Table Of Contents
Description
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.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
