### 2/5 — Pretty bad..

*2017-01-14*

The band plan information is inaccurate and incorrect. Could use more features like DX cluster, FCC RF exposure calculator, etc. For a pay app, should be more useful.

### 3/5 — Cool app

*2016-05-11*

I've been using it for a while now and it isn't bad.

### 4/5 — Check your Settings

*2016-04-01*

Go to Settings/ General/ Accessibility/ Increase Contrast and make sure your Reduce Transparency is turned OFF.  This, for me, fixed the problem of not being able to see the main menu. Only gave 4 stars because the app should detect and account for this somehow, but I did send the developer an email describing what I did to fix it.

### 4/5 — Update is excellent.

*2016-01-31*

Using this app for a few months and can give kudos to the developer for the recent update. Much cleaner look and easy to navigate. Good job and thanks for keeping it fresh.

### 1/5 — No longer works after re-write!

*2016-01-30*

Upgraded to the new version. Now when I tap the menu icon, the screen goes blank on my iPad and iPhone 6s. There are no longer icons on the bottom of screen. Please fix!

### 2/5 — Wait for a fix before upgrading

*2016-01-29*

Upgraded from an older version and now menu icons are invisible on iPhone 6, latest iOS 9.2. I tried uninstalling and re-installing with no success.

### 4/5 — Antenna page

*2014-10-16*

If it possible add convert Button from Feet to Meter in antenna page.

### 1/5 — Fixit

*2014-09-20*

Doesn't work with iOS 8

### 2/5 — Band plan is incorrect for USA

*2013-02-24*

Need an option for USA band plans. Following the UK plan could get you in trouble.
