User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★Super neat app!
Worth a try! GPS tracker and other cool offerings.
★★★★★Great App
Best app like this I’ve found. Very user friendly and intuitive. Love it.
★★★★★Clean, simple app that works well
Just downloaded this to try the GPS and tracking features - they work well and I appreciate the large, clear display that's easy to see outdoors or when moving.
★★★★☆Great App, needs a tweak
I love this app. Have used it stand-alone as well as NMEA with my SailTimer Wind Instrument.
I would like to be able to toggle in Configuration between True and Magnetic Course readings to display in the Navigation panel.
Also, I would like the option to display Lat/Long in degrees-minutes-decimal minutes. Thanks & keep up the good work.
★★★★☆Sail Buddy looks great
Looks like this will really be a useful app. Will update rating once I have a chance to get on the water!
Used it on a windjammer trip a few years back, worked great!
