Pros and cons of RF Toolbox app for iPhone and iPad
RF Toolbox app good for
For RF Field Engineers this is an excellent tool to perform quick calculations in the field. The sites database gives quick access to cell site information on the fly. Waiting for the update!!!
This app is great! I mostly use this app for tracking my trouble ticket sites. Great for keeping a history of your sites that you visit. the GPS tools are great and the RF tools they give you are very very cool can handy, 5 starts all around! I look forward to the updates.
This is a must have app for RF/TX Engineers, if you like to use your iPhone for anything... I use the Site Database as a notebook and tracker for the sites I visit in a daily basis, using the locator to get lat/lons and adding a picture to refresh my memory when I get back from the field. I hope some new features could be added in an update soon, specially for the Site Database...Adding import/export funtionallity and a "locate in map" link to Google Maps would make this a five stars app.
I wished your app would have .kmz importing for the sites. There are tower asr and FCC radio/tv databases already out there for the info in kmz. I just need a way in the iPhone to display it.
A very useful util, with just a few issues. I can find NO way to contact the authors to report bugs. Their webpage is there, but no options are available to contact them.
Im trying to do an import, a feature that was apparently recently added and none of my sites are showing up. I created 2 sites and then exported via email the .csv file to ensure I had the formatting correct. When I try to import it acts like it worked but none of my sites show up.
In the sites tab, there is a typo for the sort button. It says "Ttile" instead of "Title".
This is a good App that can be great if the app owners would allow a way to contact them to get support!
This is a wonderful app that got regular use until an iOS update. Please update when able!
Thanks in advance.
Some bad moments
