## What is MOB?

This app duplicates the MOB button on your Chartplotter. It works without an iPhone or internet connection and can be launched with one touch on your Apple Watch. It takes a GPS point at the sea according to your direction and speed, and time delay for finding the signal. This way it always saves the exact GPS point where you pushed the button. It is constantly showing the true course to the point, distance to the point, and time at the water, since the point was set. The graphics in the app will help you see your position towards the point. If you fail to pick the person from the water you can correct his position by resetting position, while passing by. This application can provide essential assistance during training MOB on the water, especially at night or in restricted visibility conditions. All the coordinates are saved in the Watch memory and will be uploaded to iCloud. This way the last point is always saved in the memory of the watch and you will get your data even after the app restart.

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2022-01-24*

удобная приложуха которая возможно спасет кому-то жизнь или здоровье

### 5/5 — Полезно и красиво)

*2021-12-20*

Иконка стильно смотрится на красненьких Apple Watch :)
А если серьезно, то приложение действительно очень полезное. Не хватает звуковых сигналов, или какой-то вибрации. По времени или по расстоянию (при удалении или приближении к мобу, или если отклоняешься от курса)

### 5/5 — Чертовски удобно!

*2021-12-16*

MOB на часах, то что доктор прописал. При малой команде незаменимая вещь! Осталось закупить часы на всю команду и раздавать на входе!

### 5/5 — Привычно хорошо и даже

I’ve been waiting for so long, finally someone made it. Amazing app for my MOB practice at sea. Great accuracy, great look and design. Recommend for all sailors, specifically for night or restricted visibility.

### 5/5 — Finally it's happened

*2021-12-08*

Now I can throw away my Garmin watch and use this all in one in my apple. This app is so simple to use. Please add sound or vibration notifications and it will be perfect🙏
