About this app
Do you find yourself logging into the Logbook of The World website often, checking for new QSL confirmations? Do you wish there was a way to get notified when you get a new QSL confirmation? If the answers to these questions is "yes," then this application was designed for you.
LoTW Look allows Amateur Radio Operators to browse and search their Logbook of the World (LOTW) QSL confirmations on their Android device, and to automatically receive notifications when new QSL confirmations appear on LoTW. No more logging into the LoTW web site daily to check for a confirmation from that rare DX, with LoTW Look a notification will appear on your phone/tablet.
LoTW Look uses your web site username and password to periodically access LoTW web services and collect QSL data from LoTW. You must have a Logbook of The World login to use LoTW Look.
Please note that N1KDO's LoTW Look does not allow you to upload logs to Logbook of The World. This tool simply displays your QSLs (matches) on Logbook of The World. Again: you must have a Logbook of The World account set up in order to use this app.
This app is designed to be very lightweight on your device. Typical installed size for the app and the database of the most recent QSLs is under 3MB. Polling for new confirmations can be set for "never", or one of every 4, 6, 12, or 24 hours. Polling is deferred when the device is "sleeping" to help conserve battery life.
LoTW Look is free, and has no displayed advertisements or any other source of revenue, save one. If you find N1KDO's LoTW Look useful, kindly show your support by pressing the "pizza" option in the menu, where you can make an "in-app" purchase and buy N1KDO a slice of pizza (3 USD). Once donated, the pizza icon will disappear, and I will be most grateful.
N1KDO is not affiliated with ARRL or Logbook of the World in any manner other than that N1KDO is a member of ARRL and is a LOTW user.

Would have rated it higher but the sort function only sorts the date but not the time in the datetime column

Thank you for your kind review. Good DX!
What's new
Updated to support API level 33 for Android 13.
On Android 13, users are now prompted to enable notifications.
Sorting QSOs by date now includes Time.
Sorting QSOs by band now sorts numerically, not alphabetically.
A few other minor bug fixes including a custom user-agent value.
Thanks so much for all the pizza slices. I have removed the donation menu item for everybody.
Also, because of your generous support, I have posted the source code on GitHub. See the web page for more details.
