HAMRS Pro? What's that?

New
I’m happy to announce the release of the brand-new version of HAMRS, named HAMRS Pro, now out of beta. Why “Pro”?

I wanted users still running the previous version of HAMRS to be able to continue doing so, so I needed a new product ID for various operating systems and app stores. HAMRS Plus? HAMRS 2? None of those really had the same ring. So, for all intents and purposes, naming the new version HAMRS Pro allows you to run both versions and migrate your data over to the new version. Hopefully, that’s not too confusing.

Download the latest version—it’s fast, has a bunch of new features, and auto-updates itself.

Please check out the Discord server if you have any questions, feature requests, etc. I’ll most likely be sunsetting the community forum in favor of Discord, as that seems to be where the ham world is headed.

Until then, have fun and get out there!

HAMRS Completely written from the ground up!

New
I'm happy to finally release a beta version of the brand new version of HAMRS. 

I've been working on this for a while, and I'm excited to be able to get back into the swing of things again. One of the biggest antagonists to working on HAMRS in the past was the build system and framework that allowed me to ship HAMRS on multiple platforms. It was always a fight to respond to user's needs in a timely manner. 

Rewriting HAMRS from the ground up allows a number of things:

  • Ship updates as fast as tests can pass and builds can be created
  • SYNC!
  • Better error handling/reporting
  • Update POTA Reference databases quicker for offline use
  • ADIF Imports
  • Custom/User Logbook Templates
  • Just generally be faster, and happier working on this little project that got away from me.

Right now, a beta version of the build is available by signing up on https://logger.hamrs.app - this web version is (for now) online-only and doesn't yet have offline capabilities. My goal over the next couple of weeks is to continue to push for parity of the current mobile/desktop apps. We're about 90% of the way there.

Sign up for free, kick the tires, and if you find anything wrong, head over to the community forum, or join the new Discord server to let me know. We've been having fun pushing out changes as soon as we get notified of them.
