- 📦Meshtastic version 2.7.27iOSNew
- Set Up Radio: a radio that connects with no LoRa region opens a short setup for its region, preset and name. Open it any time from Connect or Settings.
- First-launch setup starts with a welcome page, and the permission pages have plain icons and larger text.
- See your connected radio's screen live in the app and press its buttons from your phone. Open Device Screen in the radio's node details. Needs radio firmware with screen mirroring.
- The connected radio's 3D model shows its live screen, and the full-screen model fits the whole radio.
Improvements
- Offline maps show place names without a network, draw the ocean as water, size roads by zoom with tunnels and bridges drawn apart, and hide small streams and sidings when zoomed out.
- Hillshade has a Shade Valleys option, and fades out past the zoom your terrain download reaches.
- A finished mesh scan stays on screen until New Scan, which starts with the beacons it heard already selected.
- The map's buttons are laid out like Apple Maps, top right on iPad, and a node's position map uses the same buttons.
- Map pins group only when they overlap, and pins for approximate locations sit in the middle of their circle.
- The weather radar draws smoothly instead of in squares.
- Gray secondary text is easier to read in light and dark mode.
- A Node Tracker widget says when its node is no longer in the node list.
- The bootloader screens name the Meshtastic nRF52 Bootloader.
- The MQTT root topic warning says it's reset when you change the LoRa region.
- Updated device images, hardware list and Traditional Chinese translations.
Fixes
- Security fixes for remote administration and the TAK server. Remote administration now uses only public key encryption; the legacy admin channel option is gone.
- TAK users: the TAK server now makes its own certificates. Remove the old Meshtastic connection in ATAK or iTAK, then export and import the data package again.
- Your phone's position is sent with the current time.
- The app no longer hangs when it sends nodes to the Apple Watch.
- Fixed a crash building widgets while channels refresh.… more - 📈Meshtastic charting in a new countryAndroidTaiwan

- 📦Meshtastic updated to version 2.8.3 (29322724) googleAndroidRadios on firmware older than 2.5.14 stay connected and lead straight to the firmware update, which is now required. Back up and restore the app database. Failed messages resend in place. Reactions get their own notification channel. Radio settings open without a radio, and search lands on the setting. Site Planner coverage runs on the phone. Many stability fixes.

Review momentum

faster than 17% of Communication apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
