Not worth it
Costs too much money. Not even real radio. I was expecting it to be on par with real ham radio but not even close. Also, they listen in on your conversation and they would block you if you talk about something that they deem is inappropriate, and it is not even the case. Don’t bother with this make believe crap. Get a real radio.

Network Problems Disconnected
It looks good but after 10 seconds I get an error saying ‘Network Problems Disconnected. I’ve downloaded my version ‘IPhone 8-plus with a 5g connection. Not sure what to do.
Do not sign up for a subscription
You will never be able to cancel. I signed up in 2012 and canceled my subscription. In 2021 I received notification from PayPal that I paid for this subscription again but I did not authorize it. I disputed with Paypal but they sided with this company. I then asked for a refund from the company explaining I haven’t used this product since 2012. They said I must produce a cancellation ticket. I told them I don’t have it. They told me to take responsibility and admit I never cancelled the product. They also told me that they have written off the interest. Interest??
I told them to send me log in info so I can go in and cancel. I am still awaiting the info.
Horrible customer service!!!!! Use at your own risk.

DONT PURCHASE SUBSCRIPTION
This app was wayyyy better about 4 years ago. Completely not worth it anymore. No ones ever really on it. It’s worth the free trial to play for a few day’s but that’s it. SHOULD ONLY BE A ONE TIME PAYMENT NOT SUBSCRIPTION. It’s a rip off. Not to mention the fact as an actual licensed ham operator this is not on real ham bands. It’s simulated to act like it which was cool. But don’t be fooled this is not real HAM BAND frequencies.

Ridiculous. Need for a license. Y?
This should just be for enthusiast. Not sure why you need a license. Everything is artificial HF. Unnecessary deterioration of communication. HF Ham operators are actually doing the complete opposite of what this app is doing. In every way possible. Long distance clear signals and propagation with out the any digital connections.

No customer service to correct country error
Like a lot of amateur radio operators, I hold US extra certification, yet I step into Canada and the IP address being Canadian shuts the app... I have written multiple emails to their support without any human (or intelligible) response. I am sure I’m not the only person attempting to use this app that is in countries other than their home/licensed country. I’m just glad I discovered this glitch before shelling $$$

Barely Two Stars
This app is terrible. It will not connect to a blue tooth device even when said device is connected to your phone. It crashes every time you make a band change. It disconnects every ten seconds claiming network problems. I’m glad I did not give them any money. One day on the free trial and I’m done. Deleting this app.

Needs more work
Does not use US band limits..
Crap
Does not recognize my callsign. Pathetic, I’ve been a ham 25 years you think they would update the database.
Doesn’t work. At all.
I’ve tried repeatedly to log in and it has never connected. Constant network errors and unable to contact HamSphere servers.
Total waste of time and waste of money. Utter garbage.

Used for Obtain Email TERRIBLE
This app tells me that my legal identification does not exist, and only obtain my mail for spam purpuses i think.
Terrible!!!!

Not worth money
It’s kind of fun but not worth any money
Clunky but works!
Room for improvement but it does work. Just had QSO from Fl to upper NY on 40 meters! 5/9 report on both sides!
Costs WAY too much.
It’s moderately interesting. Of course it isn’t real radio. That claim is never made. This is as much of real amateur radio as a flight simulator is flying a real plane. It is make-believe. It’s all VoIP. No RF is going out anywhere. Yet, it could be fun, entertaining, and even educational. I haven’t played with it on my computer (Mac), but just my iDevices. The potential is there. Some of the unlicensed “radio enthusiasts” do take it a little WAAAY too seriously. A lot of folks seem to be mainly just interested in accumulating as many virtual QSL cards as possible. Virtual QSL cards seems to be a type of way to keep a “score”. I did have a few interesting “contacts” and participated in a few nets though. My biggest complaint, however, is the costs. I could see a reasonable annual subscription rate, but not what HamSphere is asking. THEN they want you to buy virtual equipment! You have to be joking. Sorry, if I’m buying gear, I’m buying REAL hardware not virtual “make-believe” stuff. Again, the potential is there. Someone new to radio could potentially learn operating procedures and conventions, but the pricing model is ridiculous. You’d be better off just LISTENING in on web SDR’s for a while which is REAL amateur radio and completely FREE. As for the software itself, expect frequent network disconnects and app crashes because it isn’t fully baked yet.

Garbage, Don't Wast Your Time!
I'm an extra and have been a ham for over 19 years. It does not even recognize the call sign to activate account. Ain't wast your time!
Does not accept ATT email addy
Why is att blocking you? For no reason is not an answer. Figure it out.
It's ok
It's a bit weird to learn at first but it kinda works
Sad State
This application promised so much and delivered so little. Constantly crashes current versions of iOS.
Developer, please update this application.
