Nice idea but

Using it for new FT8 countries. So far every spot is a garbage callsign. It would be nice if the app checked against the QRZ database and indicated whether the call was found or not

Not so great on iPhone

If setting the triggers worked on other things besides call signs, it would be a great app. When I try and add a US park reference as a trigger, the screen will freeze with the only useable option being “Done” which saves nothing preventing you from ever being allowed to get alerts for any parks while using the iPhone. The only thing I can save are call signs and nothing else. I tried multiple times, at different orientations, but all of the entry fields will freeze after I enter a park number.

Does not work

Set up a simple query. One call, POTA. Call sign active a number of times. No alter!

It works

I needed 5 states to finish WAS-RTTY. It alerted all 5 last night during a RTTY contest. Worked 4 of them. Still need AK.
