### 1/5 — Export problems

*2024-12-03*

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.

### 4/5 — A must have for POTA

*2024-09-16*

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.

### 5/5 — 5 Star app

*2024-03-26*

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.

### 2/5 — Needs to be updated!

*2024-03-20*

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.

### 2/5 — Save Your Money - No Updates

*2024-03-18*

* 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.

### 1/5 — Was Great

*2024-03-03*

This was once a great program for POTA logging but the developers lack of updates has made it all but useless. It does not have the capability of recognizing parks over -9999 and if not updated soon will not recognize any park numbers. I hope it is updated because it has the potential to be the perfect logging tool for POTA.

### 1/5 — Updates needed.

*2024-02-01*

I wish I had known this app wasn't being supported anymore when I bought it a month ago. Feeling ripped off. Lots of new parks near me but this app is useless for them. Wish I could get my money back.

### 4/5 — Great app with some room for excellence

*2023-12-04*

Layout on iPad and iPhone is excellent. Syncing between devices would be excellent as well as some sort of remote sync of logs with sites like qrz.com or any other appropriate logging sites. I’m excited to see what comes next. I would be happy to pay a monthly fee if those options arrived.

### 1/5 — NEEDS A FIVE DIGIT PARK UPDATE

*2023-12-01*

Come on man… you can do better… This app WORKED great until five digit parks hit the USA…. Now not so much. Please update the app!!! Until then it is PAPER AND PENCIL for me!!!!

### 2/5 — Map is inop

*2023-10-25*

I got this app for the easy of logging QSO’s and to see a map of the contacts. Upon entering my data and that of the contacts the map is blank. I deleted the app and reloaded it just in case. No map regardless of what enter and I have verified the app does have access to my position in settings. Not happy
