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.

Great App

I am just getting back into HF after a long absence and this app is perfect. Gives me all the info I need at the touch of the screen

Would recommend this for new hams or old like me that forget a lot of what I learned

Slick App

Very well done! The UI is inviting. Individual country bands are represented by using photos from that country - very nice.

Great app!

John has done great work. This app is straightforward and easy to use. Contains all the pertinent information needed by new and old hams alike.

Very useful Amateur Radio resource!

This new application is already a very useful resource for my Amateur Radio activities, particularly during field operations when I rely upon my iPhone and/or iPad. The developer definitely used his radio experience when creating this utility. In my view, it is an essential tool for field operators!

Very useful...

Particularly when out portable.
Logically laid out. Easy to navigate - really well thought through and solid.

Fantastic addition to the toolbox

John has done a fantastic job laying out band information. The app is beautiful in it’s simplicity really. All the bands worldwide laid out by country and band with each specifically referencing operating modes, frequency allocations and corresponding notes. Also has external links to governing agencies for reference. The app lets you select to display all countries, countries you select, or even a “favorites” list of individual bands you select as such. Graphically it pleasing and is such a nice upgrade from the standard laminated band plan sheet. Developer responds quickly to questions and I don’t doubt the app will evolve. Well worth the price.

Fantastic addition

I’ve tried many ham radio apps that always seem to promise that they are easy to use and easy to read especially with band usage but this one delivers, it’s easy to easy, user friendly and you can add the bands you use to a favourite list so you don’t have to find them while your out portable. It clearly shows the band plans so there’s no dualt about using it in the wrong place.

A very useful tool

Just have to say, as a M7 this app has come along just at the right time. I have started to explore all the things I can do,and having something that tells you exactly what bands and frequencies are used for what means I can play around with out upsetting other operators.

Handy app on the go.

This app will be great to use when we are allowed out and about portable. The interface is really good and easy to use.

Good mobile resource

This app does a good job of providing the information on the ham band frequency charts but instead of just for the US this is for the entire world - the developer is quick to reply to suggestions. You can tell he has a deep understanding of amateur radio.

Great helpful app

Founds this app very helpful and easy to use. Great point of reference. Many thanks.
