HamLog is an amateur radio logging and tools application. It is meant for use when operating portable from the field or mobile (drive safe!). It does a lot more than just logging, see the list below. HamLog supports iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

*** 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.

Too many usability issues and bugs
     
by Kevintechie · November 1, 2023

Might be ok for simple logging but not good for SOTA and probably POTA too. The custom templates for these activities don’t work with a phone in dark mode. The font and the background are both black so you can’t read your input. Also there doesn’t appear to be a way to delete a custom log so now I have several useless test logs. Finally, I can cause the app to crash constantly by trying to delete the 0th log entry.

Doesn’t work for POTA
     
by KF0ATX · January 21, 2022

I wanted this app to work for me. I really liked the functionality of the app but when I tried to upload the log to Parks on the Air it got rejected. The ADIF file does not include the Band field which is required by POTA. This makes it unusable for me.

Needs ability to lookup dx callsigns
     
by TheGadgetinator · March 10, 2019

Please add ability to lookup dx callsigns instead of just USA callsigns. Also needs ability to sync contacts with WSJTX & JS8CALL.

Doesn’t update databases
     
by K9XJT · July 11, 2020

The lookup data isn’t updated. For example call sign lookup is out of date and doesn’t update.

An amazing application for ham ops everywhere!
     
by JBR_143 · August 9, 2019

I have been using this great app daily, for years now, on both my iPad and iPhone. This is truly the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of iOS Ham Radio apps! It is an incredible bargain, featuring a wide array of functions useful to all ham operators! It is extremely reliable, well maintained, an very easy to use. Just get it- you will not be sorry!

Great support!
     
by Sadie R.G. · June 16, 2020

I have very limited experience with the app so I'll have to report back later after I've used it a little more. That said however, I initially had a QRZ XML Error issue but I contacted the developer and received a reply within hours with a simple workaround (hint: don't use special characters in your QRZ password). Seems like it will be a good app for portable logging and it comes with super support.

It’s good. Will not create CABRILLO file.
     
by Mr. SnC · February 28, 2022

Hello, I keep hoping that an upgrade ill come along that lets the app create CABRILLO files. That seems to be any contest that I am in wants. They don’t accept ADIF files anymore and trying to make a Cabrillo format file drives me crazy. Please create the ability to make and export Cabrillo files. I cannot use this app until it does. 73, Steve
