A really useful app !
A great app for use on motorboat or yacht I would imagine. I use this on a motor cruiser and it is perfect for daily log use.
The AI generated daily summary makes a fantastic record for future reading :)

Extremely useful app
As a professional captain I have been using the app for the last 8 years both in the Mediterranean and across the oceans of the Pacific and Atlantic
It has proved to be an extremely useful and accurate tool for record keeping of the passages and travels on board.
The yacht owners are always very impressed with the detailed PDF log book l can give them
This is such a great feature
I have recommended this app to all my colleagues and will continue to do so.

Great app.
This is a great application. It is very easy to use and the interface is intuitive. I use this app for all of my sailboat excursions. It helps keep track of my miles and hours for my captains license. It also makes it easy to keep a log with accurate information. In addition with the record Photo function the log becomes an excellent keepsake of each trip. When I get home I print it up and put it in the book on the coffee table. The auto record function is incredibly useful and accurate. I can't say enough good things about this application. Customer support is excellent and personalized. This app was written by someone who knows how to sail.

Very impressed
I found the app very useful on our recent trip, especially with the NMEA integration. The developers were also very prompt in sorting out any issues, which were understanding from my part rather than app issues.
One of the most useful apps for sailing
We are currently live aboard and using the every time we are on going out on the water. It is easy to use and provides an excellent records of time sailed or motored. Export into PDF provides a solid record of the season and area sailed.
Great Logbook
I start using that App the last days on my sailing to Scotland. It was perfect working, collect all NMEA data from my Wifi device. The integrated Barometer in the iPhone adds the air pressure. Very easy to use. Well done. Recommend this App
Good app but missing key features…
Good app but its surprisingly missing some key features of a true log book. First, no ability to add notes to a log entry such as how the mood is aboard, notes about a particular anchorage, comments about the voyage so far. Second, you can’t modify the “status” of entries so you can’t add an entry that you’ve docked the vessel, rafted up with a buddy boat, or anything other than the cookie cutter options coded into the app so there is no good way to signify in the log that you’ve ended the trip. Third, there is a “maintenance” section but no way to add maintenance items that need to be performed or completed. Over all the app needs more ability for users to customize entries, notes, details, and lists. Like most apps out there it’s close but doesn’t quite come through and wow you. It’s almost like the author got bored and quit before it was finished. At $15 you should think twice about what you want from this app. If you just want something to capture your lat-long and heading then it’s okay, but if you are a true boater/sailor at heart and are used to keeping a true log book this app, like most, falls short.

1. You can add notes. In fact to each log entry. Of course they show also up in the exported formats like PDF. I could imagine you accidently created a 'locked' logbook where you can only adjust logs up to 5 minutes after they are created, because in regular logbooks there is no limitation at all. 2. Of course you can change the status of each record! Also retrospectively. Actually you can change all values afterwards if you like. But again you obviously created unintentionally a 'locked' logbook, this is not the default setting, but in this mode you can't change anything after 5 minutes. (Some users like it that way) 3. Maintenance section. Of course you can add maintenance items! It is actually designed for exactly doing that! You can also assign due dates, filter for specific maintenance items and so on. Maybe this is again the same missunderstanding you had with topic 1 & 2. It is also well described on my website how it works. Go on my website, click the top menu > More > Maintenance Records. 4. I'm sad you have the feeling I'm bored and stoped to enhance the app. The change log of the app should proof that this is not the case. I regularly implement new features and track all feature requests from users on my website. 5. Please contact me directly if you believe something is not working or missing. I'm always happy to improve the app! Go in the app to Settings > Support, there are several ways to contact me directly before posting in the App Store Reviews.
Great App!
We use this app every single time we head out on our 35 foot Beneteau sail boat. We have compiled a solid reference of all the places we’ve traveled an lot of valuable statistics.
The other great thing is that Florian (developer of the app) will get back to you personally - promptly - to answer any question you might have.
I highly recommend this app.

