Those of you who said that APRSdroid works were right. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I got it working without much fuss. I just confirmed on AISAT-1 that it works on my phone hooked up to my HT. So, I agree, don't believe all the bad reviews you see on the app Play Store. Steve AI9IN
Steve, I have used it just with its internet side on my Samsung S7 and it has worked flawlessly for years. I use it when I don't have a radio with me. The internet function makes it act as if a radio is connected, but none is needed if all you want to do it see where you are, have been and the network topography itself. 73, N0AN Hasan

I use it to work APRS enabled sats along with a Mobilinkd TNC3. Currently testing the new 9600 bps capabilities of the TNC with Falconsat. It's a work in progress but have already decoded packets from the satellite.
To make exchanges easier I recommend a keyboard app like CanalRun Macro Keys (Android). You can store messages and send them with just a couple of keystrokes, instead of typing everything.
Have fun!
