Love this app

However, it crashed when receiving NMEA of TCP/IP on iOS 10.2, which is a bummer. I use this app underway all the time. I miss it. Please update soon!

Update: I did figure out how to turn off sentences that make crash (which aren’t even on my network anyway). This is the most useful app I have in my arsenal. I don’t sail with out it. My Mac below decks runs PolarNavy and does all the heavy lifting while I sit on deck with this app. Works great!

Crashes

Like others, this app crashes for me on startup when connected to MNEA source via wifi. iMix in my case.

Response from developer

Sorry for this issue. Since iOS 10 there is a problem, with AIS data. I just fixed it for the next update, but this will sit need some time. A workaround is to open NMEAremote while Wifi is off and block the "VDM" and VDO" sentences in the rules at the source configuration.

Crashes every time

Trawler

Downloaded new version 9.1.2016.
Great if it works. Display seem to be accurate and easy to read.
However: This version crashes on iOS 10.0 Beta 7

Nmea remote

Works very smoothly

Excellent instrument display

Easily set up with SeaSmart.net connected to the ship's wifi. Works great on ipad and iphone so far (just installed, haven't hone cruising yet!) it would be nice to be able to edit (or create new) screen layouts, but I would recommend it to anyone who wants remote access to their NEMA data!

Extremely useful app

Recently made extensive use of the app, both on iPhone and iPad on a two week trip around Bonin Islands.

Used a Latronix WiBox transmitting NMEA data via UDP. Worked flawlessly.

The main use was to have the ability to be in one's bunk and see what was going on topside when off watch, or just coming on watch. The alarms were also helpful in making sure we didn't get lazy with what sails to have up based wind speeds and angle.

The author is one of the best developers I have come across in terms of willingness to work with users and incorporate feedback or make slight adjustments. Look for updates, as the developer is constantly improving the app.

Get it if you are on a boat with wifi and NMEA data, you won't be disappointed.

Great app

This is a great and very polished app. I'm using it with the global cache wf2sl wifi to serial converter which is much cheaper than the marine units.
