Hi Thom, We are very sorry to hear you think this. I wonder what is the problem? Can you please email us at help@pocketmariner.com so we can work out what is not working for you and improve things? Best regards The Pocket Mariner crew

So tired of this not working

Really can’t be relied upon to work which isn’t much use when you’re at Sea and you need it

Hi John, That doesn't sound right. Sorry to hear you are experiencing problems. We are not aware of any reliability issues from all our other users. Could you please email us at help@pocketmariner.com so we can sort out why you are having problems and get you up and running again? Thanks The PocketMariner Crew

Ace app

Best thing for those onshore following tour progress and finding your sailing partners if you lose sight.

Absolutely fantastic support as I set up the app again with my new phone. Now working really well again. I highly recommend this great App.

Thank you for a lovely review. Fair winds The PocketMariner crew

Really buggy.

Crashes constantly, expensive and unreliable.

Hi, Sorry to hear you are having problems. We are not aware of any general issue affecting users so there must be something specific about your setup. Could you please email us at help@pocketmariner.com so we can get you up and running? Best regards The PocketMariner crew

Don’t leave the dock without this

Sailing in SF Bay or anywhere you’re going to want this app

Crew of the Watoosh Review

We are enjoying the App as we cruise the Lessor Antilles. Recommend it to other Cruisers.

Works well but…..

This app generally works well, but there are big areas of my local region where there is no coverage at all. Other apps have much better coverage.

Response from developer

Hi, We have good live AIS coverage of Australia especially the popular areas. Some other apps use satellite AIS for remote areas. Unfortunately satellite AIS is not real-time and so is no use for navigation and we do not include it in Boat Beacon. Can you please email us at help@pocketmariner.com to let us know where you are not getting coverage so we can see if we can improve it? Best regards The PocketMariner crew

Works Great!

Especially like the anchor alarm.

I like that it now feeds AIS info into my
Navionics Boating App
