Disappointed in features and development
I purchased this app, hoping that it would sync up with my MacLoggerDX log files by way of iCloud sharing. Unfortunately this is not the case. I would have to transfer back-and-forth to update logs. Also, there’s no filter other than frequency and mode for the cluster. I like the feature on the desktop where you can filter out between local and DX. I’m also disappointed that it doesn’t have a field for POTA. I don’t see myself using this app on my iPad, I will just use a paper log and then enter into my desktop when I get back. For me, it was a waste of $40. I highly recommend MacloggerDX, but don’t recommend HD because of it’s shortcomings.

Not worth it.
This app is useless without the Mac version. Very disappointed. Doesn’t know what the ICloud is? Can’t add new clusters for DX which is pretty much all it does.
Wanting
The Mac app is great, so I bought this under the assumption it would be similarly comprehensive and impressive. Instead the app feels like it misses the mark.
The app hasn’t been updated in 4 years, and it really shows. Newer iPad models with wider screens will have black bars on either side of the app, and UI images are blurry.
Additionally, though the Mac app is great for keyboard shortcuts, none exist for the iOS app. This feels like a missed opportunity, as quick HF QSOs often aren’t great times to be hunting around for buttons to press on an app when you’re juggling multiple bits of hardware like your radio.
Log syncing is also clunky (the app uses AirDrop and email), and should really be much more seamless for the money this app costs.

iOS7 App Crash update
After the latest update and bug fix, the App loads properly and doesn't crash on startup. Program appears to be working now. Developer was fast to address the problem and provide a bug fix. Thanks.
Great product for the HAM operator
I’ve used Don’s MacLogger program on the Mac for over 10 years. Don is a super developer and keeps his apps up-to-date. He also provides great support through his Yahoo groups, usually answering questions within a day. He does frequent app updates and is continually adding features. I was thrilled to see the iPad version of his logging software. The iPad app is well designed, easy to use and is great for mobile or fixed base use. The database is completely compatible with the Mac OS version of the program and sync’s through iTunes app document sharing. It doesn’t merge files with the desktop files, which was probably done to prevent errors or may be a limitation of iTunes data sync. A separate database is created that can be merged easily with the desktop version. The sync process is easy and well explained in his through help pages. You do not need the desktop app to use the iPad version, though. Great app that I enjoy using and would recommend to iPad using HAM’s. 73 K5AD - joe
