Features & Capabilities

See how far every spot is, filter Live Spots by any mix of modes, and watch alert changes sync to your other devices in seconds.

QRV (I am ready) is your essential ham radio multitool built for DX success and maximum operating efficiency. Stop juggling apps! QRV aggregates critical tools and reliable, fast-updated data into one single, clean platform.

Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.


QRV is designed to get you the information you need quickly, whether you are in the field or at the shack:

  • Real-time Band Conditions: Access live propagation data from HamQSL to find the optimal frequency.
  • Universal Search: Look up a callsign, jump to a DXCC entity by name or prefix, or check your band plan for a frequency — all from one place.
  • My Frequencies: Save important frequencies (weekly nets, calling channels, and more) with name, mode, and notes. Synced via iCloud.
  • Comprehensive Call Sign Lookup: Search easily via QRZ and/or HamQTH.
  • QRZ QSO Confirmation: See at a glance which bands you've worked a station on.
  • DXpedition Calendar: Track active and upcoming DXpeditions worldwide — see local spots and worldwide on-air activity side by side.
  • POTA and SOTA Spots: Browse live Parks and Summits on the Air activations with band, mode, and search filters.
  • Band Plans: Detailed frequency allocations for 21 countries across North America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania — available in English and a native language
  • Glanceable data on the Apple Watch. See spots, the top bands, POTA stats, and solar conditions on your wrist.
  • Built-in Calculators: Antenna lengths (dipole, Slim Jim, J-Pole), coax & feedline loss, battery runtime, and power calculations.
  • Beginner-Friendly Reference: Q-codes, CW (Morse code) with audio, Prosigns, RST, APRS commands, Maidenhead grids, and more.
  • Full VoiceOver support and colorblind-friendly design.

Note: Full QRZ data requires an XML and/or API subscription. Note: The Apple Watch app requires watchOS 11 (Apple Watch Series 6 or later, SE 2nd generation, or Ultra). Earlier watches aren't supported.


PREMIUM FEATURES

  • Live Spots: Get reliable, high-speed spot delivery from PSK Reporter.
  • Rover Mode: Temporarily view live spots and band activity for any grid square without moving — widgets, Apple Watch, and alerts all follow the grid you choose, then revert automatically.
  • Lightning Proximity Alerts: Get warned when lightning is detected near your station so you can disconnect in time — fixed location or GPS-following, with an adjustable radius.
  • Customized Notifications: Set alerts for bands, DXCCs, DXpeditions, and individual callsigns with configurable thresholds.
  • Home Screen Widgets: Check band conditions at a glance without opening the app.
  • DXpedition Alerts: Get notified when your tracked DXpeditions are spotted.
  • Callsign Alerts: Get notified when a specific callsign is spotted from your location.
  • Logbook-Aware Alerts: DXCC and Callsign alerts auto-manage based on your QSO/QSL history from Wavelog or QRZ Logbook.
  • iCloud Sync: Your settings, favorites, and alerts sync across all your Apple devices.

Why Premium? These features require robust infrastructure:

  • I run dedicated servers to aggregate PSK Reporter data, process notifications, serve band conditions, and provide DXpedition info.
  • This delivers faster, more reliable data than direct API polling while being a good steward to upstream services like N1DQ's PSK Reporter.
  • Premium subscriptions help cover ongoing server and infrastructure costs.

Your subscription is shared between all versions of the app.

Looks great, but need to use it more to decide whether to go ”Premium”

I don’t even care that they use Claude code to help develop this app. It has so many good tools bundled in together. The interface is clean and there are no ads. I will cry when the day comes that they get enough users to start selling ads and other in-app purchases.
