Not as good as it could be...

...it is not a good app to learn with as it does not quiz you in the app. It's just a reference guide, with badly sized graphics at that. Rather, you have to go to the website and do your quizzes there, which for me defeats the point of an app.

A valuable resource.

I had cause to need this info recently when out in a near gale force wind. Brilliant - I had it on my iPhone in a water proof case, and could refer to it without leaving the (very wet) helm - much better than a dash to the chart table to thumb through a book! Thank you!
