Alerts useless in Linux version. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Maybe it's just the Linux version, but the text-to-speech alerts don't work at all, and the "media" (sound file alerts) misbehave badly. Either I get no alerts, or I get an alert for DXCC when the WSJT-X screen is full of already worked countries. Some of the other features are good but the alerts (what I need it for) are totally useless.

Good Product for FREE! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This program has matured very much over the last year or so. I think it is a fine addition to tracking FT8 contacts and seeing where you are going. It has a lot of features which might not be used, but I have found it to be excellent for my purposes. It is free.

Good Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Started using Gridtracker when I started with WSJT-X at the end of March. Was one of the recommended programs that was recommended by WSJT-X. Overall a good program, yes it has some issues and you can make it to busy. I find it helpful in knowing what and were my signal is reaching and if I am being heard, compare signal report I receive to what the system shows.

Chaotic Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
A typical piece of software that is drowning in it's own overly complicated possibilities. The poor UI does not help neither.
Very user unfriendly.

WSJT-X companion program Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I decided to try GridTracker about a month ago and have been most satisfied with the results. It provides realtime visual traffic decoding for WSJT-X band activity. Overlay world maps show status for things like DXCC, WAS,and the usual awards. There are visual and audible alerts, PSK Reporting, as well as Grid information. GridTracker has worked well with my ACLog logger.
