Has issues with iOS 17

Great app. Love it, but the trip history no longer renders properly with iOS 17 on an iPhone XR.
I raised a ticket many months ago and there has been no response. I don’t think this app is being maintained.

Easy to set up & use

Saves a lot of time and you get a very useful map of your trip at the end

Apple Watch

Just wondering when (or if) you’re going to include Apple Watch in this App.
It would sure beat lugging around my IPhone Pro Max when racing. 🤷‍♂️🙏

Not monitored in Queensland AT ALL

This app is not actually monitored in Queensland despite being plugged by Coastguard’s website and stating it is the “official app of search and rescue Queensland”. Do not use this app unless your flotilla explicitly states they’re watching you on it.

Installation is very painful

This review relates to the installation and set up of the app and vessel details. Very painful process. Assuming I manage to actually get set up and use it, I’ll post a second review.

Great App, in the past my emergency contacts could follow my trip and at any time see exactly where I was. Looks like this is no longer the case, when I now submit a sail plan my emergency contacts see a start pt and at end of trip see end pt, no more tracking info for during the trip.
Is this right or do I have an incorrect setting?

I think this app is great it notifies the cost Gaurd of your location even when my phone is in flight mode to save the battery . Highly recommend it

Response from developer

Thank you!

Love this app. Feel safer knowing my position is constantly updating with the coastguard and my chosen contacts can live track me

Great App

I used the app in the past week and found that it destroyed my battery. I don’t need the app to track my location at all times. Just being able to lodge a trip without a tracking option would be great.

Response from developer

In this case, you are best to use the Track Only mode - you will still be monitored but can adjust the location ping frequency to conserve battery.

Great app

I think it’s great works well used it for the first time and knowing it’s got a eye on me keeps the wife happy as
