9IN
Steve,
APRSDroid works fine. I have Pixel 2 with Android 10. There were some issues with Google Map integration which was fixed in more recent release. I guess it is not distributed via the store, but you can download the latest from here https://aprsdroid.org/download/builds/ It also works fine between Pixel and Kenwood TH-D74.
Hope it helps, Dmitry, N6DNM

Have never had any issues with APRSDroid connected to my mobilinkd tnc using any variety of Android phones Ive had over the years.
Just remember that the only people who leave reviews are those who are not happy. Also reading the reviews , they all seem to be passcode issues and that has ZERO to do with the android program in question

Until the recent Google Maps integration that was recently fixed, I have not had any major issues with APRSdroid and I find the developer is pretty responsive to issues on the GitHub page:
