Ratings and Reviews
Wow this is a very good app
I have owned this application for sometime. I at last spent sometime going through today. It has everything. Literally. Calculators, references, tables, checklists, explanations of everything nautical. An essential app for any one interested in sailing or things relating to boating. Well done developers. It also is so well laid out and may have had continued innovation added as time goes on. Well. This is the first time I have rated and app and over 300 so gives you idea of how impressed I am.Lyall Evans
