Ratings and reviews

The file is generated, but I cannot copy paste it into the folder required. Can't restore file due to the developer requiring the backup be placed in a folder Android does not give you access to! It was otherwise a decent app, BUT THERE IS NO RESTORE function even it it says there is. You'll lose your info at some point and the restore function will not work! Put it in Documents!

Good start if this is a work-in-progress. Needs much more development of screen entry logic, date fill automation, call sign lookup. Far from being worthy enough to charge for. Keep working at it and make it free until it is tested and ready for distribution.

Seems like a good app. I have barely used it and still need to figure it out. Not sure if when I hit next that it means next QSO or not? Need to play with it to see if it will work for POTA I haven't used the app much but today I wanted to check it out and I had purchased the premium version a few years ago and I just noticed that it still says free version on the top wouldn't mind supporting it more but want to make sure I actually get the paid version.
