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.

Boat Lights

A very useful tool to identifying lights, shapes and sound signals. Simple and easy to use. Recommended.

Very Clever

The visual search is impressive. Nicely done. Quick and simple.

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.

A must have

An essential app when out on the water. Very useful for seasoned and beginner boating people!
