## What is Skippo Sweden?

Clear and simple charts for safe navigation on the lake – on a day trip with a motorboat, a sailing holiday or an evening trip with a kayak. Skippo helps you with your boat ownership. Find your next destination, and the auto route shows you the way there.

NAVIGATE SAFELY
Digital charts with GPS position, course and speed (built-in knot meter) directly on the map. Skippo's auto route plans the best route for you and shows estimated arrival time and distance. Night and sun mode provide a clear view in all conditions, and with AIS and Skippo boats you can follow others on the lake.

WIND AND WEATHER ON THE CHART
See how the wind develops along your route – hour by hour with wind arrows, directly on the chart. No more juggling multiple coastal weather apps, compare multiple sources of boat weather in the same view.

PORT GUIDE
Find your next stop with detailed port descriptions, filter by facilities and search for ports by wind. Get inspired and discover new places to visit.

Points of interest such as harbors, seaside restaurants, seaside snack bars, septic tanks and grocery stores – always close at hand.

OFFLINE WHEN YOU NEED IT
Download offline maps and navigate even without coverage.

YOUR BOATING SEASON IN TRACKS AND FIGURES
Skippo saves your trips for you and fills in the details. The statistics summarize the season and help you remember.

ALL YOUR BOATS AND DOCUMENTS IN ONE PLACE
Sailboat, motorboat or kayak, collect all your boats and easily switch between them. Document service, repairs and purchases, and register theft markings and insurance numbers to increase the chance of getting your boat or engine back if an accident occurs.

CUSTOMIZE THE CHART TO YOUR BOATING LIFE
Adjust what is shown on the chart and the size of text and symbols – according to how you plan and navigate.

HYDROGRAPHICA SPECIAL CHARTS
Swedish charts from official sources, continuously updated and always available. Add Hydrographica special charts and unlock 2m depth curves and tips on mooring spots

Join a million other boat owners in the Nordics – Skippo is with you on board, on the dock and on the couch.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on my phone

*2025-08-27*

Same as others commenting here. Can’t register with smart or premium. I’m in Sweden and have even set my vpn to Sweden. Disappointed!

### 1/5 — Worthless UI

*2025-07-27*

Impossible to navigate the UI. Trying to sign up, all roads lead to a features page but nowhere to actually sign up.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback – we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

The reason you’re unable to access the sign-up or subscription options is that Skippo is currently only available for subscription in the Nordic countries (Nordic App Stores). This means that certain features, like the paywalls, won’t appear or function correctly if you’re located outside that region.

We completely agree that this should be clearer in the app, and we’re working on making that more transparent.

### 1/5 — Strange App

*2025-07-23*

Goal is to sell you a subscription but doesn’t show any pricing options or way to sign up within the app after registering. Ultimately was unable to use this due to broken design. Unusual to come across an app that cannot get this fundamental feature right. I’m in Sweden by the way so it clearly still doesn’t work right.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The app currently only supports purchases in the Nordic countries and a few selected European regions due to licensing and administrative reasons. That might be why you’re unable to see pricing or complete a purchase. We understand this can be frustrating and hope to expand availability in the future.

### 5/5 — Best ever

*2025-07-17*

Best Navigation app I ever had
 for a good price. Unfortunately not with German charts.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, we’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the app! You’re right, we don’t currently offer German charts, hopefully we can change that in the future.

### 5/5 — Several gadgets possible?

*2025-06-02*

Is it possible to install and use the app on several gadgets with the same login?

**Developer response:** We’re really glad to hear you’re happy with Skippo! And yes, you’re absolutely right: your subscription works across multiple devices, as long as you’re logged in with the same account.

### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar

*2024-12-30*

Ich habe die App durch einen Artikel in der YACHT entdeckt. Und eigentlich könnte das eine tolle App sein. Wir sind eingefleischte Navionics User, aber da wir viel in Dänemark segeln, hat mich das aufgeräumte Kartenbild sehr angesprochen. Wirklich schön. ABER, nach dem Kauf des Premium Pakets wollte ich dann eine Offline Seekarte runterladen. Dabei sind dann die Probleme aufgetreten. 1. Die UNFASSBAR niedrige Geschwindigkeit. Wir haben eigentlich extrem schnelles Internet, aber das hat ca. 40 Minuten gedauert. 2. Es hat auch nur bis 99% geladen, auf die 100% ging es auch nach weiteren 15 Minuten nicht. 3. Wenn ihr die App offen lasst, aber zwischendrin was anderes macht, geht alles von vorne los. 4. Ihr könnt nur einen sehr kleinen Ausschnitt der erworbenen Karte für die offline Nutzung runterladen, sonst kommt eine entsprechende Fehlermeldung. Apple hat mir großzügiger Weise das Geld zurückerstattet, vielen Dank. So leider nicht Nutzbar. Sehr schade.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with our offline maps. We appreciate your input and want you to know that we’ve been working to address these concerns.

A new app version with improvements to resolve these issues will be released very soon. Please keep your app updated to benefit from the enhancements as soon as they’re available.

Thank you for trying our app—we hope you’ll give it another chance once the updates are live!

### 1/5 — Not accepting active PRO-Subscription

*2023-08-09*

Existing GuleSider PRO-Subscription is not recognized. Re-install does not help. Norway map bugged. Sorry, absolutely not acceptable.

**Developer response:** It seems your apple account, by some reason, has been transferred to germany. As we do not have the app published there I think it might be issues in the systems provided by Apple. 
Please contact Apple. You can file an issue via https://reportaproblem.apple.com/

### 5/5 — Bra sjökort

*2019-06-29*

Ett sjökort att planera efter, enkelt och smidigt.
