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 ;-)

What’s New

Version 2.70

New:
- Apple Weather is now also available as a weather provider.
Fixed:
- If you created entries by time and always set this to an even time (full hour, hh:15, hh:30 etc.), it could happen that no weather data and no geocoding could be loaded. This problem should now be solved.

One of the most useful apps for sailing

We are currently live aboard and using the every time we are on going out on the water. It is easy to use and provides an excellent records of time sailed or motored. Export into PDF provides a solid record of the season and area sailed.

Excellent app

It does what they advertise, no issue up to now.

Lots of problems

This app is not reliable. It quits without warning and the mileages get all messed up. It’s trying to get too sophisticated. KISS in this kind of application would be better. Trying to get automatic weather and other online applications makes it unreliable for offshore use. Looking for other apps.

Developer Response ,

Hello Cathy, sad to hear you are not satisfied as it should be. Actually the app is reliable, the problem with app quit is iOS related (once every 24 hours) and not in my possibility to avoid. However I added a feature to get notified once this happens. It is described in more detail on my website.

I am disappointed that you believe the app is useless for off-shore, as it was designed from beginning for off-shore usage. The the only reason could be you did not configure it accordingly in data sources or expect magic internet connectivity. Weather gathering from internet is of course useless without internet. So if you are off-shore you have to use data from your NMEA devices or enter it manually (only each time when some weather values changes).

It is difficult to provide support via App Store reviews. Please, please, please get in contact with me. I’m confident everything works as you would need it as long as it is proper configured. The default settings work for 95% of my customers. But you are right, off-shore users have more complex requirements (and not KISS) which require some manual configuration, as it would be in your case.
