Ratings and reviews

This app saved my butt!! I was trying to make it into a narrow channel late at night with no moon. Couldn't see any land. The app helped me find channel bouys and the gps told me exactly where I was in relation to everything. The heading and speed information is also very helpful. I seem to remember it having a waypoint function but I haven't figured out how to make it dynamically change based on where exactly I am. It may not be a feature and it would be nice

Being a first time live-aboard sailboater, this app recommended by friends already using it, is a must have important for any Sailor. We use it to navigate, find depths, obstructions in the water like shipwrecks and rocks and of course the weather. Update: Sept 6th, 2021 Having used this App most exclusively for almost a year, I have nothing but good things to say about it. The fact I can monitor the depth of my surroundings. I have seen too many inexperienced boaters end up stuck on shore.

This app is great for information only, but it is a good way to get distance estimate and water level as well as buoy information. I've used it during storms and followed wind strength in a cell inland and I am very surprised at the accuracy. The only thing is that the buoys are not always available or the information isn't available period.
