PoLo - ham2k Portable Logger

I’m an Apple iPhone user and been rather jealous of the android vk-port-a-log users for the past few years.

Recently I’ve been trying an open source logger for iPhone “Ham2K Portable Logger” while it is being developed. And now it’s reached a state where it is rather good, with all the features I need!

Logging is simple and intuitive, setup a summit from the SOTA DB, quick intuitive callsign entry, linked to QRZ, you can spot, check spots and click on a spot for a summit to summit. Upload to the SOTA database.


Spots - clicking on one will create a draft s2s QSO entry


*spotting feature ! *

Has this neat app matched vk-port-a-log and surpassed it on iPhone ?

Highly recommended. Give it a try, a superb app and finally a great SOTA logging app for iPhone !

Unfortunately, POLO has stopped working for me.

This is Sebastian (the author) 's explanation on the POLO Forum.

So unless your Android SmartPhone / tablet supports OpenGL ES3 - you will no longer be able to run POLO. (As Sebastian says however, check that there isn’t a software update for Android from your device manufacturer.)

You probably should look around more ….

My Tablet has 4GB of memory, and that is also marked as incompatible now (most likely because of the video requirements). I first thought it was a memory issue, as I have had issues before with loading SOTA data into POLO on my 3 GB LG phone, until Sebastian kindly made some changes in the code.

Let’s hope a later build will address both issues (but I suspect the new video needs will be harder to get around).

For now, an automatic update stopped what was a working program from working (the danger of having automatic updates turned on!).

You can probably find the old APK at one of the various apk archive sites, if you don’t mind the added malware risk that using them poses.
