Fieldbook

Features

Everything Fieldbook can do, from logging out in the field to looking back over your contacts at home.

Logging

Type a callsign, hit log, and you're done.

Set your band, frequency, mode and power once and Fieldbook remembers them between contacts. All you need to type is who you've just worked.

  • Free QRZ lookups, without signing in to QRZ
  • Search, bulk edit and merge your logbooks
  • Bring your old log over with ADIF

History Pro

Made a mistake? Just undo it.

Every change to a contact is saved, so you can always go back to an earlier version. And if you delete one by accident, you can bring it back from the Trash.

  • Full edit history for every contact
  • Go back to any earlier version
  • Restore contacts you deleted by accident

  • New contacts and edits go up automatically
  • Pick which logbooks go up
  • See which contacts have made it to QRZ

Parks on the Air

Everything for POTA, in one place.

Whether you're out activating or hunting from home, it's all built in. No extra apps, no spreadsheets.

Activating

Off to activate a park? It's ready when you are.

Pick the POTA template and set your park, or let Fieldbook find the ones nearest you, even with no signal. As you log, you can see how many contacts you've made, and when you've got enough for a successful activation. Spot yourself so hunters can find you, and when you're home, export the file POTA wants for each activation.

  • Find parks by name, reference or what's nearby, even offline
  • See when you've made enough contacts for a successful activation
  • Spot yourself without leaving the log
  • Park to park contacts filled in from the spots
  • A file for each activation, named the way POTA wants
  • Every activation you've done, at a glance (Pro)

Hunting

Chasing parks? See who's out there.

Live spots update every minute, with the nearest activators first if you like. Tap one to see the park on a map, where it is and what the activator's been saying. With Pro, Fieldbook keeps track of the parks you've worked, so the new ones stand out.

  • Live spots, updated every minute
  • The nearest activators first
  • Tap a spot for the park, a map and its grid square
  • New parks flagged, so you know who to chase (Pro)
  • How often you've worked a park, and when (Pro)

Worked before

Type a callsign and you'll see if you've worked them before, how often and on which bands. It'll even tell you when it's a new band or mode for them, and it all works offline.

Offline

How offline works

Out in the field with one bar of signal, or none at all? Not a problem. Logging, editing, searching and checking your stats all work offline.

Your contacts are saved on your device the moment you log them, then backed up as soon as you've got a connection again. So if your phone takes a tumble, your log is still safe.

The only things that need signal are QRZ lookups and the live bits, like POTA spots, spotting yourself and band conditions.

One tip: open Fieldbook on each device you'll be logging from before you head out, so it's ready to go.
