About this app
ECHOCAT is the iPhone and iPad companion for POTACAT, the desktop app for amateur radio operators chasing Parks on the Air (POTA), Summits on the Air (SOTA), Worldwide Bunkers on the Air (WWBOTA), Tiles on the Air and DX.
Connect your iPad or iPhone to your shack computer from anywhere in the world. POTACAT Cloud Tunnel (optional subscription) handles the remote connection with no router config, no port forwarding, and no VPN setup — it’s the easiest path. If you prefer to bring your own networking, ECHOCAT also works over Tailscale, WireGuard, or 44NetConnect. On your local network, ECHOCAT works out of the box for free. From any of these paths you have comprehensive remote control of your shack, allowing you to work all your favorite modes.
Remote SSB, CW, FT8 and SSTV! Imagine you're stuck in that long line at the supermarket and you get a notification your buddy is on a summit.…

Five-star share of ratings
90% or more five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the app package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Method and limits
What a missing label means
Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.
Limits of this report
- A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
- Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
- Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
- A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
