Export problems

Seeing lots of positive mentions of this software, I thought I would give it a try. It works at accepting and storing QSO details but it is useless to me because I cannot export the log (adi) file via Gmail on my iPad. I found plenty of other users that started to complain about this in October, 2024.
When you try to export via Gmail the app states that Gmail will not accept the adi file as an attachment. So, for me, this was a waste of$5 and a few hours of installing, using, and troubleshooting.

A must have for POTA

I love this app and use it for POTA. I highly recommend this to anyone doing POTA or portable operation of any kind. The only two CONs I can find are. 1. There is no way to import a log if you already deleted it, so don’t delete them. 2, no rig control. I am constantly forgetting to update frequently I’m on so I always have to go back and fix.

5 Star app

In my opinion… HAMRS is the easiest to use and most user friendly app that is available. It is very simple to learn and use for logging contacts in POTA. Everything that Parks on the air requires for a valid log is in this app.

Needs to be updated!

For the high price for this App, you would think the developer would keep it updated often. Now that all the POTA parks have new identifiers this App is becoming useless.

Save Your Money - No Updates

* QRZ Callsign lookup no longer working
* Maps don’t appear to be working
* POTA Prefixes changing soon

Used to be a solid, quick-use option, but has fallen short over the course of the last year. Two stars for effort. Hope all is okay with the software designer, but cannot give it a thumbs up in its current state. Sorry for the poor review, but it is what it is.
