[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Chirp is just fine for most users.
If you're having problems then don't use Apple hardware.
There's always RTSystems offerings at $50 per radio type.

I'm sometimes seeing Chirp updates daily. That sounds like support.
The other problems are with Apple not liking software that they haven't approved and their continually changing platforms.

CHIRP echos the failure of the ‘out of tune’ bandwagon of HT manufacturers to the degradation of those who mfg. quality products. If you think managing expectations of product quality and functionality is ‘entitlement’ you missed the boat. If you paid for CHIRP would you accept less? If you donate to support an inferior product you should at least expect a little more than Plugging the hole in the dyke with your finger.

CHIRP is awesome software, and while it's not perfect, no software is, but it's certainly quite capable and better than what has been supplied to me by the various manufacturers of my radios. Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble, but whineing, acting entitled, and shitting on this list certainly isn't going to solve your problems.
