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.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. AngelNav folios contain charts derived from UKHO data which are digital equivalents of the current range of UKHO paper charts. We believe that the coverage of UK waters is comprehensive, including large scale charts where appropriate. The Looe channel is included in chart numbers 1652 and 2045, but the UKHO does not supply a larger scale chart of this area in either electronic or paper form (see for example https://www.seachest.co.uk/find-charts/). I have just examined the source hydrographic data of this area in detail, and can confirm that there are no 'missing' navigational features that would be visible on a larger scale chart. If you are aware of any, please contact us by email, or post a message to the user forum (details of both are in the Extras:About section of AngelNav). Thank you for your further edit. If you don't have those chart numbers, then something is not quite right! Please contact me using the support email link in Extras: About: Contact: Contact us so we can fix the problem.

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.
