Reviews: What People Think About Ship's Log Book for Captains

No app like this in the market. Love it but instead of listing all the good stuff I will submit my wish list. Ways to improve the great app I like to know my sail plan to calculate polars, track sail wear and understand the need of my headsails. To that end I would like to be able to input: Genoa (100%, 1 reef, 2 reef, 3 reef, furled) staysail (same setting sas Genoa ), asymmetrical (up or down), reacher (up or down), mainsail (same as Genoa). The status of the sails should follow through records tountil changed. One should be able to change via Apple Watch. Please note I frequently have two headsails flying. Also able to select certain sailing styles Wing on wing, hove to, twin headsails,Bare polled I would like a table after every trip of 3hr, 12hr, and 24hr records of all good stats. Distance traveled, ave wind speed etc. Allow up to 5 photos per log entry. Now it is one. End of voyage stats by sail plan More nmea data engine rpm, ocean current, go crazy do a ton Have freeform text come after relevant entry not at the end. For multi day trips have the 24 map appear throughout the log book. Every 24 hours have a stat section.

Good app but its surprisingly missing some key features of a true log book. First, no ability to add notes to a log entry such as how the mood is aboard, notes about a particular anchorage, comments about the voyage so far. Second, you can’t modify the “status” of entries so you can’t add an entry that you’ve docked the vessel, rafted up with a buddy boat, or anything other than the cookie cutter options coded into the app so there is no good way to signify in the log that you’ve ended the trip. Third, there is a “maintenance” section but no way to add maintenance items that need to be performed or completed. Over all the app needs more ability for users to customize entries, notes, details, and lists. Like most apps out there it’s close but doesn’t quite come through and wow you. It’s almost like the author got bored and quit before it was finished. At $15 you should think twice about what you want from this app. If you just want something to capture your lat-long and heading then it’s okay, but if you are a true boater/sailor at heart and are used to keeping a true log book this app, like most, falls short.

This is a great application. It is very easy to use and the interface is intuitive. I use this app for all of my sailboat excursions. It helps keep track of my miles and hours for my captains license. It also makes it easy to keep a log with accurate information. In addition with the record Photo function the log becomes an excellent keepsake of each trip. When I get home I print it up and put it in the book on the coffee table. The auto record function is incredibly useful and accurate. I can't say enough good things about this application. Customer support is excellent and personalized. This app was written by someone who knows how to sail.

NOTE:
Please note the following if you have enabled automatic logging in the background (indicated by the blue frame in the app):

Continued use of GPS in the background can drastically reduce battery life. In our experience, however, a full day of sailing can be done with it, nevertheless don't forget the 12V charging cable ;-)
