  • Annoying at first but produced results

    I found the comic like approach annoying at first but with all the activities I found the test extremely easy due to remembering them.

    Awesome! So glad to hear that you found the final exam easy because the activities in the course helped you retain the info of the various safety topic. That is exactly what we were aiming for. Thanks so much for letting us know.
  • Awful

    The only reason I downloaded that atrocious app was New York mandating certs for boaters in 2025 for the love of all things wholesome. Give us the OPTION TO JUST TAKE THE FINAL EXAM. What a waste of time and Money. Yall are criminals and should refund every penny.
  • Stupid

    This app is an enormous waste of time, with all kinds of narrative that has nothing to do with the course material, like some stupid mystery island.
  • Terrible Course

    Terrible course layout, confusing back and forth story line that takes forever to navigate. It’s easy to miss important branches of info and find yourself taking a test before ever seeing the proper info. Would never purchase this again.
  • 6 weeks and still not card

    Its been atleast six weeks since I took the course and I still haven’t gotten my card. I have emailed multiple times and got no response. Waste of money
  • I receive an Error 500 at logon

    I purchased it for $70, went to logon, and it doesn’t work. Waited a few days figuring it had an issue that day, same issue remains. I emailed the support team, then get a systematic reply saying that the email doesn’t exist. Very unprofessional and feels more scammy. There’s a phone number that’s available that I plan to call next for support.
  • App doesn’t work.

    Unable to get past the first question. Keeps freezing. No customer support available. Tried to email and got kicked back several times as “app not working. “. Tried to call. Was on hold for hours with no one ever answering. Currently trying to get a refund.
  • Doesn’t work

    Paid my money download the app cannot login!!! Is this thing just not working right or did I get scammed and somebody got my money credit card information
  • Love it

    I’m 15 years old and I used this app to get registered and run a PWC by myself and I loved it. Sometimes the storyline was a little annoying but I followed it really well and it taught me a lot. I had no troubles such as glitches, or bugging out. I got my boaters card and I am so happy for this app as it was fun but taught me soooooo much about operating and PWC and boating in general. Love love this app easy 5 star!!

    So glad to hear you were happy with your course experience! And thanks for the 5 star review.
  • It’s not that bad

    I’ve taken on other boating courses before and truthfully this one isn’t that bad this an easy to consume course for the beginner boater. It’s can be a little tedious and annoying at time with the constant text but the activities and study guides throughout are pretty good at explaining boat safety laws and rules. If you are a avid boater and have taken courses prior do yourself and a huge favor and skip this course, but if you’re looking to get into boating and want to learn in a fun and easy to understand way check this out!

    Developer Response

    Thank you for the positive feedback. This course is designed for the novice boater and the story that you follow as complete the course is is provided to create 'context embedded' learning or what is sometimes called "just in time learning." For instance, you learn how to handle your boat in storm when a storm approaches or how to put out a fire when there is a fire. Studies show that this type of learning method offers the best retention for the student.
