So do I.
I guess, the app will be still available at Play Store. There are lot of older app. I would be nice to get and store the apk file on your computer. I just have done this and put it in my Dropbox.

If self-spotting is your concern, you should consider SOTAmat. Absolutely brilliant, especially when there is no cell phone or APRS reception.

I love the Sota Spotter app. But there are no more updates and I fell for it yesterday.
Lars, SA4BLM was at a summit again and given the bad conditions I had a lot of trouble understanding his reference. Especially since the app didnât recognize the summit. Eventually it turned out to be a whole new reference. Lars, thank you for your patience.

Uups, sorry⌠Seems to work. Thanks, 73 and 44! Alex - DH2ID
DANG!! I used that for every summit I have been to!
Yes, big loss. I used and liked SOTA Spotter a lot. Itâs still updating the summits list every month, but a chocolate fireguard is more useful now unfortunately⌠Iâm leaving it on my phone in case the creator Bogdan changes his mind and continues his previous excellent support. In the meantime, on an activation I did last Thursday, I used SOTAWatch 3, and it did the job. I had a good mobile signal admittedly and did not need the FMF texting SOTA service.
Itâs easier for those of us who do CW as we have the RBN listening across the spectrum as a backup, and it usually works, or text or whats app your friends at home and they will spot you and alert the deserving.
