There are several categories of ham radio apps for iPhone, including those that help you get your ham radio license in the first place.

Some of these apps include Amateur Radio Exam Prep, which lets you practice all possible questions prior to taking your exam. You can also use apps like CallBook to look up call signs and track active APRS stations.

Here are some specific apps that fit into these categories:

These apps are just a few examples of the many available, and they can be a great resource for amateur radio operators looking to improve their skills and knowledge.

Developers take app updates very seriously, and sometimes they can go awry. Our biggest app update yet had to rework the underlying data model, but it wasn't compatible with the old one.

The new improved data model was a significant upgrade, but it meant that progress couldn't be transferred. This can be frustrating for users who had invested time and effort into the app.

If you're experiencing issues with app updates, don't be afraid to reach out to the developer's support team. They may be able to offer compensation or solutions to get you back on track.

The developer's response to this issue was apologetic and transparent, acknowledging the problem and offering a solution. They even provided an email address to contact them directly for assistance.

I've been using ham radio apps for a while now, and I have to say, it's amazing how much functionality is packed into these small programs. One thing I'd love to see is a comprehensive app that has the same capabilities as PC programs like FLdigi.

The ARRL's Logbook of the World app would be a huge help for serious DXers who need mobile verification. Just imagine being able to log and verify contacts on the go!

I've been impressed with the SOTA Goat app, which is specifically designed for summit activations and logging. It's one of the best-designed apps I've seen, with a clear and intuitive interface.

A comprehensive app with the functionality of PC programs like FLdigi would be a game-changer for decoding digital text programs like VOA Radiograms. This would make mobile devices perfect for decoding digital text programs, and would also make them available to people who can't afford or don't have the infrastructure for a standard computer.

Here are some specific features I'd like to see in a comprehensive app:

If you're a ham radio enthusiast, you'll love the rig-specific apps available for your mobile device. These apps are designed to work seamlessly with your ham radio equipment, enhancing your operating experience.

The Elecraft KX3 is a popular choice among ham radio operators, and there are two apps that can unlock its full potential: The KX3 Companion and KX3 KeyApp. The KX3 Companion is a free app that lets you send and receive CW, PSK31, and RTTY using your mobile phone or tablet keyboard.

The KX3 Companion has a long list of features and is regularly updated, but the free version has some limitations - it's only good for 5 minutes of use and doesn't allow you to save settings and macros. To get around these limitations, you can upgrade to the paid version for $5.99.

The KX3 KeyApp, on the other hand, turns your tablet PC into a virtual keypad for your Elecraft KX3. With 54 buttons and 5 switches that are completely customizable, you can create the perfect keypad for your ham radio operations with the Elecraft KX3.

Here are the details on these two apps:
