Widget and Quick Settings Tiles
#Home-screen widget
Add the widget from your launcher's widget picker. It shows at a glance:
- your callsign and connection state (IS Connected, IS + RF…, RF: … or Disconnected);
- your last beaconed position (or QTH) and locator;
- the time of your last beacon;
- the number of stations heard and unread messages;
- the last station heard, with distance, bearing and time.
The widget updates at most every 30 seconds, and immediately after a connection change or a beacon. Tap it to open the app.
#Quick Settings tiles
Pull down the notification shade, tap the pencil (edit) icon and drag the tiles into place.
| Tile | Action |
