That would be fantastic if you could add it! I installed your app there and I have to say (for whatever my humble opinion is worth) it really is very impressive. It looks like you’ve thought of almost everything.
I like the self-spot option which seems to be available to do from within the QSO form line. That’s super handy. I did try a test spot there but it didn’t show up on Ham Alert. Guessing self-spots don’t go to POTA.app or DX Watch.
Are the frequency inputs for self-spotting dependent on the use of the decimal separator? Ergo, I want to spot myself on 7110, do I enter 7110 or 7.110?
Hi Sebastian,
I think the Turbo Encanbulator may need a re-bore but just to let you know that the very latest September 24 - Pre-8 release still is unable to load the needed SOTA summits file to my (3GB RAM) LG K43 smartphone.

Quick update after using this app for 12 SOTA Activations.
It works well… really well!
I love the whole process of starting a “New Operation”, through logging chasers and s2s.
Spots are coming through well.
After I finish an activation I often export to adif and upload to the sota database before I leave the summit.
Only issue I can find is I seem to get logged off SOTAWATCH regularly which interrupts the self Spotting process. But it’s a minor issue.
I’m fully converted!

Also used it for several activations and it works great.
I would like to see a better use of the real estate onscreen when used on a phone.
- don’t need seconds and the trailing ‘z’ in the time column
- don’t need rate statistics always on screen - SOTA is no contest
Yep that’s an issue that I noticed too. Whenever there is unstable network connection it might loose connection and SSO permissions.
Might also be an issue on the SOTA SSO system as from my point of view it does not work very reliable. It was fine the first month when SSO was first introduced but now I have to reconnect 5+ times per day on the same device/browser. So independent from the PoLo app there is something wrong.

I note the features you are not interested in. Maybe it would be possible to parameterise the onscreen features in the settings page. Rather than remove altogether.
I’ve been a loyal user of VKPortalog for several years.
I’m genuinely sorry to move on to this new phone logger, but I have simply found it’s easier to use. I’m very appreciative of the work put into VKPortalog.

That would be the best of course. I learned that some POTA operators like to operate it like a contest so for them it is relevant.
And the time should of course be logged with full timestamp. Just on the screen I don’t care for seconds. And the SOTA database also has no use for seconds (HH:MM)
Also using vk Port-a-log since quite some time and some features are well developted that are still missing in PoLo. But that will be only a matter of time.
