Sad news:

Spots have stopped appearing on my Lock Screen.

Response from developer

You can now submit and edit spots and alerts. Push notifications are coming soon!

Can’t use!

I download updated data and almost all of my country’s mountain data was gone.
This is useless. I am really disappointed.

awesome, must-buy for SOTA ops

Very nice, thank you! Only thing I wish for as a potential improvement would be the ability to filter Spots to show just certain region, mode, or maybe even distance too (e.g. normally I am only hoping to hunt nearby summits on 2m simplex FM with my yagi). Otherwise, amazing piece of software!! also, thank you for supporting older iOS as my device is quite old.

Crash crashy

The last update appears to be over 2 years ago so I’m assuming this is abandon-ware.

It crashes after a few taps on my iPhone 14 pro running iOS 16.5

**Would not recommend until the author adds basic filtering and fixes the constant crashing.**

Just a couple of minor tweaks away from being the perfect SOTA companion

Love the app and use it for every SOTA. Two complaints:
1. The band selector scroll wheel on the Spots screen is terrible on my iPhone 12. I can't see what band is selected because the lower window covers up the scroll wheel. I have to use SOTA Watch to spot as a workaround.
2. I wish I could filter alerts and spots. I'm only FM for now, so the long list of foreign and HF alerts and spots is just clutter for me.
Awesome app. Keep the updates coming! 73

Great app, really useful for SOTA

I like this app. It’s great for SOTA, whether you’re an activator or a chaser. As an activator, it helps to find and get to the correct location for activation. As a chaser, it notifies you of spots. What I would like to see, is an ability to go from the summit card directly to the map, then directly to the tracker. Other than that, it’s pretty much perfect! 5* is above changes made.

Useful tool, almost indispensable.

Absolutely brilliant app, bring everything you need for SOTA together, in one easy to access location.
If I was to give any feedback, being able to filter spots would be useful, only SSB, or region, or band etc.

Good App

I’ve been using it for about 6 months and found it excellent.

Great but Lacking Filters

This app is a fantastic SOTA tool. If it had the ability to filter alerts/spots by association and/or other data points it would be 5 star perfect.

“New Alert” Function - Errors - Ver 1.6.3

I am not complaining here, just sharing.
On 9/25/2021 using version 1.6.3 on iOS 15, I tried to create a New Alert, filled in the information, and clicked save. I then got a screen full of error messages.
