Peter’s product is nothing short of perfection, support for a free product is beyond any expectations. I am now using a QRP-Labs U4B @ 20mW (yes 20mW) to study my antenna builds and propagation in general. The responses from Peter to my questions or problems were only delayed due to the time distance from USA to Australia. Fantastic program. ### 5/5 — Perfect App *2024-06-19, version 4.13* WSPRnet API hasn’t worked for a few weeks now. Just curious if that data server is no longer available? I’ve been using just WSPRnet (not API). Love the app though! Daily use here and very thankful to have it! 6/18/1024 - still not getting any data from WSPRnet API. Now for the past couple of days, I’m getting nothing from WSPRnet itself for this app. I see my spots on my PC browser, but not in this app. I miss having this data available. ### 5/5 — Even better than WSPRnet! *2024-05-11, version 4.11* What a fabulous app for WSPR enthusiasts! Continually being updated with neat features and aesthetics. Hats off to the developer. Thank you 🙏 ### 5/5 — Perfect App *2024-03-27* WSPRnet API hasn’t worked for a few weeks now. Just curious if that data server is no longer available? I’ve been using just WSPRnet (not API). Love the app though! Daily use here and very thankful to have it! ### 5/5 — Absolutely first rate *2024-02-28, version 4.11* Highly recommended. Dennis Havlena W8MI Northern Michigan ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-10-25, version 4.4* Great app ### 5/5 — ❤️ Amazing App ❤️ *2023-09-26* ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ This great Developer has created an amazing app for the Ham Community. I highly suggest you download it. WSPR Watch does not collect any user-data. The newest version 4 looks amazing on iPhone and especially iPad. A big thank you to the developer! Bravo! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Amazing APP *2023-09-25, version 4.1* ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ This is an Amazing app for the Ham Community. A big thank you to the Developer! Great work! Thank you for keeping our data private. ### 5/5 — Top quality app - best by far. *2023-09-19, version 4* Congratulations to the author Peter, great to see the latest iteration of his app, feature after feature has been added over a consistent period of updates and development measured in years. Fast data access from a range of sources, easy to use with an intuative layout. Top Marks :-) Phil VK7JJ ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-07-25, version 3.67* Great app provided in the true spirit of amateur radio. It just works! Mapping is clear and the overall presentation is clean and simple to use. The developer is quick to respond to requests for customer support. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Amazing app, amazing developer *2023-05-03* I love using this app opposed to the PSKReporter website. It’s faster, not as clunky, and more convenient to use as it remembers your Callsign. I reached out to the developer when I couldn’t filter my signal strength doing FT8 and he realized the gap and put in a fix within a week. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised! Now I can track my hotspots, which isn’t even a feature I have found on PSKReporter. Can’t remember if I paid for this app or not, but it’s certainly worth some $$. ### 5/5 — Fun and so easy to use *2023-04-13, version 3.61* Thank you for WSPR Watch, it makes WSPR more fun! ### 5/5 — Fantastic Implementation *2023-02-02* The main website has definitely got some issues related to the Google maps API. Even when I added an API key that was issued to me, it’s still did not work correctly. This implementation uses Apple maps and loads perfectly. I typically load this on my iPad when I’m testing an antenna, or just checking propagation in general. I highly recommend trying this app. ### 5/5 — International Wspr project *2022-11-04, version 3.44* This app is quick and easy way to check all bands are working ok. ### 5/5 — Portrait vs Landscape *2022-10-28* Last version (0ct 2022). Spot Info is jumbled in Portrait mode. Ok in Landscape. iPhone 13 mini and 13 standard. This bug appeared after adding new info. