I'm looking for some good mobile apps to keep an eye on the DX clusters while I'm away from the shack. I've been checking out DX Spots app which provides a live feed of the DX Cluster network, showing all the current Amateur Radio spots but wondering what others are using. HamAlert seems like the portable version of the spotting dx cluster and can notify you of callsigns needed for WAS or DXCC. What's your go-to app for DX spotting when mobile?

I've been using the DX Spots app for about a year now and it's pretty solid. It has many filters to choose from, though I'd like to see current zulu time in the app and a dark mode option. For notifications of specific calls, HamAlert is definitely the way to go - saved me from missing several new ones!

Don't forget about the HamLog app which has a DX Spots tool that lets you click a spot to add a new contact with the DX station and frequency, plus it can tune your radio if you have Pigtail/Piglet configured. It's great for portable logging too.

As a newer ham, I found the mobile apps really helpful for learning about DX activity patterns. The visual interface makes it much easier to understand propagation than staring at telnet cluster feeds on a computer screen.
