User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆Not that great
For the price, this app doesn’t deliver. It gives you three simple read outs – boat speed, compass heading, and lat./long. data all available for free on multiple other instruments. Plus the compass is not a rose, it’s just a digital heading read out.
★★★★★Excellent addition to my boat safety equipment
I have a mount on my helm for my phone just so I can use the app. I prefer it to the radar and 2 separate garmin units when I want this information.
★★★★☆Beautiful and simple app
Every time I open this app my first reaction is, how beautiful it is. I would love the option to add more contrast and I’m sorry to say a white background with black lettering.
★★★★★Sailer
Very accurate when I compare to metered speedometers
★★★★★Boat Speed
Got this 4 years ago (2018) on a Mediterranean cruise and have used it on every cruise since. It is great to know how fast the ship is going an on what course. Works very well on balcony and even in some interior areas of the ship.