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2022-10-04, version 3.40* I love this little app! Map looks beautiful, all the information is there AND it works both on my mac and ios. Well worth the money! ### 5/5 — Can TX Also *2022-09-08* I can confirm that just holding up the mic to my iPhone worked on my mobile 10 mtr rig. I got reports from over 2k mikes away first try:) ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2022-08-21, version 3.38* In the last 24 hours I set up my first WSPR outpost. Constantly looking around at data online, often to be disappointed by the lack of contacts I was making, as generally only unique contacts are registered. Then I came across this WSPR app! It’s all here folks! Every contact, unique or otherwise. Logs, spreadsheet, visual data, a map and receiving station information to name a few. I’m slowly discovering more and more this app delivers. Thanks Peter! Great app and well done! Terry VK2SOT ### 5/5 — Brilliant WSPR App *2022-03-27, version 3.36* Nothing more to add really. Been using for a few years and it’s just the job. Miles better than the official WSPR site. EXCELLENT!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Major Deficiency *2021-11-04* I’m a six meter DX fan so I downloaded this app to help me monitor the band. It has a major deficiency. I set it to display all spots in the past hour on six. I usually get only a few spots. When I go to the WSPRwatck web site and use the same settings I always get at least 10x the number of spots! The app is more convenient, so please fix it!! ### 3/5 — PSK reporter doesn’t work *2020-04-07, version 3.9.2* It worked for a while then quit ### 3/5 — Your current update to WSPR for version 4 *2019-12-04, version 3.7* Your current update to WSPR concerting the minimum DX distance does not work for version 4 ### 3/5 — Crashes *2019-11-25, version 3.6.4* It would be useful if it didn’t keep crashing all the time. ### 3/5 — Please fix this *2019-04-05, version 3.4.1* On iPhone 5se, the hourly look back period is obscured by the keyboard. ### 4/5 — Audio input for WSPR receive? *2019-12-21, version 3.8.1* Just discovered this neat app. Allows me to keep an eye on what my home station is hearing, plus audio output would allow me to transmit WSPR tones. Fab! What I can’t discover is whether I can feed WSPR tones IN, from a receiver, to decode on the phone. I tried tapping the email button in the app but nothing happens on my iPhone SE. Great app. Thanks - G4EFE ### 4/5 — WSPR watch. *2019-04-24, version 3.4.2* Just did update for transmit expecting to hear tone shifting but have been told that I shift is very small so thought there was a problem! My mistake! Dave G4BTI ### 4/5 — Works great, very useful *2019-01-22, version 3.3* Useful for working out which amateur bands are most active. ### 4/5 — WSPR Essential! *2018-08-28, version 3.0.2* I use this app every day to track both my TX and RX WSPR activity. 73, David M0VGA ### 4/5 — Great app despite unexplained feature *2018-01-21* This is a great little WSPR app. Glad to have found it. Love the miles (or kilometers) per watt calculation. Like others have posted it is very unclear what the colored bars indicate - no doubt know hat would make the app even better. I would also like to view the map in satellite mode. 73! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Runs well on M1 MacMini *2026-06-17, version 4.36* Was using it on my iPhone but runs well on my M1 Mac mini also. Excellent where I can click on a particular band received and see exactly who has received my Wspr Tx and who I have received. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-22, version 4.33* Love this app both iPad and iPhone… Tnx’s for the update 73 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — WSPR *2025-12-08, version 4.30* What a fantastic piece of kit, Works great on my MAC ### 5/5 — New upgrade to app *2025-11-20* I just looked at the new upgrade to the app. Peter the developer has always been on top of new stuff and keeping the app running smoothly. The globe vision of the world is superb. Of all the WSPR apps, this one is the best. Easy to use. Thanks **Developer response:** Very kind of you. 73 ### 5/5 — WSPR watch *2025-11-14, version 4.27* What a nice piece of kit, Probably the best APP on my MAC Thank you ### 5/5 — Sample, yet powerful *2025-10-08* I started to learn the art of Hm , and this app provide a good visual view of the Call names. Great work, I can’t wait to see the add on. Thank you. **Developer response:** Very kind of you. Best wishes with your Ham Radio journey. Thank you for five stars - greatly appreciated. ### 5/5 — Nothing else like it *2025-08-31* I have used this app every day for several years. It has evolved into an awesome program. Thanks to Peter Marks and his team. ### 5/5 — Best WSPR viewer! *2025-06-08, version 4.18* This is hands down the best WSPR app of them all. Beats all the websites. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-05-04, version 4.18* Love this app both iPad and iPhone but why can we not zoom out on the map and see all the spots very annoying…. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2025-02-15, version 4.16* Very slick, does everything it needs and nothing else, couldn’t ask for more. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
