*** I try to implement just about every request I receive and fix just about every complaint I receive or see in the reviews. If you leave a complaint in a review please leave your callsign so I can get in touch with you to fix your problem, or email me directly. I cannot reply to reviews.

Please NOTE: This application is not meant to replace a more formal method of logging such as a computer based logging application or the classic paper method. It is more for quick logging while portable or mobile. Personally, I transfer all contacts to paper after coming back from field QRP fun.

Regarding IMPORTING: As of December 8, 2010, HamLog support importing ADIF files. Please visit http://n3wg.com/hamlog for an example of how to import.

I will happily respond to feedback, entertain feature requests, and answer questions directly, please contact me at the email address listed on n3wg.com or QRZ.


Field Day Logging Info:
Sections logged include: Date/time,Mode, Band, Callsign, Class, Section, Operator, Comment
Exporting: Exporting logs from the Field Day tool is via e-mail in the form of a CSV file that any spreadsheet program can open.
Dup Detection: The app does the standard dup detection you would see in a PC/Mac based app. There is no inter-device dup detection. Dup detection between devices is an exercise left to the exported spreadsheet application of choice.
iPad Specifics: Sections worked are shown vs sections not worked for each zone.
NOTE: While I try my best to ensure this Field Day logger is fault tolerant, I can make no guarantees or warranties. Please test and become familiar with it before using it live during Field Day.

Pros and cons of HamLog app for iPhone and iPad

HamLog app good for

If you are an iPhone and or iPad owner, you will be happy to use this app during your next qso. Bob F5RKC
A lot of useful things into one app! Very nice, light. A must have!
Nice log for iPad ok to export adi files by email waiting that Nick fix the bug to export adi to Eqsl and i Will rate 5
This is what I was looking for à Long Time, super!!! Great APPs for my IPhone...
I bought this App a few versions ago and back then it was good. Now it has become really great. You can feel in many details that the author really knows what is important in a ham logbook. One small example is that in the call sign data field, all letters are automatically upper case and you dont need to switch keyboards to access the number keys. Thank you, this has become one of my essentials!
I highly reccomend this app on your iPad. Its the best logging app I used so far. I also tried "RUMlog" but this one I like much more. Its a perfect addition to MacLogger On my Computer at home and the import and export of log data works pretty well. I use this app usually when Im out for hiking with my QRP TRX and the lifetime of the iPad battery is >10h. I usually use a bt keyboard.

Some bad moments

Please fix import/export adif file. I cant export adif file into eqsl.cc without errors. Why I must manually editing this file ? When I import adif into log via url programm stop working. Why ? Why did you write such bug software ? Bad guys.
The application is closing in a few seconds. Pse kill the bug.
It seems the google version of this app works well, but the Iphone version, mostly doesnt work. On both WIFI, and LTE - DX Spots dont load, Calendars dont load, Callsign Lookups never respond, HF Net lists are blank, - Errors for many of these functions - The resource could not loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection." I had mistakenly assumed that the Pignology apps where more poliched on the iPhone since I thought originally, the apps and the hardware Pignology developed, where primarilly for the i devices.
Numerous utilities dont work in this version on my iPad like solar data, weather, etc. and also get a Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection error message.
Apps number row above keyboard is hidden by keyboards predictive text row. Cant hide predictive row for the callsign entry box. So, you have to switch keyboard back and forth between letter and number views to enter callsign. If this were fixed, it would be very useful for field use.
This was a great logging program. Then, it would crash immediately upon opening. I hope the programmers will fix it - I have not changed iOS (still on 7x)
