I came across this app online and decided to try it out. It’s inexpensive and has lots of useful info. After the download, it worked on my phone but not my watch. I immediately contacted James, the developer, and he got right back to me. The problem was with the latest Apple update which did not work with my watch. Within a day he had contacted Apple and a new update was out that solved the issue. All works as promised! At a glance I get UTC time, coordinates, Grid square, POTA spots and band conditions. That’s really convenient for POTA when I’m trying to travel light without a laptop. And, James’s service is first rate!
Fantastic app for amateur radio

I had some initial problems syncing the app to my watch due to some problems with Apple. A message to the app support had it solved within 24 hours. The app gives me solar data,POTA data, grid square and location, and more. Customer support is outstanding! It’s nice to have all this info on my wrist without having to use my laptop!
