About this app

Nautical Information Service (nIS) is a free bilingual application for smartphones, intended for owners of yachts and boats, fishermen, divers, swimmers and other people who spend time on the coast and at sea. nIS was developed so that users could provide substantial and detailed information to the local harbormaster's offices and other services for navigation safety, prevention of marine pollution, and especially to search and rescue services, in a quick and simple way. nIS can also provide users all the necessary information important for their safety, at any time and at every place.

nIS enables users to follow official weather forecast and have easy access to important navigation rules and information.

Contents of the nIS application:
• weather forecast for mariners (air temperature, wind speed and direction, air pressure, waves, radar cloud coverage)
• navigation rules (vessel equipment, order in ports and at sea, avoiding collision at sea, marine environment protection, information for foreign vessels, divers and swimmers, radio service and radio notices, maritime marks)
• public services contacts (search and rescue, harbormaster's offices, hyperbaric chamber, commercial salvage, consulates, medical institutions, emergency services, VTS service, coastal radio stations)
• ports and anchorages (marines, nautical anchorages, petrol stations, border crossings)

Ratings and reviews

This app wants half of possible permissions on the phone for no stated reason, then requires registration with a number of personal data for no stated reason and ... When you still say "mkay, i want it badly", it crashes after registration and then crashes on every app open attempt. How bad is this? Did you actually try to use this aop after you made it?

As a nautical app I'd prefer the windspeed in kts(knots) instead of m/s. I cannot see option in settings to change it. BTW, is the wind map valid for gusts or just average wind speed?

Anchorage charts are not reliable. South Adiratic region is missing a lot of places, for example, infront of Dubrovnik, areas around Pakleni islands in front of Borovac island. Great idea for and app but still needs a lot of work.
