I have moved over from Outd Log which isnt being supported anymore. There are a couple of features I miss, so I thought I would menton them just incase I am missing something.
My ‘thing’ is SOTA and especially S2S (summit to summit). Two features that would really speed things up are:
A shortcut for adding /P at the end of a call sign. At the moment I have to flick between a couple of keyboard screens to do this.
Also when adding a summit to summit, adding their summit takes three different keyboard screens. In Outd Log if you enter G SP 004, it would insert the / and - so G/SP-004
Forgive me if I have missed this but they would be nice features to have.
As for the first question, the . (dot/full stop) is replace with a slash. Try it.
And the second, the same thing goes for entering references, you just type the numbers and letters, and PoLo formats the reference for you.
If this is not the case for your particular jurisdiction, then we need some examples.

Btw. it would be great if this would also work for the summit references as the automatic recognition (formating of the S2S ref) is not working very well.
But I guess it is in the Regex for recognizing a sota reference. A search from the “end of the string” should work better.
Always 3 decimals at the end . \d{3}$
Add a dash before that if not there already
The region always has always 2 letters (non-digit) A-Z]{2} (always the last 2 non-digit)
Add the forward slash before that
Everything before the slash is the association (it can contain A-Z and 0-9 with {1,3} )
Not an regex expert but something like that should bring the propper groups?
Thanks - I can make the same comment about entering POTA reference numbers. Typed normally on the simulator the reference prefix is inserted correctly. Typed normally in the field where internet latency is higher, the prefix codes are often not inserted. Typing very slowly can fix it, but not always.

All the data that I put in the field is obviously visible (so nothing is lost). But the assessment and reformatting kicks in too late ( or too early) or incorrectly?
