Tolle App für moderne Segelboote ein Muss

Tolle App mit vielen Funktionen, nach kurzer Eingewöhnungsphase konnte ich erfolgreich meine NMEA 2000 Daten einsehen und in personalisierten Dashboards darstellen.

Great app but needs better Apple Watch solution

Really love this app but really
Wanted to use it on my Apple Watch. Pretty disappointed that it doesn’t stay connected unless you have your iPhone app open. The Apple Watches wifi should be able to work just like it does on the iPad or iPhone. I want to look at my watch and see any NMEA data I want on a complication.

Die NMEAremote App ist einfach top!

Intuitiv, extrem zuverlässig und perfekt für alle, die vorhandene und berechnete Daten ansprechend darstellen wollen.

Die Dämpfung ist jetzt individuell einstellbar – so kann man alles exakt konfigurieren (keine zappelige Windanzeige mehr).

Es gibt auch einen Starttimer und alle möglichen berechneten Daten für Regattasegler.

Damit ist die App den verbreiteten Regattacomputern deutlich überlegen - wenn man denn ein Handy einsetzen kann. Absolute Empfehlung! ⛵📡🏁

Awesome app

Excellent app, critical part of our racing setup. Super stable and easy to use.

I sailed across the Pacific using this app in conjunction with an NMEA-WiFi hub to view boat and wind data. Very practical and fully customizable. I especially enjoy the data smoothing function. Highly recommend.

Leaves a bit to be desired

I love the idea of this app and it works pretty well! However, I did not find the UI intuitive (I’ve been an app developer for over 10 years).

My biggest wish is AWA and TWA relative to my course - like my Raymarine instruments display. Perhaps this exists but I was unable to find it after 20 minutes of set up.

The double tap to edit/add a gauge is difficult to discover. The green + and the multi blue plus are not obvious as to what they do.

Overall, I’d suggest that the developer hand the app to a brand new user and watch them try to use it, noting the UX pain points and feature discoverability. A nice technical app and good integrations, but could use some polish to be great. I’m unaware of a better option on the App Store.

Response from developer

Dear User, sorry that NMEAremote's UI is not so intuitive for such an experienced app developer like you. And many thanks for your suggestion to do some UX and user acceptance tests. I (being developer more than 30 years) made these tests and put a lot of effort into the UX and UI design and the UI is totally compliant to Apple's user interface guidelines. There is a hint at first use for the double tap to edit, so please read the message box next time before dismissing it. Further a green plus in a multi page environment when editing is common design language. Coming to your wish: I don't know what AWA and TWA relative to course means. Aren't they relative to course by definition? Anyway, next time you should think about an e-mail and we could discuss this. I'm always open to improve NMEAremote, happy to help and find a solution. Last but not least I could not imagine why you need 20 minutes for the setup which is done in at least 2 minutes. Thanks for nothing.....

Geniale App!

In der aktuellen Version sehr zu empfehlen! Der Preis ist mehr als angemessen. Einfach und schnell einzurichten - mit einer klaren und gut strukturierten UI. Nebenbei auch noch gekoppelt mit tollem Support.

Must have NMEA app

I am using the NMEAremote app with my Quark Elec A026+ AIS Multiplexer and gives me all the NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 data I need on my WiFi only iPad. I get AIS data, GPS position, SOG, COG, Depth, Sea Water Temperature,etc. I will soon add Wind data from the NMEA2000 wind sensor and battery, charging and tank level level data from Victron Energy Cerbo GX. A great app with tons of customisations. You can easily add pages and choose the layout and then add the data elements you need. Works also great in a split window with Navionics boating app. Highly recommend!!!

NO LONGER WORKS

DO NOT BUY! You can’t configure a data source. This app is a scam.

Hello, sorry for this issue. There is an update available and you should give it a try. Thanks and best regards Michael Zapf

No longer functional

If you don’t already have a data source configured, the app just crashes when you try to add one. Contacted the author in early April and he said an update was coming, but has not responded since then.

Shame because I’ve used it in the past and it’s great when it works.

App stürzt nach Quellenauswahl ab

Die Individualisierungen der Darstellung sind großartig. Leider stürzt die App bei der NMEA-Quellen Auswahl sofort ab. Dies passiert bei iPhone und iPad mit iOS 13.4.1! Bitte updated die App schnellst möglich. So kann man sie nicht nutzen!

Achtung, App funktioniert nicht mehr!

Diese App funktioniert nicht mehr, sobald man eine NMEA Quelle auswählt stürzt die App ab. Sowohl auf dem iPhone als auch auf dem iPad.
Hier muss wohl schnell ein Update her, lieber Entwickler, ansonsten ist das rausgeschmissenes Geld.

AIS input to app

Thanks for the review relating to the VDM type of sentence.
I use a home made raspberry pi multiplexer using kplex, which broadcasts NMEA sentences over WiFi. I have had the problem of the app crashing on my newer iPad but not on my older one. The iOS update explains the problem, initially I excluded the problem sentences from being broadcast but this prevented AIS working in iNavX. The solution was to prevent the rogue sentences getting into NMEA remote, using the options in the program. After doing this all OK again. Thanks for the tip.
I have been using this for years and it is great.

There are issues ::::

I wanted to reach out to any other buyers of the application. When you run the app for the first time and connect to (in my cases ‘Digital Yachts Wi-fi’) it crashes. It does it on the iPhone and the ipad running IOS 12 - I emailed the web developer and 24 hours later he emailed me back and advised there is a glitch on the application when being run on the latest IOS platforms. The app crashes out when it tries to process NMEA sentences starting with VDO and VDM. These are verification sentences and as far as I can see do not detract from the user ability of app. When you set up your NMEA Wi-fi path you can under rules block these sentences. After doing this the app runs a dream. One of the amazing things about this app it how clear the panel is. I am running this on a 12 inch IPad Pro and information is BIG, clear and precise. Great App and I would have given it five stars but the glitch means 4 stars. Hope this helps any other that may think of buying the app .... :-)
