DxQSO puts your entire operating life in your pocket — and instead of making you check, it tells you. When QSOs are confirmed or when you get a new confirmed DXCC, state (overall or band based) DxQSO let's you know with either in-app alerts or an email (your choice). Let your friends or club members also know. Find our what they are working on. It works with the logging software you already use — Log4OM, N1MM+, Ham Radio Deluxe, WSJT-X, SmartSDR, SDR Control, the POTA app, and more. Nothing to relearn. DxQSO connects to all of it and brings it together into one living record you carry everywhere. YOUR LOGBOOK, IN YOUR POCKET Your complete operating history — every contact, across every log and every station — on your phone. Browse, search, and filter by call sign, band, mode, country, or DXCC entity, and see at a glance which contacts are confirmed and which are still pending. At the dinner table, on the commute, or in the field, your shack is always with you. QSL ALERTS Any logging app shows the QSOs you have worked — that is just a list. What matters is when they become confirmed QSLs. When LoTW® or QRZ confirms one, DxQSO pushes an alert to your phone. No more opening your logging app to check. No more waiting to get back to the shack. ACHIEVEMENT ALERTS DxQSO knows what you are chasing. The moment a confirmed QSL earns you a new DXCC entity, a new state toward Worked All States or a new grid your phone tells you — with the award it counts toward. Your progress comes to you, in real time. DxSOCIAL — YOUR CLUB AND FRIENDS, LIVE DxSocial is private space for your club, team, and friends, built right into DxQSO. Your club or contest team gets a private area with group messaging, shared files, and forums to plan activations, contests, and Field Day. Follow your friends to see their real time operating activity and achievements as they happen — and share your own. It comes alive during Field Day, major contests, and DX expeditions. ONE RECORD ACROSS EVERY LOG Run a single logbook at home, or juggle a home shack, contest station, remote rig, and POTA field kit — DxQSO accepts ADIF from any source and consolidates everything into one searchable, always-current record. Keep the software you love; DxQSO does the bringing-together. REAL-TIME LOG CAPTURE The Network Listener captures QSOs automatically from SmartSDR, SDR Control, and any app that supports the N1MM UDP broadcast protocol. Log a contact at your radio and it is in DxQSO instantly — no export, no waiting. BUILT FOR POTA, SOTA & PORTABLE OPS In the field, DxQSO is your real-time pipeline to LoTW and QRZ. Upload your ADIF on the spot and DxQSO submits it immediately, or let the Network Listener sync every QSO as you log it. When hunters confirm your contacts, your phone tells you the moment they are credited — so you go home already knowing. DX-TQSL integration keeps your full QSO history with you whether or not you use LoTW. Sign up at dxqso.net and bring every one of your logs with you. 73 de DX Development Corporation If you choose to upgrade to a Member subscription of DxQSO, you will be charged $29.99 US each year as a "DxQSO" subscription in your Apple App Store account.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DxQSO at 5.0 against Celtic View's 2.3. DxQSO also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Celtic View's advantage is ratings volume (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
