Excellent, useful app
This is a simple yet very thoughtfully implemented app that I have found very useful on numerous occasions. Highly recommended!

Very accurate when I compare to metered speedometers
Beautiful and simple app
Every time I open this app my first reaction is, how beautiful it is. I would love the option to add more contrast and I’m sorry to say a white background with black lettering.
Doesn’t work in background
Doesn’t work when screen is closed
Excellent but!
It’s a shame the display can’t be in a horizontal position.
In the race yacht there is not enough room for the iPad to be positioned vertical.

App frequently crashes and does do a good job with outlier datapoints
I’ve had an overall buggy experience with this app. The app crashes not infrequently and also does a bad job at reporting your GPS speed. I use it while I’m sailing and the GPS speed will frequently drop to zero, or show a much higher value for a second, completely ruining the max speed from having any informational value (I’ll be cruising at 5-6 knots and it will record a momentary max speed of 15 knots). The watch is experience is also horrible, with any notification forcing the app into the background. This makes it useless when I’m single handing my boat without wanting to fiddle around with my watch to relaunch the app after a crash or notification. The heading information offered on the app is often completely wrong. I was originally turned on by the pay once model with this app but the feature set really isn’t there. Save your money and just pay for Waterspeed app and the subscription.

Waste of Money
So much to view a simple compass and speed. Compass is built in the iPhone.
Waste of money
Don’t buy it if you plan on trying to troll under 4mph- it will very rarely pick up your speed which effects troll fishing- which is what I bought this app for. Wish I could get a refund.
Good
Speed readings are “nervous” changing dramatically, sometimes going to zero, and changing rapidly.
Very Accurate
We love this app
Boat Speed
Got this 4 years ago (2018) on a Mediterranean cruise and have used it on every cruise since. It is great to know how fast the ship is going an on what course. Works very well on balcony and even in some interior areas of the ship.
Barebones on Apple Watch
For the pricetag, I expected better implementation on the Apple Watch. I have not found any faces that allow complications from the app. Inconvenient for monitoring speeds while paddling to have to stop paddling to open an app. The free app Waterspeed at least has a widget, but it’s not great either. Disappointed.

Excellent addition to my boat safety equipment
I have a mount on my helm for my phone just so I can use the app. I prefer it to the radar and 2 separate garmin units when I want this information.
Very useful , worth the money 100%
I bought this app so I can tell how fast my do dingy is going, this app is so great because the number is easy to see on a bright day and there are no ads, I love the night time mode and different speed measurement options like Kph nad mph also. Great app have recommended to multiple friends who are happy as well

Disappointed
Hasn’t registered speeds under 2.3 mph and then it’s very inconsistent. When trolling, speeds often need to be under 2 mph so for that purpose this app has proven itself useless

Hi,
Is there any chances to have the 2 modes together on one page?

Compass just won’t work. Sometimes correct, but not even close aboard boat. Useless! Apple Store Link to developer support doesn’t work. Apple techs unable to resolve or explain why they can’t fix link. Could have been a little gem of a program. Too bad. Stay away until developer gets back on link.
Not that great
For the price, this app doesn’t deliver. It gives you three simple read outs – boat speed, compass heading, and lat./long. data all available for free on multiple other instruments. Plus the compass is not a rose, it’s just a digital heading read out.
iPhone times out. Not usable
Don’t spend your $$$. App won’t stay open like other speedometer apps and map apps. App times out to lock screen.
