Log a contact and watch it fly. QSO Globe is a ham radio logbook built around a living 3D globe. Every QSO you log launches a golden arc from your station to theirs — across a planet that shows the real day and night, with the greyline crawling as you operate. THE GLOBE • Real solar terminator — watch dawn and dusk sweep the earth and work the greyline like the old-timers taught • City lights at night, band-colored arcs, a pulsing beacon at your QTH • Country outlines, animated / static / dots-only line styles, km or miles LOG FAST • Callsign + LOG is enough — everything else is optional • Tap a band chip and the frequency prefills; reports fill themselves (59/599) • Dupe warnings the POTA way (call + band + mode per UTC day) • Session log and lifetime log, swipe to delete, UTC times throughout • A drawn-in-app band plan reference, one tap away POTA, PROPERLY • Activation mode: enter your park by ref or name and your arcs launch from it • Live spots: activators on the air appear as green pins — tap one and the log bar fills itself • Park-to-park contacts resolve to the actual park KEEP YOUR LOG YOURS • ADIF import and export, ready for LoTW and POTA uploads • Push to QRZ Logbook and eQSL with your own accounts • No account, no analytics — everything stays on your phone END THE SESSION WITH A SOUVENIR • Replay your session, arc by arc • A share card that tells the truth: "WORKED 4 COUNTRIES ON 2 CONTINENTS" only when you actually did Made by one ham for the rest of us. 73!

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Morse Code Hack at 4 against QSO Globe's 1. Morse Code Hack also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
