David It is our app and Dick is correct. The basic app is free but to unlock all of the bands and also get the updates you have to buy into the service. Not a real clean WY of handling it but it works.

I received the following information from a member at a hamfest this past weekend -

If one has an Android phone, and searches for "repeater directory," the top search result is the ARRL Repeater Directory.

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.
