Such a brilliant app for staying safe in a kayak around shipping. Using this down the Danube next week. Great helpful developers, too.

Thank you. Glad to help track your trans-Atlantic crossing. Fair winds and tides. Steve

Disappointed in Boat Beacon

Did not show boats that appeared on a comparable app, such as Marine Traffic. Wish I could get a refund.

Works Great!

Especially like the anchor alarm.

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

Can’t find my family.

I paid for app and I know where they are but it only came up once since last week when they left. It keeps telling me they are docked at home.

Tolle App

Ich bin auf die Season 2020 gespannt. Schade das sie nur auf Englisch gibt, ich kann leider kein Englisch.

Günstige Alternative zum Class-B-AIS

Die app dient sowohl als AIS-out für das eigene Boot, als auch als Anzeige anderer „echter“ wie virtueller (BB) AIS Ziele (AIS-in), sofern man sich unter Abdeckung eines Funknetzes z.B. in Küstennähe bewegt. Somit ist es eine sehr günstige Alternative zu einem VHF-AIS. So ist man stets auf Vesselfinder und Co sichtbar. Toll ist auch der Support!

Search problems

Lately I’ve tried typing in a ship’s name and all that comes up are place names? No option to change to ship’s names. I’ve been here since it was in beta and paid a good fee to have the ability to track ships in the company that I worked for. Works great for the most part but why can’t I enter ship names anymore?
