About this app

SKIPPR - Learn and pass your boat license & radio operator's certificate with confidence.

Prepare efficiently for your official exams – from the recreational boat license (SBF) and the coastal skipper's license (SKS) to the offshore skipper's license (SSS) and all radio operator's certificates. The SKIPPR learning algorithm shows you exactly the questions that will be on the exam each day – instead of sending you through the entire catalog.

SKIPPR is an independent learning app and is not affiliated with any authority, examination board, or training institution.

★ WHY SKIPPR?

▪ Intelligent learning with FSRS
No more rote memorization. Our FSRS algorithm (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler) adapts to your pace: difficult questions appear more frequently, and questions you already know are repeated less often.

▪ 7 Interactive Trainers for COLREGs, Navigational Marks & Lights

Practice the topics most people dread – mandatory material for the SBF See, SKS, and SSS: Identify vessels at night by their lights, hear sound signals (horn, bell, gong) and practice on a model even without headphones, black day marks, IALA buoyage, "Who gives way to whom?" from a top-down view, waterway signposts, and light characteristics in real time – Fl, Oc, and Iso are separated only by rhythm.



``` ▪ All licenses in one app
SKIPPR has everything you need, with ONE learning track for all licenses:

• Motor & Sail: Inland Waterways Skipper's License (SBF Binnen), Coastal Skipper's License (SBF See), Sport Coastal Skipper's License (SKS, sail + engine), Sport Sea Skipper's License (SSS)

• Maritime & Inland Waterways Radio (GMDSS): SRC (Short Range Certificate), LRC (Long Range Certificate), UBI (VHF Inland Waterways Radio, old and new catalogs from October 2026)

• Safety: Certificate of Competence (FKN) for distress signals / pyrotechnics

▪ Official question catalogs, clearly explained

The actual original questions from the official catalogs – nothing outdated. Exception: SSS: There is no official catalog for this license; the questions follow the examination guidelines. Every explanation is written in German instead of being machine-translated, and every image can be tapped and zoomed.

▪ Realistic exam simulation
True-to-life questionnaires under time pressure, evaluated according to the official passing grades. No surprises on exam day.

★ FEATURES THAT HELP YOU FURTHER

▪ 100% Offline
Learn anywhere. No internet connection required.

▪ Readable in any light
Light and dark modes are contrast-tested (WCAG-AA) – no gray text on a dark background. It also features a colorblind mode that distinguishes lights by their shapes, screen readers, and tactile feedback.

▪ Modern, distraction-free interface
Clear charts, smooth animations, font sizes up to 200% – and nothing to distract you from learning.
