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!
