Boat lights app

I found this app to be completely useless in conjunction with navigation shore based course.
It does not teach about the numerous lighting requirements for different sailing craft .
You simply put up light variations and obtain a multiplicity of answers.

Good app

The browse section works well and the ability to change to different rules is great. Also being able to see the actual rule is great. Definitely worth the 4 bucks.
