Usefull app

Excellent for all HF radio addicts :-)

Nice App

A quite interesting applet. Propagation map is really easy and useful.

DXTOOLBOX

Good piece of software...really handy and reliable

DX Toolbox

I have the PC and Mac version and while this program gives you the same technical data it takes little advantage of the iPad nor the services available in the iOS (e.g. you have to enter your Lat/Long when iOS can provide that data). It is pretty much a crude port into the iOS environment. Its saving grace is that it has all the propagation data you want to look at while contesting and DXing and the grey line chart, while crude in the context of a graphic, still portrays the data in a useful format. Combine with the iPads compact size, it is a useful addition to shack. Given this is a version 1 product, I hope to see improvements and better integration into the iOS environment. VE5CPU

Excellent App

As an avid ham and shortwave listener, I can heartily recommend this app for the wealth of useful information it provides. Well done!!

Excellent apps and tech support

This app is really appreciated and it is really helpful. I would like to mention that the tech support is also awesome. 73 de Jeff | VA2SS

Very useful portable Ham apps

Its a Swiss knife for an Ham portable DX activity. Very complete and updated.

Promising - but frustrating

Promises to be useful - only its unstable (crashes repeatedly). Im using an iPad Air 2 with iOS 10.2. Were it not for the crashes, Id have rated it 5-Stars - for the comprehensiveness and innovativeness.

Does not work

Looks like a work in progress, this app is not ready for release, needs serious work. Can I get my money back?

It works

It works good, supplies all the data it says with an online connection. Gray line map is useful. Read the help section in the upper right corner before using and you will have no problems. A more detailed tutorial would be nice though. Geared toward hams, but swls like myself find it interesting and helpful.

Propagation for Time Calc Crashes

Looks pretty good so far. The Propagation for Time calculation crashes the app hard every time I attempt to use it.

Has the info, but rough around the edges.

This really feels like beta software. The interface is bare bones and feels unfinished. In the Setup menu, why do you have to enter your lat/long by hand, when the iPhone can usually figure that out by itself. The purpose of the buttons under the gray line map is unclear. Graphs need titles and legends and descriptions and such. This isnt very useful in its current form. A shame, because I WANT to like it.

Needs Work!!!

Not impressed.

Meh

Contains some handy information, but nothing you cant get from other sources using a web browser. The user interface needs A LOT of work; leaving the program and coming back starts you at the main page again, no access to internal GPS for obtaining coordinates, creating "Custom Locations" rotates your screen whether you want it or not, etc.

Great app for Hams and shortwave monitors

Pretty much everything you need is here.

Great App

This app is great and has really helped me get a tactical edge on my QRP operations. It is my go to app when using my KX3.

Not a good iPhone app

Many displays are too small to be of value; even enlarging does not fit on screen. Grayline Map displays limited bands 20-10 what happened to 40,80? Map cannot be zoomed/enlarged; location between points is difficult to move or see name of location. Clearly this app is really not meant for the iPhone screen size. There are other apps available which provide real information that give the information an amateur needs for propagation in their location or between points. If this app does that, find it.

Works great.

I use this app quite a bit, mostly to just check space weather, but occasionally for point to point propagation predictions . The only added thing Id want is something like VOAAREA.

The "Go-To" app

It only gets better. If you like something different, ask.

Great Sun App!

This is one of the best Sun App that is out there for Apple IOS. Has practically everything to follow the Sun and helps for Ham Radio.
