About N1KDO's LoTW Look
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 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 free, and has no displayed advertisements or any other source of revenue, save one. If you find N1KDO's LoTW Look useful, kindly show your support by pressing the "pizza" option in the menu, where you can make an "in-app" purchase and buy N1KDO a slice of pizza (3 USD). Once donated, the pizza icon will disappear, and I will be most grateful.

Working well for me. Much easier than having to log in and its nice when the qso's just pop up on your screen. Simplified.

I put in my login information and it says they are incorrect. I tried Uninstalling and reinstalling the app to no avail.

I've started chasing DX and NPOTA and uploading my log from DX Labs weekly. Now with LoTW Look, I can watch my confirmations come in and am often surprised when a old QSO pops in there. Great app!

Working smoothly and doing what it is promised to do. In the new versions I would like to see whether the newely received CFM is a new for Challenge ( band, mode) or even for the rest of LoTW's awards, in the same manner as it seen in the regular web version.

Realized my first review was too harsh, accidentally deleted it so I'll reassess to 4 stars. I'd like to see sort orders hence 4 stars instead of 5.

I'm not a power user of LOTW, but was asked to help beta test this app. Jeff is meticulous with his work, and ever since I've had it installed on my Android Galaxy S5 phone, the app has worked very well. It's very simple to setup and use, and always updates you with any new confirmed Q's in your account. Certainly much easier than using a desktop or laptop and having to run your logging program and sync with LOTW! I am very pleased with this app.

Nice interface to Logbook of the World (LotW). It periodically polls your account for new confirmations.

I look at this all the time. Being a DXer and contester, I submit lots of QSO's to LOTW. Thus is so cool, seeing all the guys confirming the contact.
