### 4/5 — 12 mile limit

*2020-11-01, version 1.5.4*

This app was highly recommended, but could do with a some changes. On some trips we are working in and out of the 12 mile limit, so would be good if you could select what days of the trip are, or aren’t effective based on midnight positions.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect!

*2018-06-08, version 1.5.4*

The app is very good in general (especially there is no any other app in the store!) but I would like to suggest to add few options such as; entering new departure date and the app will tell how many minimum days to sail (especially when spent days in the UK more than Full Days In Hand)!!

### 4/5 — Good app

### 5/5 — IOS11
