HAMRS

Layout on iPad and iPhone is excellent. Syncing between devices would be excellent as well as some sort of remote sync of logs with sites like qrz.com or any other appropriate logging sites. I’m excited to see what comes next. I would be happy to pay a monthly fee if those options arrived.

Great for POTA but not for the June VHF contest as its missing received grid and maybe more but I didn’t check the ADI output.

In my opinion… HAMRS is the easiest to use and most user friendly app that is available. It is very simple to learn and use for logging contacts in POTA. Everything that Parks on the air requires for a valid log is in this app.

For the high price for this App, you would think the developer would keep it updated often. Now that all the POTA parks have new identifiers this App is becoming useless.

* QRZ Callsign lookup no longer working * Maps don’t appear to be working * POTA Prefixes changing soon Used to be a solid, quick-use option, but has fallen short over the course of the last year. Two stars for effort. Hope all is okay with the software designer, but cannot give it a thumbs up in its current state. Sorry for the poor review, but it is what it is.

I wish I had known that this software is no longer being updated before I bought it. The new POTA changes essentially make this logger useless for POTA.

This was once a great program for POTA logging but the developers lack of updates has made it all but useless. It does not have the capability of recognizing parks over -9999 and if not updated soon will not recognize any park numbers. I hope it is updated because it has the potential to be the perfect logging tool for POTA.

With two exceptions (see below), I’ve been really happy with this app for logging during any portable operations, particularly POTA. The expanded keyboard setting is very helpful for typing call signs on a mobile app, the lookup features work wonderfully (note you need a QRZ subscription to use it for your lookup source), and the app is as optimized and feature-filled as reasonably possible for a mobile app. I’ve not had issues with lost contacts or any of that type of thing since I’ve started using it…at a quick glance, I find 12 separate POTA logs totaling 2,000+ QSOs sitting in my app now with no hiccups. Two minor issues: 1) A bug: When using the POTA template, if you accidentally start typing a call sign in the “their park” box, the QSO will *not* save if you backspace it and type the call in the correct box. Instead, you have to completely clear the QSO and start over. That got me in a pickle a couple times during pileups. 2) Please add support for 5 digit parks! The first time I activated one and didn’t notice, it auto populated my location with the wrong state, grid square, etc. This also created an issue with the QSO map being way off. My fault for not seeing it, but I ended up with 230+ incorrectly recorded QSOs I had to fix before uploading to QRZ and LotW. For those still reading, there is a workaround until an update is made: You just need to manually update the grid square and other pertinent info all the way at the bottom of the QSO input screen *after* entering the 5 digit park number.

Come on man… you can do better… This app WORKED great until five digit parks hit the USA…. Now not so much. Please update the app!!! Until then it is PAPER AND PENCIL for me!!!!

I got this app for the easy of logging QSO’s and to see a map of the contacts. Upon entering my data and that of the contacts the map is blank. I deleted the app and reloaded it just in case. No map regardless of what enter and I have verified the app does have access to my position in settings. Not happy
