HAMRS for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great Basic LoggerGreat basic logger for POTA. Just what I was looking for at it’s not even at 1.0 yet. It is being updated constantly and adding new features. I can’t wait to see where it is a year from now. In it’s current state I can log POTA QSO’s easily. I’m excited to see the new features being added!.Version: 0.9.10
✓ UpdatesApp is very helpful, but the qso map doesn’t work on my iPhone. Also, is there any update on adding a import feature to move logs between devices?.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Fantastic AppThank you so much for this app. I’ve been struggling for six months to find a good POTA app while mobile and you nailed it!.Version: 0.9.8
✓ A brilliant lightweight logbook for use in the UKI’ve been looking for a lightweight IOS logbook I can use out in the field for SOTA events for ages. At last, I have found it. HAMRS meets the requirements of a fast and easy logger and then some. The fields are large and easy to see in daylight, as is what I type - something that’s been a problem with other logbooks I’ve tried. Creating multiple logs for multiple summits is so easy and when I activated three summits in one day recently it really helped that if you name each logbook according to the summit you’re activating the name of the log sits large and proud at the top of the screen - enabling you to ‘remember’ the summit reference with ease during contacts. I say lightweight, but it does have some great additional features; it’s funny how I know the names of the stations I’m contacting and their locations within seconds of making contact and those stations are often asking me, ‘have we worked before?’. No, it’s just my logging software pulls certain data from online callbooks if you’re fortunate enough to have internet access. Uploading files to the SOTA database is very easy and I can import the adif files it generates into my main RUMlogNG logbook with ease. Being on an Apple infrastructure makes this a doddle as the files are saved to my cloud drive so they’re on my desktop computer before I get home. I have also used the software for operating away from home on field days and when camping on holiday. The different templates adapt the logbook to the particular use to which it’s being put, so irrelevant data entry fields are revealed/hidden according to the template chosen. This software works on my iPad, iPhone, MacBook, Mac Mini and Windows laptop. This means that I will be using it for our next club event and getting my fellow club members familiar with it. This logbook is worth every penny. Sure, I have a wish-list as long as my arm, but if it were to be implemented fully then it’d no longer be lean, quick and lightweight and I’d be complaining. It fits the bill exactly and is great for use in the UK, and anywhere else outside the US I suspect. Enjoy..Version: 0.11.3
✓ Great app with some room for excellenceLayout 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..Version: 1.0.6
✓ SimpleThanks so much for keeping it simple. I just wish the QSO map worked on iOS ..Version: 1.0.6
✓ 99.9% perfect.Some minor issues. Left one park and traveled to another. Started a new logbook and for some reason non of my contacts would show on the new map. I’m assuming the app should have been killed and reopened for it to reping my location for qso mapping to work again. Also micro layout issues with text being overlaid with phones time and signal strength icons. Would also like to see more control over layout. Would like to see a dark mode. Over all very nice app..Version: 0.10.5
✓ Finally!Just what I need for POTA and nothing else. Dirt simple. Thanks for making this. Well worth the money..Version: 0.9.8
✓ POTA LoggerThank 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..Version: 0.10.3
✓ Great app. Would like to see tweaksWorks great for pota ! I wish it saved each log until I delete it. It might save for one or two times and then you have to submit a new log. Tried to upload log to LotW but the grid was off a bit. Went in to change it and log nowhere. Other than that it’s a great logger. Very easy and basic. Wish it logged more templates now. Fb devs.Version: 0.10.4
✓ Very functional, a few rough edgesEarly this morning, I was searching for POTA app to show map with park ID number and details. This isn’t that but a very functional logger for operating in portable locations, including POTA. First time use observations: - Creates a log for each event we participate in. - Great for Duplicate contact checking - My data is set once for this activation - QRZ.com integration is awesome Stuff that I’d like to see improved - Dark Mode since all that white display background drains my older iPad’s battery - sort contacts by date/time. I needed to edit a few contact’s frequency and they were scattered in the log. - scroll bar if fields don’t fit in box. I lost the Frequency & Mode fields until I realized I could scroll the My Info box..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Works very well but could use a few additionsThis app is fantastic - I’ve been using it for SOTA and it works exceptionally well and looks good - logs can be uploaded right to the SOTA website. A couple things I’d like: * When I set my call sign as /P, it seems to need to be modified on EVERY QSO, which is very time consuming. I just edit the ADI file after now. * There is no notes field for a QSO - why not? Seems pretty critical! * The name field seems to default to all capitals - sort of annoying..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Looks like a great way to log POTAThis may make my field paper logging easier. There is one feature that might improve it: Keep the numbers permanently above the keyboard to simplify typing callsigns. (The QRZ app does this.).Version: 1.0.5
✓ Numerical KeyboardAbsolutely spot on - extended number keyboard - now I can ditch my physical keyboard and reduce weight whilst portable. this app after a shaky start is going from strength to strength, thank you.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Excellent!Very nice POTA logger..Version: 0.9.9
✓ Excellent! Just needs an updateWith 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..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Great job…quick suggestionThank 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..Version: 0.11.5
✓ It’s Awesome!I just downloaded this app as I was leaving the house. I did my 4th POTA activation (K-2201) today and, while I didn’t log as I went along, I was able to quickly and easily transpose my paper log afterwards. It’s very clean and polished. Pretty great for an early stages app! I look forward to seeing what’s coming down the road. Great work so far! Keep up the great work!.Version: 0.11.4
✓ An app for him operatorsFinally an app that is made for those who want to put ham radio information in a simple format. Also having an ability to have templates when you have different situations is incredible. And that somebody finally created an iOS app for us hams. Finally!.Version: 0.11.3
✓ Implemented all the suggestions I’d made previouslyThis app is great. It’s progressed from being quite buggy and lightweight to a really serious contender for #1 logging app. I use this to log my contacts once I get off the hill, but I feel like I could probably use it in real time now that it’s matured. I like being able to enter the times retrospectively, and I also like the extended keyboard for entering callsigns. It could be useful to have it on the MGR as well, as it seemed to only be available on the callsign..Version: 1.0.6
