### 2/5 — No info on buoy lights

*2025-10-12, version 1.04*

I needed to learn the light sequences of buoys so I purchased the pack for £1 to find out it doesn’t tell you the light sequences. Occasionally the cards will show you a light sequence of a buoy as a card but still doesn’t actually explain what the light sequence is (i.e what colour, how many flashes etc)

### 3/5 — Привет

*2023-08-20, version 1.04*

I can’t buy this app in Russia, 🥲🥲🥲🥲 wtff

### 5/5 — Excellent value

*2021-01-04, version 1.04*

Just the sort of flash cards I was looking for, thank you! Really appreciated that the buoyage cards included lights as well. A couple requests: Would like to see a light card for the safe water buoy; would like a card pack for IALA B; and would like more day shape cards.

### 1/5 — Проблема

*2019-05-21, version 1.04*

Купил набор карточек,после этого приложение крашится сразу как пытаешься открыть

### 5/5 — И

*2019-05-11, version 1.04*

Здравствуйте купил карточку выдаёт ошибку типа не существует какой то папки

### 4/5 — Mostly great.

*2019-04-07, version 1.04*

On the whole I’ve found this app a useful quick revision tool. 

However I have spotted one little error on “Minesweeper, seen from the stern, underway.” 
This vessel would not show an all-around top white light as in the corresponding image, it would be a regular masthead light which would not be visible from the stern aspect.

### 1/5 — Ошибка

*2019-02-03, version 1.04*

Здравствуйте! Не могу скачать купленные карточки , выдаёт ошибку

### 1/5 — OK

*2018-01-27, version 1.03*

Здравствуйте. Опять пишет, что карточки повреждены!! Уже второй раз. Постоянно так будет??

### 1/5 — Sir

*2017-09-24, version 1.03*

Think you are going to get a set of marine cards? No, you get four only, the four cardinal bouys. You have to pay if you want anymore.

### 5/5 — Доллар не жалко

*2016-07-23, version 1.02*

Хорошее приложение для запоминания правил расхождения, огней и знаков. Всего более ста карточек и с тем, и с другим.
А если какому-то Пллаг..уйло жалко доллар за них заплатить, то сами понимаете, где ему можно посоветовать держать свое мнение.
