I love this app and use it for POTA. I highly recommend this to anyone doing POTA or portable operation of any kind. The only two CONs I can find are. 1. There is no way to import a log if you already deleted it, so don’t delete them. 2, no rig control. I am constantly forgetting to update frequently I’m on so I always have to go back and fix.

Thank you for keeping it simple. I activated my first park this week. I found paper & pencil a necessity due to the cold temperatures (and wearing gloves). However, after returning home and logging the data into HAMRS, it easily uploaded into my QRZ logbook & adi file to POTA. After reviewing the uploaded data, I realized that future info or changes are needed for the QRZ logbook. Example: 1. QTH Field POTA: <K-####> <park name> 2. Correct Latitude & Longitude (It would be nice to add this manually as specific gps info might be different for each activation.) 3. Correct County 4. CQ Zone & ITU Zone might change as an operator visits different states or countries. It sure would be nice if LOTW would help to make operating portable or mobile easier. Operators really want to capture the QSO & the “real” location.

Thank you for the great app. Suggested by K8MRD! I have one suggestion: the app I was using before, HamLog, which was far inferior to this app for POTA logging, did have one feature that I appreciated…having a keyboard change when entering a call that included a set of numbers instead of the suggested words above the QWERTY keyboard. This would help in inputting callsigns quite a bit, since you wouldn’t have to switch to numbers and then back to letters.
