I like the app as Storm Chaser / Spotter Beacon is Reporting My position well. But the beacon will not Come up on Grlevelx products or radar Scope.
Love this app
Love this app but it keeps saying my spoter id username in incorrect. So i go to spotternetwork and its the same username they have provied me with. Any help
Im not showing up on spotter network
Awesome tool for spotters and chasers alike. One feature I'd like to see is a single button to update your position in case the automatic part fails to update, without having to adjust the interval slider.
Loved this app, but as of the last week to two weeks now beacon shows hot on the app end but can not be seen by anyone else. Pointless if others can't see your beacon and your out chasing/spotting. Now if DEVS can reach out and help fix this issue I will gladly change my rating to 5 stars.
Best Spotter Network app ever
Works perfectly! Might get a warning if your system is newer then the version. Works well on version 9 of Android..
Constantly not seeing my own beacan having issues seeing other spotters as well from my state i do not recomend this app until these issues are fixed plus we should have a button to push to update our location and another button to send out an alert asking for help
Will not update location when I'm out in field. I have Samsung galaxy s10+
