Yes, not a full featured operating aid like MacLoggerDX but I find it
does a great job of handling queries like "confirmed on LoTW" and
"confirmed only on LoTW". In fact, it's great reports finally got me
off my butt to submit for DXCC after 30+ years.
The LoTW integration is terrific. No more manually looking up
contacts and marking them confirmed.
I also find it is about the easiest I have found for logging old
contacts from paper logs. Little touches like only having to enter
the middle number of the RST are nice.
And, for me the main reason I have it opened alongside MLDX all the
time is the filtered and color coded DX spot window. Plus, now with
the addition of the text message notifications I was able to work a
new one yesterday! I was out getting the BBQ ready, got an alert on
my iPhone, walked back in here, worked him and I don't think my wife
even missed me!
When I first started to play with the program I downloaded my LoTW
confirmations and found that a bunch that were in the log showed as
not there. I checked them and found that they indeed were there. I
sent an email off to Tom with a couple of examples. About an hour
later I had a new version in my email that fixed it! (problem turned
out to be related to the seconds in the time field). I was impressed!

Usual disclaimer: I have not financial interest in RumLog (in fact
either does Tom (DL2RUM) apparently since it is free - unlike another
Mac logging program I paid $39 for and found that it does very little!
