Best mobile apps for accessing DX cluster data?

I'm looking for recommendations on mobile apps that can access DX cluster data like QRZ and DXWatch. I'm getting tired of using the mobile browser interface on my phone when I'm away from the shack.

Ideally want something with spot filtering, push notifications for rare DX, and maybe integration with QRZ lookups. What are you folks using? iOS or Android both welcome.

Check out the "DX Spots" app - it's available for both iOS and Android. Shows live feed from the DX cluster network with all current amateur radio spots and has decent filtering options. The QRZ lookup feature works well too.

I've been using DX Spots for about 6 months now and it's solid. Really wish it had UTC time display and alert notifications for specific callsigns though. The filtering by band and mode is pretty useful when you're chasing specific contacts.

For what it's worth, I still prefer just bookmarking DXWatch.com on my phone browser. DXWatch provides a modern web-based service with real-time spot filtering and customizable views. Sometimes the simple approach works best, and you get all the latest features without waiting for app updates.
