### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-04-17*

Alerts stopped working and the program crashes when attempting to go into settings.

### 1/5 — RC

*2023-01-19*

It’s broke.

### 1/5 — NEEDS AN UPDATE!

*2020-11-18*

This app doesn’t work with the latest Apple devices and iOS! Maybe that’s to be expected since it’s 2 years old. In which case Apple, or the developer need to remove it so we don’t waste time and valuable GB on a useless download.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-12-22*

Not worth the download

### 1/5 — Poor

*2019-05-12, version 2.0*

Seems broken!  No functionally operational and crashes when the filter button is clicked.  Has this product been abandoned?

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2018-11-10*

Constantly crashes.   Unusable on iPhone os 12.1

### 1/5 — No Alert

*2018-08-05, version 2.0*

I downloaded this to alert me of spots. No alert sounds or push notifications, nothing. You have to go in to the menu to see complete. Visual only. Needs work.

### 1/5 — Does not work with ipad ios

*2017-09-06, version 2.0*

Set up alerts in app
No alerts received via ipad when wanted station was spotted.
Alert is cancelled in app when wanted spot is posted but no notification received via the ipad

### 5/5 — great support

*2017-01-27*

I had 2 questions about the alerts and both times I had a response within an hour with solutions. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2016-05-31, version 1.1.2*

This app is unreliable, constantly freezing and refuses to load.
Not impressed at all.

- You can now add an alert for a callsign with slashes. So you can be notified when that /P station is QRV!
-  You can tap on a Completed alert and view the spot information that triggered the specific alert.
- Searching now is not limited to the last 100 spots. Scrolling through the list automatically connects to download older spots.
