About this app
APRSSwift brings the Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) to your Apple devices — a native, universal amateur-radio app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Report your position to the APRS network, watch nearby stations move on a live map, read a real-time packet log, and exchange APRS text messages — all with your own callsign. FEATURES • Live map with APRS symbols, station tracks, and your own location • Connect via APRS-IS (Internet), a TCP KISS TNC, a Bluetooth TNC (Mobilinkd), or the built-in AFSK sound modem (1200 baud — no extra hardware) • Full packet decoding: position, Mic-E, compressed, objects, items, status, weather, messages, and telemetry • SmartBeaconing — adaptive beacon rate based on speed and turns • Two-way APRS messaging with acknowledgements • Station list with distance, favorites, and proximity alerts • Maidenhead grid locator, metric or imperial units, and dead reckoning • Post APRS objects, send status reports, and view weather & telemetry charts • Apple Watch app: beacon, grid, and nearby stations on your wrist APRSSwift is designed for licensed amateur radio operators. A valid callsign is required; your APRS-IS passcode is generated automatically from it. 73!
Latest release
What’s New
1.3.1 fixes two bugs reported from the field. • Messages addressed to a callsign with an SSID — N0CALL-9 rather than N0CALL — never reached the Messages tab. They showed up in the log and nowhere else, and no acknowledgement went back, so the sender kept retrying. Anyone running an SSID, which is most mobile operators, had messaging silently broken in both directions. Messages sent to any of your own SSIDs now appear, and the one addressed to your exact station is acknowledged. • Transmitting over a Bluetooth TNC could stall for a whole session while receiving carried on working normally, so stations kept arriving on the map while nothing went out. • The sound modem gains a guide to keying the radio, at Settings → Connection → Keying the radio. The app cannot key a radio itself, and which route your cable takes — keying itself, relying on the radio's VOX, or a button under your thumb — decides whether anything transmits at all. Also: "Beacon now" now says why it cannot transmit instead of doing nothing at all, a missing position points at location access rather than satellites, and the AX.25 command bits match what the rest of the network sends.
