If you sort the reviews by date, the ones this year are generally quite negative. Most find $10 per year to be excessive.Given that most apps are free to $3 for permanent use, I can see their argument.

However, I note in passing that Dick's source is incorrect in that the 3.3 rating is out of 5, not 10. Also, the "5" ratings outnumber the "1" ratings.

It states price: free You then download the directory, and get the message, "If you want 2-meters and 70-centimeters, you need to pay an additional $10." Note that realistically, the only repeaters people are interested in are on 2 and 70 cm. This has apparently not been a hit with users. The directory is rated at 3.3 stars, out of 10, and the negative comments relate to the misleading "free." I would suggest simply listing the price at $10, and possibly below that, note that a sample directory with no 2 and 70 is available for free. Being straightforward with the membership and users is probably a good idea. 73, Dick Norton, N6AA _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
