On the band plan I would like to see the freq. range, not just "2m" by itself, and so-on. ### 3/5 — Missing *2010-06-28* Your Q codes are not complete ie QRP. Love the Solar idea...still testing it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 1/5 — Fixit *2014-09-20* Doesn't work with iOS 8 ### 1/5 — Very poor. *2012-10-15, version 1.1* Qrz link is a link to a web page and is poorly laid out. Very basic app and not worth 69p ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2012-02-18, version 1.1* Poor excuse for an app! Qrz facility is just a link to the website! Better off just booking marking websites with the same info on. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Suggestion *2018-06-10* Add a few to the Morse code / ? . Period , comma Jim AD0YO ### 3/5 — Cool app *2016-05-11* I've been using it for a while now and it isn't bad. ### 3/5 — ham utility *2012-01-06, version 1.1* this would be great if only the morse would work! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2010-11-15* This is an extremely useful app. The band plan is detailed and particularly useful for those new to bands. Love the antenna calculator! If you are a Ham you should have this app. ### 5/5 — Good App *2010-05-30* I echo the previous opinion...useful. ### 5/5 — Handy app to have *2010-05-18* Nice app to take along with your gear Very handy like the qrz call sign lookup ### 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. ### 4/5 — Antenna page *2014-10-16* If it possible add convert Button from Feet to Meter in antenna page. ### 4/5 — Cookie Raider *2012-10-18, version 1.1* I use this app for the band plans and solar data and for that its worth the 69p ### 4/5 — Worth $.99 for the practice keyer alone. *2011-06-18* I bought this for the practice keyer. I works like an osciillator for Morse code practice. Tap the key button, and it produces a tone for as long as you are pressing the button. There's a little chirp or click on key-press and key-release (on an ipad), but that could be due to the speaker. The band-plan section is mainly for Great Britain, with some notes for US/North America, but I haven't compared it directly to the US band plan as given at ARRL. Suggestions for next release: - have separate band plans for GB vs US, or a separate app for GB vs US. - go into greater detail on the sub-bands - in the browser window that does QRZ look-ups, allow contracting/expanding the view with the pinch/pull-apart movement - show punctuation and pro-signs in the Morse Code section, not just letters and numbers. - allow for full screen view when installed on an ipad. - allow for rotation. - investigate the chirp/click on key-press and key-release on ipad. Adjust software to eliminate it, if applicable. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
