User Reviews

HamSphere 5.0 Mobile offers a unique ham radio simulation experience on phones, enabling remote contacts and serving newer operators well. However, users consistently report connectivity problems and frustration with the costly subscription and additional in-app purchases required for basic features. There are also issues with purchased features not unlocking properly and restricted band coverage, particularly in the US. Customer support appears inadequate for resolving these problems. While some appreciate the nostalgia and simulation value, many find the app less practical due to the described limitations.

Pros

Enables ham radio communication on mobile devices, allowing users to make contacts remotely.
Provides a good simulation experience, especially appreciated by newer operators.
Offers access to the ham radio community and opportunities for DX contacts.
Some users find it brings back positive memories related to ham radio activities.

Cons

App connectivity issues, with the connection not staying stable or dropping after a short time.
Subscription model is expensive, requiring annual fees plus additional payments for essential features and plug-ins like waterfall, DX logger, and antennas.
Issues with features not unlocking after purchase, particularly the waterfall plug-in prompting repeated purchase requests.
Limited or partial coverage of certain bands, especially complaints about US 2-meter band limits and access, making it less useful in some regions.
Poor or unresponsive customer support, with users reporting no replies to purchase issues or connectivity problems.

Brilliant, I love it, Ham radio on your phone. I've made some great contacts. I enjoy this app so much that I have brought all the plug-ins. Wow, it makes this app even better. I've spoken to people all over the world using this app. I have brought a bluetooth mic speaker, which is meant for a walkie-talkie, but it works brilliantly with this app. I just don't use the K pin connector. I highly recommend getting one for this app. Makes it feel like so much better.
