One of my club-members, Peter PA3PM, showed me a new cool app a few weeks ago; from aprs.fi! A simple sleek app with all the functionality in it that you want from an APRS-app. Really cool!
I searched in the AppStore but no luck. A quick mail to Peter learned me it was still a beta-phase and you needed to be a tester to get the app. I mailed APRS.fi to volunteer but Heikki let me know the app was almost live anyway.
So a few days later I tried to install it on my iPhone 4S with iOS7. No luck again. It needs at least iOS8.0.
I forgot about it for a week or so when I realized I could try to install it on my iPod with iOS9! No problem! It installed in a bit and I was able to play with it.
The next day I picked up my iPhone and to my surprise the aprs.fi-app was on my iPhone too! Apparently the iOS/iCloud-functionality to synchronize apps between devices took care for the installation of the app on my iOS7-device even when it’s not coded for. Even more surprisingly the app runs without any problems on my iPhone.
At least I got bang for my buck on both my iOS-devices!
