Zulu waterways
Handy app that just keeps growing. Lots of excellent local info and very easy to use.
Must have for cruising
Highly recommended for all boating and especially cruising
Offline satellite maps
The offline satellite maps are so useful. Much better now having the online and offline maps on the same apps. Great Stuff!
Great idea but has some flaws in the way it works
For example, looking at the information section in the entrance to Bermagui, in amongst the information is a link you can open to view the entrance webcam, once you open this link, there is no way of exiting the page you have opened to go back to Zulu waterways. It is not open in a browser, there is no back button, swiping left, right, up or down doesn’t do anything. Reboot the iPad or restart Zulu waterways is the only way back. Perhaps you could enable comments on the YouTube help page so that these sort of issues could be discussed.

So Helpful - and the cruiser spirit lives on
Cruisers around the world can share their own local and discovered information to make life easier for those who follow in their wake - such a great app and full of community spirit - lots of great coverage already... love it
Great app
This app has made significant improvements to its speed and usability. The information in Australia rivals printed cruising guides. A very useful resource for planing sailing trips.
Un-navigable on iPhone 7
Whatever you do don’t click on an icon and try to read it, if you are lucky you can read half of what is written, otherwise the app will freeze and your only option may be to force-quit the app, or remain trapped in the doldrums forever.

You will find that since you left this review that the app in smooth running on iPhone 7. Significant upgrades have been made in the past couple years.
BOB
When I read about the App I thought it would be useful. Then I read through the legal contract related to contributing your information and basically anything you post becomes their intellectual property. This becomes a legal nightmare if you copy something you wrote on another forum to their app or even an email to a friend. You will have to delete everywhere it occurs. Be very careful as you could post something from someone else’s social media sight into their sight and wala the nightmare gets way worse.