Excellent app
It does what they advertise, no issue up to now.
Great app
I have been using it for about 3000nm and love it.
Great app. Must to keep your memories.
No app like this in the market. Love it but instead of listing all the good stuff I will submit my wish list.
Ways to improve the great app
I like to know my sail plan to calculate polars, track sail wear and understand the need of my headsails. To that end I would like to be able to input: Genoa (100%, 1 reef, 2 reef, 3 reef, furled) staysail (same setting sas Genoa ), asymmetrical (up or down), reacher (up or down), mainsail (same as Genoa). The status of the sails should follow through records tountil changed. One should be able to change via Apple Watch. Please note I frequently have two headsails flying.
Also able to select certain sailing styles
Wing on wing, hove to, twin headsails,Bare polled
I would like a table after every trip of 3hr, 12hr, and 24hr records of all good stats. Distance traveled, ave wind speed etc.
Allow up to 5 photos per log entry. Now it is one.
End of voyage stats by sail plan
More nmea data
engine rpm, ocean current, go crazy do a ton
Have freeform text come after relevant entry not at the end.
For multi day trips have the 24 map appear throughout the log book.
Every 24 hours have a stat section.

Thanks a lot for the praise and your improvement suggestions! 🙏 You sent me also an email with your ideas, which I answered already, let's stay in contact via email to follow up on the topics!
Great app, but room for improvement.
This is a great app for long distance sailing but there are a few improvements that would make it perfect.
You don't seem to be able to save your boat details, but have to add it all again every time you open a new logbook.
You can't set it to auto record for course change, unless you get hundreds or 1000 of records. And you can only multi deleted from end to a set time/date. Not choose your own. So for short handed sailing it can be a bit of a challenge.
But I do like that you can add a record, then fill in details later, if you can remember or have written down what you did at that time.
Would e great if you could work out how to connect to the NEMEA on your boat. There is no configuration in settings as support suggested to connect to your boats data.

Undecided
It was not immediately intuitive to me, and is taking a while to get settings where I want them. Will persist with the app to give it a fair chance.
Lots of problems
This app is not reliable. It quits without warning and the mileages get all messed up. It’s trying to get too sophisticated. KISS in this kind of application would be better. Trying to get automatic weather and other online applications makes it unreliable for offshore use. Looking for other apps.
I I have been up on land for a month and now my app won’t open. It crashes. Please help.
Pleas help me. I LOVE THIS APP. I will be lost without it. It won’t open now. It keeps crashing. Thanks. B

Hi, this bug was solved in version 2.33. sorry for all circumstances. Please consider to update your review. Thank you. Next time please contact me directly. I can give support and solutions much faster than here in App Store reviews.
Well-written, comprehensive functionality
Great product that works out on the water, easy and intuitive to use. Provides an efficient way to record activities, conditions and observations while sailing. The way it integrates location, weather conditions, simple 2-button control of common activities while underway and ease of embedding a photo taken at the time of any log entry is impressive. I was pleased that my iPhone battery consumption was not seriously impacted (100% at 10:00 start of sailing trip - 58% at 18:00 back at mooring, despite automatically logging at 1/8 mile intervals with many manual log text additions and photos taken. I even checked emails, took some video and did some browsing during the day). At the end of the day I was able to share the log as a PDF file containing all information and photos from the voyage. I have not been able to record so much information in a logbook with such little effort and share it so easily before. I thoroughly recommend using this app, well worth the cost.

Designed by Pros
I'm a marine engineer and software consultant. Having said that I know what clean code and well thought specs feel like. This app feels good. It's not for the professional mariner. It's for those of us that want a log of our journeys with out the hassle. Best app I've tried and I have tried quite a few, paid a lot more gotten much less! You won't be disappointed.

Super useful
Really great for tracking what your sail is and letting others know how you're doing (as long as you have data service).

My favorite Ship's Log
Much better than other "Logbook" apps that I've used.
