Ratings and reviews

Great app. It's a very good simulation. Runs flawlessly. I made some good DX contacts, which was quite enjoyable. I'd highly recommend, especially to newer operators. But for me, it's out of my budget. Annual subscription is cheap, but buying each individual feature that you need to have - the waterfall, DX logger, especially antennas, etc...REALLY adds up. Quickly. I realize the app needs to make money to survive... but $40 for one 'virtual' antenna? For one frequency? Prices need to be lower.

Excellent app. I see some users saying they didn't find anyone. I have heard hundreds of conversations and have joined in on a lot of them. Maybe try again and be patient?

Not what it was. While I can understand that things aren't for free, I still miss the times when HamSphere 3.0 was free and 4.0 was somehow paid. If you wanted different skins, tools, antennas, you could buy the plug-ins at low costs. Now, with version 5 you need to pay straight up the subscription for an year and the app let you have just one band with visualization, user list, an antenna bearing and so on. For the other bands nothing, you need to pay for each DX, visualisation, list of users.
