## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App Not updated

*2025-03-15*

Seems like this app was last updated in 2018. The Band plans are not updated. I want my money back.

### 1/5 — maybe a good idea once

*2024-03-22*

There is no evidence the app is live anymore. $2.99 for the simple version with only limited references. Greyed out "Pro Version" options seem arbitrary and only designed to get one to upgrade. I clicked both "Upgrade" and "Renew" with no response to the buttons. The links aren't active. No prices given. One star only because I have to give a star.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY. Needs upgrade

*2017-10-05*

I just got this app before iOS 11 came out. Now it doesn’t work at all. The last update was 5 yrs ago.

### 3/5 — Not compatible

*2020-04-27*

I will not replace a perfectly functioning iPad, for $1,000 because app creators don't support a six year old model.

### 3/5 — Missing crucial calculations

*2012-06-17*

Nice app concept useful as a study reference for license tests. However, seriously lacking in almost all calculations needed for the US ham license tests - resonance, reactance, Q, R/C time constants, winding / turns ratio, modulation index, intermodulation, deviation, virtually no AC calculations such as peak, RMS, power factor, no antenna calculations. It would be far more useful with these items added.

### 4/5 — Nice collection of amateur radio references

*2024-12-17*

It’s great. My only small complaint is QN codes (for use in traffic nets) are not listed.

### 4/5 — Ham Radio Reference

*2017-06-03*

Great reference app for my needs...one of only 4 that I put on my new iPhone...I have tons of other Amateur Radio related apps on my iPad but this one was one of the few I like to always have at hand.

Installed it on my iPhone (ios 10)...when I first opened it up it said that the app needs to be updated for future iOS upgrades else it may cease to work...let us hope that happens...

thanks, 73s

### 5/5 — UPDATE

*2018-03-01*

We need to be UPDATED... Love the App...?but 😔, it’s not functioning for write some time... please update... Many Thanks.  James KJ6WZW

### 5/5 — Update Me!!

*2015-02-06*

I use this app all the time for looking at band privileges and band plans. I would love to see an update to support the larger screen on the iPhone 6. 

This is one of the two apps I use the most for Amateur Radio. I would be lost without it.

### 5/5 — Nice App!

*2013-12-25*

A great, handy, on-the-go reference for hams and ham wannabes alike.  Includes plenty of useful information, easy to use.  5 gold stars! ;)
