Was great when it was more vigorously maintained

It’s understandable that people move on and do different things. I have used the great tool for years, and have enjoyed it, but it is now 2026 and the last update occurred in 2023. QRZ has perhaps modified some things that result in an annoying error every time I start to enter a new contact. It slows me down when the band conditions are good and I’m making contacts. The remaining tools are light weight enough and useful, so I plan to keep this around for those features , but I’m looking for a new logger.

No easy Import

I bought the app as I was looking for a way to view and edit ADI(F) files stored locally on iPhone/iPad. The description says you can import, but when I tried there‘s actually no way to import locally stored log files (I generate and export through iFTx, before uploading to Wavelog from my device I‘d get a chance to view and edit, that’s what I was looking for). You can only import log files stored on a Web Server or from your Mac - but in that case I can just view and edit on my Mac right away.

Apart from that a great app with lots of features and tools for a very reasonable price!

Ancient Reviews

The Reviews are ancient, 10 years or more and there have been so many updates since then . This is May 2025 now. Check the log and tools screen shots to find so many useful tools, I often use the Clock, log, Location, call sign lookup when operating HF portable and POTA and when Adjusting the field antenna it is helpful to have the 1/4 & 1/2 wavelength dimensions.
