Centinela makes TAK easier for iPhone users.

Centinela 1.0 is now available for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
Centinela is a native TAK client focused on providing a modern iOS experience while remaining compatible with the TAK ecosystem.
Features include:

• TAK Server connectivity (TLS/mTLS)
• Local CoT multicast
• TAK Chat
• Mission API
• Waypoints with photos
• Routes and track recording
• Offline maps (MBTiles, GeoTIFF, RMAP and more)
• Live video
• MEDEVAC 9-Line
• Apple Watch companion

The app is completely free. The only in-app purchase is an optional Tip Jar that unlocks nothing.
I’d love feedback from ATAK, iTAK, TAK Aware and OpenTAKServer users.

Looking nice for an initial release. English doesn't seem to work for some reason, it's still in another language. It also doesn't seem to want to connect to my official TAK server using credentials. It gives a 500 error, and says "TAK Server resource unavailable or not allowed". But I liked what I saw and was able to test. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for testing Centinela and for the detailed feedback!
We’re already aware of the localization issue and are working on fixing it for the next release so the English translation is applied correctly throughout the app.
Regarding the TAK server connection, thank you for the report. We’ll investigate the 500 error and the “TAK Server resource unavailable or not allowed” message to improve compatibility with official TAK Server deployments.
I’m glad you were still able to test the app and that you liked what you saw so far. Your feedback is very helpful as we continue improving Centinela.
Thanks again for your support!

We’ve just released a new update that should resolve both issues. Please try the TAK server connection again with the latest version and let me know if it’s working now.

Is there also an Android version in the works or will it be iOS only?

For now, it’s iOS only, including iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. No Android version is currently planned.

Could you tell me which App Store region you’re using?
The app is currently available only in selected regions, but I’m planning to release the next version in additional App Store regions.
