My Top 5 Ham Apps for iOS
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT PART 2 HERE FOR ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
I was planning a short talk for my local club on some of my favorite Ham Apps I use on IOS.
I also wanted to share them with my “Ham-ily,” knowing it might help spark a conversation.
If you have a favorite I didn’t touch on, feel free to share it.
Want More Portable Radio Content?
Practical portable operating, POTA discussions, gear reviews, Brew & Activate livestreams, and real-world ham radio content.
Here are my top 5 Ham Apps I use.
HamAlert -This is the portable version of the spotting dx cluster. If you ever want to be notified of callsigns that you need to complete a WAS or DXCC, then this is an app you want to have.
SolarHam - we all want to know the solar/band conditions well; this site is packed with detailed maps and up-to-the-hour stats on rf conditions.
EzyQTH - if you do pota or are always outside playing the radio, you’ll love this app. Many of my logging apps aren’t GPS or grid square aware but fear not; this app will take your GPS coordinates and tell you your Lat/Lon, grid square, and maidenhead without input.
Pota. App - this isn’t so much a universal app but is one you want to make part of your smartphone. I refer to it daily, whether hunting or activating, as it’s a great site to stay abreast of the latest activations.
Radar Scope - this isn’t so much a ham app, but it has been helpful for me to keep tabs on weather conditions and lightning. I hope to automate this someday, but until then, I need to disconnect my antennas when lightning is on the horizon manually.

N1JUR is built around helping more people get active in ham radio through videos, Field Notes, POTA content, live streams, gear reviews, and community.
If you already watch the channel and want to support more of the work behind it, memberships are one way to help keep the signal going.
Videos. Field Notes. Live Streams. Community.
Membership support helps keep the N1JUR ecosystem moving without turning every page into a pledge drive wearing a callsign hat.
