Pinwheels, crashes, locks up. Had been great in past. ### 4/5 — iCluster works on iPad *2015-03-06* iCluster works on my iPad. When in settings, I need to be in portrait view to see all the buttons. Then switch back to landscape or stay with portrait view if you prefer. ### 3/5 — Leider noch immer keine Fehlerfreiheit im neuen IOS *2014-10-18* Es ist schade, das im neuen IOS noch immer keine Detailanzeige funktioniert. **Developer response:** Since this bug has been fixed shortly after reporting, please consider updating your review. Thank you. 73, Marcus, DL8MRE ### 4/5 — Great mobile ham App *2014-03-10* This is a must have App for mobile Ham. The new filtering feature allows you to only see spots from spotters in your region, as well as a bunch of other options. I was looking for that feature in a cluster. Qrz integration is cool too. Only wish there was a logging program integrated That way I wouldn't have to switch back and forth between Apps. ### 4/5 — ICluster *2012-12-06* Seems to update frequently which is good. Perhaps a future reviewer or the app designer might explain how the data is collected: i.e. is it all as heard in one location or fed in from operators around the world. In the case of a single point collection from say, East coast USA, then many of the higher band reports would be of limited use to those in other countries. For DX operators or SWLs though, this appears to be a most useful app. VK3PDG ### 3/5 — Filters *2012-09-27* Zone filter for spotter not working on iPad for me. Call area works but all countries come through. ### 4/5 — Eigentlich Gut *2012-07-17* Moin Moin , Habe mir diese aufgespielt und bin eigentlich zufrieden , aber leider sind immer die jüngsten Meldungen anstatt mit einer Uhrzeit , mit Fragezeichen versehen ! Abhilfe ? ### 5/5 — Invaluable DX tool *2012-02-10* A very user friendly app which i find myself using lots. It enables the user to monitor by band or mode with filters for spotter and spot by zone or prefix. ### 5/5 — The I cluster ap *2012-02-03* This is second ap that I have brought from this author, both of them are really useful, and they perform quite well. They do what is claimed. I hope the author gets time to get on air too, and not become rare dx himself! by a vk3 op. ### 5/5 — Excellent ham app *2012-01-04* What a pleasant surprise to find this app for the iPad2. I can now check spots without going near my shack and It will come in handy when on mobile activities. Still to field test it, but I am sure I will not be disappointed. ### 4/5 — Near Excellent *2011-12-17* I wish I had known about this app long ago. As a 100% DX chaser this is a real time saver. I can't wait until being able to filter to CW Only mode along with selection of band. ### 5/5 — Absolut empfehlenswert! *2011-12-16* Als SWL nutze ich diese App, damit ich mir einen schnellen Überblick über die jeweils aktuellen Ausbreitungsbedingungen verschaffen kann. Für meine Bedürfnisse ist der Funktionsumfang vollkommen ausreichend. Der Support ist hervorragend; Programmfehler werden umgehend korrigiert. ### 5/5 — Alles Perfekt *2011-12-09* Danke für die neuen Filter. Nun ist das Programm für mich perfekt. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor software support for telnet password authentication *2021-03-25* This software lacks the reliability and ability for a secured login to a server with a password. The developer seems not to understand the gravity of internet security and refuses to work with me as a fellow customer and developer to solve any issues. Just says “oh, it works for me.” AVOID THIS SOFTWARE! ### 1/5 — Something is not working *2015-05-03* If you tap on the filter icon, and select a filter parameter, you cannot get back to the main page. Period. You have to shut the application down and then open it again. And guess what? The filter you selected before you shut down the application is, yes, unselected. This bug makes the application essentially unusable. **Developer response:** Since this bug has been fixed shortly after reporting, please consider updating your review. Thank you. 73, Marcus, DL8MRE ### 1/5 — ICluster - The DX -Cluster Database *2013-05-04* Loved the app until the May 3 update. I do not like having to the spotting of all bands at the same time on the screen. Can't select jus one band anymore. Dumped the app. ### 1/5 — Reports can't reach server *2012-05-16* Several times now app reports can't reach server even if my iPad can see the Internet well enough to display a cluster on safari. Not good. ### 1/5 — Inoperable *2011-12-05* Won't even run, shuts down immediately. ### 1/5 — Useless in the US *2010-08-02* Needs the ability to pick a dx cluster; the hardcoded cluster has only European reports. ### 1/5 — Broken *2010-06-24* No longer works with OS4 ### 2/5 — Locks up my iPad *2015-01-22* Locks up the iPad most times I use it. **Developer response:** Since this bug has been fixed shortly after reporting, please consider updating your review. Thank you. 73, Marcus, DL8MRE ### 2/5 — Stopped working today *2014-11-24* Can't find server & will not allow another server to be used. ### 2/5 — Useless here *2010-09-14* No spotting info from us spotters. Should have the ability to pick cluster server to solve this problem. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ICluster *2022-06-02* Sehr gute App, einfach zu bedienen, nutze sie auch gerne unterwegs. ### 5/5 — Perfekt *2022-05-01* Endlich eine App mit der ich auch Filter in den Kommentaren setzen kann und somit mich über über WCA Spots benachrichtigen lassen kann..
