Ratings and reviews

This app has quick calculation tools for everything radio-math, and it's worth the PRO upgrade just for that. Not to mention you can design some complicated antennas, with little effort, using the Amateur Radio Toolkit. I upgraded after checking out just 3 of the many tools it offers the Ham operator. Dipole, vertical, quad-cube, signal mapping, resistance, resistors in series vs parallel, wire gauges, Q codes, and more, and more and more; at your finger tips. 73s from Shenandoah Valley VA.

I expected this to be one of those apps that is more fluff than utility. Boy was I wrong. I thought maybe the reviews were paid for, they're not. This app is excellent for amateur radio enthusiasts. Everything from a q code chart, to a coordinate calculator, I mean hell there's even a calculator and diagram where you enter the frequency of your desired antenna (j pole, ground plane, 3 element yagi, 7 element Yagi, and like 20 other antenna types). It shows you exactly how to cut each element.

On the whole a good app with plenty of features however the presentation of the tables of information is, to put it bluntly, lazy. Every table requires the user to finger-pinch zoom the information to a readable size but even then many of the tables are wide so you have to scroll side to side. If this information where presented as actual text (rather than I suspect, an image) as the rest of the app does that would be a vast improvement.
