Upgrade Issue  Time owned: more than 12 months
I have to agree with the others that MacloggerDX is the best Logging program for the Apple interface. So why the 1 Star.
I have used this software for about 5 years and paid full price and for one upgrade. I'm running 4.3.5 version on a Power PC machine. I wasn't active for the past 2 years and getting back into the hobby now. So I looked around for changes. I saw that there was a Version 5.33 that would work for my old machine(iMac G5). I only saw the new price of 95.00 US. Full Price!
I understand that there has been a lot of changes but its not my fault that Apple switch to Intel processors and a major rewrite was needed. Its not clear what will happen if my old machine breaks and I run a new Lion machine. Will I have to buy it a third time.
I contacted Don Argo and was told that the upgrade was dropped mid 2010. Gee, I guess he has the market.
How to resolve. Buy a cheap Windows laptop and run some of the shareware or programs that are half the price. Too bad, this guys software is good but not the only game in town.

Outstanding  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I had a problem getting MacLoggerDX to recognize my K3/P3 and I sent an email to DogPark Software at 11am on a Sunday morning. Within a few minutes I had a response from Don Argo at DogPark with a suggestion on what to do. His suggestion worked FB and I am stunned at the outstanding customer service, a rarity in this day and age.
As to the program, it does what it says it will do and does it very well. I highly recommend it!
H. Cary, K4TM

Fantastic Support  Time owned: more than 12 months
When I became a ham again a couple of years ago after almost 50 years, I knew I wanted a logging program for my Mac and chose MacLoggerDX after reading all the great reviews. Now I'm writing one of those reviews and understand why the program gets all those rave reviews. MacLoggerDX, for myself, brings my contacts to life. I see their pictures, the map of their location, their names, all this info the instant I type in their call sign. But one of the most significant aspects of MacLoggerDX is the support by Don Agro. I swear he never sleeps! I have emailed him at all hours and usually get a reply within minutes if not faster. I am not a tech guru, and his support is priceless. Buy his program and you'll be glad you did.

Great Mac logging program  Time owned: 3 to 6 months
I'm fairly new to amateur radio. Saw the reviews of MacLoggerDX and decided to try it. I'm glad I did. It does everything I want for logging QSOs. A wide range of features as you can see on the dogparksoftware.com web site. It works as advertised. Supports control, etc for a wide range of tranceivers. Lots of features under one software roof.
Support from creator Don A. is as good as I've ever seen for software - anywhere.
Try it - you'll like it.

Incredible Logging program!  Time owned: more than 12 months
I have used this software for over a year now. This is my second review. I added a second review as I like using this program more every day.

It is incredibly easy to use, it has great features including graphics, award tracking, instant QSL card generation to email a contact and the best feature is the ease of uploading QSO's to LOTW. Support from Don is nothing short of incredible. I cannot imagine ever going back to a PC based general logging program. The only feature that I do not use is the contest logging featuree as MacLogger DX grabs a lot of data for each entered call and frequently it provides far more data than a contest log needs.

Mac Users - This is the ONE  Time owned: 6 to 12 months
I'm not a computer savvy guy.

This is a WONDERFUL program! More bells and whistles than I'll ever use. Love it.

Worth every penny. Quality, updates.. please read the reviews by other computer savvy people for their comments.

Again, wonderful. Helps me make the most of my radio and contacts whether DX chasing or rag chewing.

Great  Time owned: 3 to 6 months
I've used this now for about 6 months, with an IC-7200. Connected to the iMac with a USB cable direct from the radio. Works great.
I like the look up using QRZ.com.

FANTASTIC  Time owned: more than 12 months
Don Agro is nothing short of fantastic!
MacLoggerDX is nothing short of fantastic!
I will let others review all the details but you will not be disappointed with the product or the customer care.
There are two essentials in my shack that I would never want to be without :
1) Band Scope ( 756 Pro III )
2) MacLoggerDX
Together a potent combo for Contesting/DX hunting and just everyday Ham Radio Enjoyment.

Incredible support  Time owned: more than 12 months
I've used this program for a few years and have seen it only improve and improve. Last week I wrote Don saying that I was looking at getting a new rig, just introduced. He asked for the CAT commands which I pulled from the manufacturer web site and within two days he had a new driver for the TS 590S. Incredible support!!

Great Product with Great Support  Time owned: 3 to 6 months
After logging on paper for 37 years i joined the electronic generation. Committed to using my MAC in the Shack i decided on Don's product. I also coupled it to my radios with the Black Cat interface. The support from both of these products has been superb. Responses to queries are prompt and the Yahoo user site is very helpful. Does it have every feature you can imagine?? Of course not, no software package does, however i am very satisfied with my choice and would recommend it to others. Thanks Don!
