N1KDO's LoTW Look 앱 분석 (9월 26일)

Unfortunately, this app is no longer available to users in the United States due to Texas’ App Store Accountability Act, Texas SB 2420. As a publisher of a free app for hobby amateur radio operators, I cannot afford to hire legal counsel to guide me through byzantine jurisdictional regulations, so it is easier and simpler for me to simply not distribute the app in the United States. I am troubled by this. Write your legislators. Do you find yourself logging into the Logbook of The World website often, checking for new QSL confirmations? Do you wish there was a way to get notified when you get a new QSL confirmation? If the answers to these questions is "yes," then this application was designed for you. LoTW Look allows Amateur Radio Operators to browse and search their Logbook of the World (LOTW) QSL confirmations on their Android device, and to automatically receive notifications when new QSL confirmations appear on LoTW. No more logging into the LoTW web site daily to check for a confirmation from that rare DX, with LoTW Look a notification will appear on your phone/tablet. LoTW Look uses your LoTW web site username and password to periodically access LoTW web services and collect QSL data from LoTW. You must have a Logbook of The World login to use LoTW Look. Please note that N1KDO's LoTW Look does not allow you to upload logs to Logbook of The World. This tool simply displays your QSLs (matches) on Logbook of The World. Again: you must have a Logbook of The World account set up in order to use this app. This app is designed to be very lightweight on your device. Typical installed size for the app and the database of the most recent QSLs is under 3MB. Polling for new confirmations can be set for "never", or one of every 4, 6, 12, or 24 hours. Polling is deferred when the device is "sleeping" to help conserve battery life. LoTW Look is complete free, it collects no data, shares no data, and has no advertising. Your LoTW credentials are only used to update QSL data from Logbook of the World. The source code for LoTW Look is distributed under BSD "2-clause" license at https://github.com/n1kdo/LoTWLook N1KDO is not affiliated with ARRL or Logbook of the World in any manner other than that N1KDO is a member of ARRL and is a LOTW user.
