NOTE:
Please note the following if you have enabled automatic logging in the background (indicated by the blue frame in the app):

Continued use of GPS in the background can drastically reduce battery life. In our experience, however, a whole day's sailing can be done with it, but don't forget the 12V charging cable ;-)

SailingVamos ,

Very impressed

I found the app very useful on our recent trip, especially with the NMEA integration. The developers were also very prompt in sorting out any issues, which were understanding from my part rather than app issues.

Carpe Ventum ,

Great app

I have been using it for about 3000nm and love it.

Northwindtony ,

Undecided

It was not immediately intuitive to me, and is taking a while to get settings where I want them. Will persist with the app to give it a fair chance.

Developer Response ,

Hello Tony, I'm sad to hear you are disappointed, and my app could not convince you from switching from analoge to digital. But please contact me directly if you feel something is not working properly. Because I can't provide support in App Store reviews, as I even don't know if you ever receive this response. Usually it emphasizes to be a misunderstanding if you start too early in customizing setting before understanding what they are really belonging to. I know the app could be less complex, but this would not satisfy all the requirements of all the professional skippers who have several requirements in digital logbooks and who helped to make the app what it is today. However, also for very simple use cases, the very basic usage was designed to be as intuitive and simple as possible (as long as you do not deep dive into specific functions and adjust them). Independent to that, if you have any specific suggestions of a feature set or function that could be more intuitive, I'm very happy to get your concrete suggestions for improvement as long as it could satisfy other users as well. For all others RTFM or please contact me before complaining, I'm very happy to support you in finding the specific settings that fit exactly your needs. In 99% the setting you are looking for is already available ;-)
