Never again!

This is an expensive app for what it does. The paid version is just as good as the free one. Takes days to upload the reports, is quite often inaccurate with times (apparently we averaged 1 kn/hr and took three hours to travel from Pittwater to Newcastle! What a joke. Very frustrating!

Response from developer

Hi Blew$2, we’re sorry to hear this. Taking days for reports and calculating 1 kn/hr between Pittwater and Newcastle is definitely not normal Nebo behavior. It sounds like a severe GPS or syncing glitch. Please email support@nebo.global so our tech team can investigate your account immediately.

Can’t log in

After i enter my details the app just freeze and stay in loading mode, it’s been a week i try to re download the app , change password, everything but cannot get it work

Would be so much better if they gave a place to write your own personal notes for each trip

Not enough detail about how it works . Like what exactly do you get with “silver” pay option ? Or they talk about weather but nowhere in this thing shows anything about weather. Very lacking

Great product

Nebo is the perfect product to keep up with other loopers and stay in contact with new friends. Would definitely recommend it.

Worthless tool!

Rarely works. Map locks up and doesn’t reboot. Have to delete and then reload to get working again….albeit temporarily. Worthless tool
