NMEAremote

I sailed across the Pacific using this app in conjunction with an NMEA-WiFi hub to view boat and wind data. Very practical and fully customizable. I especially enjoy the data smoothing function. Highly recommend.

I love the idea of this app and it works pretty well! However, I did not find the UI intuitive (I’ve been an app developer for over 10 years). My biggest wish is AWA and TWA relative to my course - like my Raymarine instruments display. Perhaps this exists but I was unable to find it after 20 minutes of set up. The double tap to edit/add a gauge is difficult to discover. The green + and the multi blue plus are not obvious as to what they do. Overall, I’d suggest that the developer hand the app to a brand new user and watch them try to use it, noting the UX pain points and feature discoverability. A nice technical app and good integrations, but could use some polish to be great. I’m unaware of a better option on the App Store.

I am using the NMEAremote app with my Quark Elec A026+ AIS Multiplexer and gives me all the NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 data I need on my WiFi only iPad. I get AIS data, GPS position, SOG, COG, Depth, Sea Water Temperature,etc. I will soon add Wind data from the NMEA2000 wind sensor and battery, charging and tank level level data from Victron Energy Cerbo GX. A great app with tons of customisations. You can easily add pages and choose the layout and then add the data elements you need. Works also great in a split window with Navionics boating app. Highly recommend!!!
