DX Toolbox for Negative User Reviews

✓ DX toolboxThis app could be useful as it has lots of potential, unfortunately it crashes a lot particularly during date entry on my I phone so it will only ever calculate today's current information. The global maps also show no change and remain black even with data entered. Disappointed I paid for this and it is of minimal use as it looked promising. N.Mansonator53Version: 1.0.1

✓ Not a good iPhone appMany 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..Desert RancherVersion: 1.1.0

✓ MehContains some handy information, but nothing you can't 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..McNeightVersion: 1.0.1

✓ 2021. Woefully outdated.Needs an updated. Wonky interface, requiring tapping through rows, unsaved settings, strange UX. Please update..JsatpdxVersion: 1.5

✓ Propagation for Time Calc CrashesLooks pretty good so far. The Propagation for Time calculation crashes the app hard every time I attempt to use it..M. C. JordanVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Not as good as expectedOnly had it install for about five minutes and it's returned me to my iPad's home screen seven times so far. The app's still running and I can go back to it, but it keeps throwing me out. Every D layer map shows a maximum frequency of 0 MHz all over the globe. I think I want my money back. Shame I can't give no stars for the review as it doesn't deserve 1 star..G7LFCVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Really bad data presentationVarious graphs claimed in description are useless as the horizontal axes ARE NOT LABELED! The axis is time presumably but without units it is not possible to interpret. Really bad presentation of data. If one was interested in this app as a source of the various solar weather data, it is pointless compared to other apps. Waste of money for that. No opinion on the maps..Tx9753Version: 1.5

✓ Pity about the UIThis is a very useful app with lots of good stuff for radio amateurs. The problem is withe the user interface which is clumsy, ugly, clunky and obscure. That stops a useful app from being very good..Praise to the good!Version: 1.0.1

✓ Some data issuesThis app hasn’t been updated in a long time and I’ve noticed that the solar data it uses isn’t up-to-date. That causes the calls to be wrong. I’d love to see the developer update the software connection to the data sources. Thanks..N1mieVersion: 1.5

✓ A disappointmentHave the desktop version of this app which is very good, however the iOS version is not as good and you have to add long/lats as opposed to a drop down list of countries on the desktop version..NickyB65Version: 1.4.0

✓ Needs Work!!!Not impressed..Kilo 4 . .Version: 1.0.1

✓ This was good but now shouldn’t be for saleThis was once a great app with many useful areas of information reported that add to the understanding of HF propagation. It relies on getting its data from the web. Unfortunately, many of the links to the data are broken or discontinued. No attempt has been made to find alternative sources of data. There is so much broken it should no longer be offered for purchase!.LambastVersion: 1.5

✓ So much broken!I used this app a lot when I got it, but then everything worked. So many areas now no longer work due to broken links. I tried contacting the developer, but they appear to have no interest in supporting this app any longer, they did not even reply. Once recommended but not now. Give this one a pass..Stripey1960Version: 1.5

✓ Does not workLooks like a work in progress, this app is not ready for release, needs serious work. Can I get my money back?.Dl7aegVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Needs workThe graphs do not show values in the x axis. Location entry for stations do not support a grid square. Did this app make it through testing for iphone 12? I am requesting a refund..LinuspeteVersion: 1.5

✓ Doesn’t work anymoreI can’t get most of it to work anymore. None of the maps work. Only the home page. What gives?.JhkayakrVersion: 1.5

✓ 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 isn't very useful in its current form. A shame, because I WANT to like it. 😥.MookieCVersion: 1.0.0

✓ DX ToolboxI 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. It's 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.
