### 4/5 — Latest update

*2023-08-25, version 6.02*

App not stable and shuts down intermittently on ios16.6 iPadpro

### 1/5 — Pessima

*2023-05-09, version 5.03*

Non va bene

### 1/5 — I quit

*2023-04-18*

I paid $1.99 for ad blocking.  Still get ads.  I cannot make the filters work.  I want to see ONLY 40 mtr CW, have tried every possible combo of filters, nothing works, I’m still seeing DX spots from all bands, all modes.  Deleting this app from my iPad and kissing $1.99 goodbye.

### 1/5 — It works bad

*2022-03-20, version 5.03*

It does not allow to highlight colleagues.

### 1/5 — Malfunction

*2021-10-21, version 5*

The band selection does not function properly.
It defaults to 40m wether it is selected or not.

### 5/5 — Works Exactly as Described

*2018-12-31*

I don’t quite get the complaint in an earlier review about the ads being obtrusive.  I only see a small window at the bottom with a not very distracting ad that doesn’t bother me at all.  There are the controls you might expect, some basic filtering and a nicely imagined simple display and UI.  Nice app - especially for free!

I do agree with the previous reviewer in one respect.  I definitely no longer trust Apple.  That company needs a thorough house cleaning starting at the top and going down at least half way.

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2018-01-15*

Ads block the controls of the app.
