Best mobile apps for DX spotting?

I've been using QRZ.com's mobile web interface for checking DX spots while away from the shack, but it's kind of clunky on my phone. What are the better mobile apps that you guys are using for real-time spotting?

I saw DXPocket mentioned somewhere - anyone tried it? Looking for something that filters by band/mode and maybe lets me post spots too.

Thanks!

    DXPocket is solid! I've been using it for about a year now. Great filtering options and you can post spots directly to DX Summit. The interface is clean and loads fast even on poor cell coverage.

    I just use the DXWatch mobile site in my phone browser. Works great and no app to install. The responsive design is pretty good and you get all the same features as the desktop version.

For Android, try the "DX Spots" app from Google Play. It pulls from multiple cluster sources and has good band filtering. Not as fancy as DXPocket but it's free and works well.
