WRUA294 Posted June 21, 2023 Report Posted June 21, 2023 Downloaded the 1.3.0 version and installed it on my Android 6 network radio. It would not let me register. Went back to the Google Play Store but no "Join the Beta" option came up so no luck. Quote

rdunajewski Posted June 21, 2023 Author Report Posted June 21, 2023 That's the old version which is off topic here. No further updates will be made to that version. Quote

Guest Posted June 21, 2023 Report Posted June 21, 2023 @rdunajewski looks good on my 13 pro / iOS 16.5 - repeaters loaded ultra fast (based GPS on location) Quote
wayoverthere Posted June 21, 2023 Report Posted June 21, 2023 Did some poking around the android version (pixel 7 pro), and everything seems to be working great. The only minor nit i saw to pick is on the "About" page, it still shows the fee at $70. Quote
WRUA294 Posted June 21, 2023 Report Posted June 21, 2023 Installed new version but it won't accept my username/password when entered. Says my credentials are incorrect. Quote
WRNQ278 Posted June 21, 2023 Report Posted June 21, 2023 I like the beta a lot! What I am missing is the labels of repeater names with the icons on the map. Now you have to click on the repeater icon to see the repeater name. Quote

WRXT567 Posted June 29, 2023 Report Posted June 29, 2023 WRXT567 Great app. Everything looks and works great on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Only issue, cant update my Profile pic. Quote
WRXT567 Posted June 29, 2023 Report Posted June 29, 2023 Are you planning to integrate this forum into the app? chat area? GMRS section helping noobs like me get a P.O Box to hide their address? !! LLL !! Will this app supply the user an inventory section? Quote
WRUA294 Posted June 30, 2023 Report Posted June 30, 2023 The app is opening and working fine now on my Android 6.0 device. Thanks for looking into this. Quote

Only issue, cant update my Profile pic. Same here. It does let you select a photo to set as a profile picture but it won’t display it. Along with address showing only as a PO Box. On the website it’s entered as a street address. Other than that it’s great. Quote
Guest Posted July 6, 2023 Report Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) My Profile Picture experience:... I uploaded a pic on the app. App does not display pic. App pic overwrote the web pic. (I since changed the web pic back...) iOS - 16.5.1 on iPhone 13 pro Edited July 6, 2023 by WRXD372 to add phone information Quote
WRHS218 Posted July 6, 2023 Report Posted July 6, 2023 I have had the old Android app installed for over a year. Do I need to uninstall it and then reinstall to get to the beta version? Quote

BUT - have you tried to "join the beta" with your current version ?!? If that does not work, it looks like you have to install the version mentioned (I added his instruction on top) ... sounds like they started "fresh" with this one and it works well !!! Quote

I ended up uninstalling the old app, reinstalling it and signing in and then there was the Join button for the Beta. A few minutes later I had the update. I have the Beta version now. Quote
jsneezy Posted July 15, 2023 Report Posted July 15, 2023 I've been noticing since opting in that the "view on myGMRS.com" and "request permission" are missing when I'm looking at a repeater in the app. It may just be my phone, but figured it's worth mentioning here. Pixel 6 Pro in case it matters. Quote
