Works well

I like this app and it does what it says it will. Only change I can suggest is having the numbers on the keyboard layout together with the letters (across the top row like a real keyboard). That way you wouldn't have to switch to the number keyboard just to type one number then switch to the letter keyboard again to finish typing in a call sign to look up. The app "Hamlog" does this and it's a nice touch.

Wonderful !!!!

This is the greatest program for hams.
You not only find out the contacts name but, you can see where he lives.
The satellite view will even show you a photo of his home. Buy it !!!

Useless

You can save your 2 bucks and get the same information for free. I paid the 1.99 but I feel I paid for a license to trash this useless app.

Save your money !!!!

Usually dogpark software writes good stuff except this is garbage just put a bookmark for the callsign server or APRS.FI and you will save $1.99 I feel I was ripped off

Used to work, now crashes

For the last month or so this app crashes each time I use it. I'm not having trouble with any other apps, so I'm not sure what the problem is. When it works it's great!
