Per niente utile

App molto molto confusionaria! Per avere qualche dubbio in più sulle luci è fatta apposta

Wording is wrong, lights questions unfair

Just paid £5.99 for this - the lights questions are very confusing, poorly worded and technically impossible.

Example: several flip cards show stern AND sidelights that you shouldn't be able to see in real life, even exactly at 112.5deg relative aspect. Have lots of officially approved paper flips cards and have never seen this before. If you're a beginner then don't use this as you won't understand where the errors are and will end up very confused when you come to your exams - or worse when navigating crowded seas at night for real.

Secondly, the wording is very poor and not precise. The answer to one of several being along the lines of 'a tug boat smaller than 50m with a tow smaller than 200m, skewed to port'

Official terminology should be more like 'Power Driven Vessel, less than 50m in length, underway, making way, towing, with the total length of tow less than 200m, observed from a port aspect'.

If you use this type of confusing and frankly incorrect language to try and pass any exams, leisure or commercial, you will not pass.

Disappointed.

PS. I'm a commercial Yachtmaster and Instructor.

Insoddisfazione

Usato stamattina per soli 5 minuti..
Comprato l'app. anche se molto cara per faciliare lo studio per la patente nautica, ma purtroppo risulta insoddisfacente per le spiegazioni e domande proposte molto differenti rispetto al classico libro di studio "patente nautica" fornito dalle scuole nautiche e quindi per me risulta peggiorare e confondere l'apprendimento.
Se potessi avere indietro i soldi spesi (non indifferenti) visto l'immediato inutilizzo. Grazie

Così così...

Idea buona ma con grossi problemi di grafica . Nei quiz le imbarcazioni non ruotano e l'immagine é fissa quindi risulta inutile. A questo punto non vale la cifra spesa.peccato
