Not worth it

Wish it had more info like what digital modes are on what frequencies.

Doesn’t provide breakdowns by license type

I have a general class license, so I have limitations. I was hoping this app would be easier to read than the ham band charts freely available. It is not. Not recommended. Go get the free chart from ARRL.

Us band plans

So I was hoping to be able to see my frequency allocations as a general class operator but the app show that I have access to the entire 40m band which is not the case. Not a lot of value here. I will just save the pdf from arrl to my phone.

Useful app

I’m new to operating on the hf bands the app is very useful and well laid out for operating on the right position of the chosen band and within my license conditions. Cheers.

Not a lot

Not a lot in it tbh. Pointless map picture takes up too much screen estate. Concept is good but detail is fairly sparse. Not worth paying for at this stage.
