AngelNav
This is an excellent navigational app. Has all the features of traditional nav techniques but able to use in a modern way. Excellent for planning trips. Once one learns all it features and how to handle the charts it will become your go to app for navigation. One can also use the features without resorting to reading glasses!

Support
Whether or not you like the idea of being able to use traditional nav techniques in an app the support for this app is second to none. Offline help is built into the app and there is a free forum where you can post questions which are answered often within minutes if not hours. The new tides module gave me excellent information when planning a passage around the Mull of Kintyre and a full regional UKHO folio subscription for £25 seems reasonable value to me

Updated Review
Initially disappointed about the seeming absence of large scale charts, I am happy to report that Developer support has been simply excellent. In good faith I purchased a folio with a title that sounded like the one I needed. Unfortunately the charts I actually wanted were in another folio. The Developer took onboard that the error was understandable and I’m grateful to have been given a code for the correct folio at no cost to me. A five star service and a really good charting App.

Excellent App
The very best Navigation App for sailors of sail or power boats. Gives you the opportunity to complete traditional navigation on a digital chart. So much better than many apps which significantly increase journey times.
Easy to use. An absolute must have App.

Great Nav software based on source of truth raster charts
Ive used AngelNav for several years. It has clearly been developed by sailors for sailors. Based on source of truth raster charts with auto selection of the largest scale for ‘here and now’ you dont have to worry about a bored developer having a bad day transcribing the paper chart into code, or having zoomed enough to see that rock!
The comprehensive software offers the usual bells and whistles like MOB and AIS, but also supports trad nav, for example multi hour trad nav ‘course to steer’ is easily done with the tide info right in front of you on the chart.
The race feature makes course noting and plotting a doddle, with the TWA feature helping brief the crew about whats next. Local Waypoints are easily downloaded from gpx files.
The support has been really responsive, even to the point of identifying an idiosyncratic issue with my ipad.
I guess its not better known because they are apple only and are spending too much time developing rather than marketing. Give it a go is my recommendation. AT £25 In the UK your IMHO local chart folio for a year is about the same as a picnic lunch.
