The answers you seek are at the link he provided.Just purchased this app... The price is pretty steep for an app that doesn't have a trial version...
I'll include the link since you didnt...

Is there a way to report a repeater that doesn't exist anymore?
It would be great if there was a function in the app to flag the repeater as confirmed working with the information provided or flag it as either inoperable or if it doesn't exist.
I included the link because there are many users here who browse the forums on tapatalk, and it would be beneficial to have a direct link to android marketplace. The original link was to the QRZ forums.The answers you seek are at the link he provided.
Besides the fact that that is just one person's opinion and that you apparently haven't taken the time to learn how these applications work, this app does not allow you to talk to the repeaters listed in the app's directory via your telephone. It is a directory only. You can't use your paperback ARRL Repeater Book to talk on repeaters, can you?I don't know if this is the most appropriate place to put this - but those telephones with the VOX do not work well for VOIP applications.
The best one I heard so far was a guy that was smart enough to press the mute button when he was not talking.
Telephones in my opinion has no place in 2 meters type communications, that is what a radio is for.
There is no way to adjust the volume of the mic in a telephone - hence it usually overloads the audio and causes it to clip or sound like Mr Roboto....
The other half of the problem is that people are so used to talking on their telephones that when they use their phone to communicate in Ham bands - they end up acting stupid and ramble on about nothing for hours at a time and they forget that they are on the radio and they do not say their call sign the required 10 minute intervals.
Some people even time out the repeater with all their dribble.
I just wonder what it is going to take to get it through some peoples heads that this is HAM RADIO and not HAM telephone....

Hi John...thanks for writing...Glad you like our app!I have attempted to download this app. and have received a message that it is not compatible with my Verizon Droid X however my friend who has a Verizon Droid 2 was able to download it with no problems. Do you have any thoughts on why it won't work with the Droid X? I'd really love to have this as I travel a lot. Thank you.
Thanks, news....how did you like the mapping function?Works fine on my Droid X...
Hello Bob. Thanks for the speedy and helpful response. I sensed this should not be a phone specific issue but was just going by what Android Marketplace has been reporting to me.Hi John...thanks for writing...Glad you like our app!
We have many users on the Droid X, in fact 13.6% of our users are on that device....the largest percentage of all devices...so there is no issue with the device itself.
The problem you are having is local...can I suggest you call me so I can help you? 516.807.0697

No. It is tied to your Marketplace account.Bob, i did not download this app yet but probably will.
Just one question.
If you download this app and then later get a new cell phone do you have
to re-purchase this app to get it on the new cell phone?
I ask because this has happened to me in the past & wondering if
this has been addressed or not. I had a cell phone go bad on me
and had to get a replacement and had to pay twice for a few apps.
