Best mobile DX cluster apps vs web versions in 2026?

I'm upgrading my phone soon and wondering what everyone's using for DX spotting on mobile these days. I've been trying the DX Spots app but missing some features compared to desktop web clusters like DXWatch. Anyone finding good mobile solutions that can alert me to spotted call signs? Looking for something that covers all bands including 4M, 2M, 70CM for VHF/UHF work.

    I've been using the QRV Ham Radio Multitool and love it! You can specify bands and DXCC entities of interest, then get notified when they appear in your spots with customizable sensitivity thresholds.

    The ads aren't obtrusive at all on DX Spots - just a small window at the bottom with basic filtering and a nice UI. For free it does what I need for casual spotting while mobile.
