The Cruising App

Cruisy is the complete record of your boat, built for people who actually use theirs. Keep every system on board organised — engines, rigging, electrics, plumbing, safety gear — with your own categories and sub-categories. Under each one, store what matters: • SERVICE HISTORY — log every service with the date, who did it, and the invoice or report attached. • MANUALS — keep PDFs and documents for each piece of equipment where you'll actually find them. • NOTES — quick reminders about quirks, part numbers and settings. • PHOTOS — a gallery per system, so you can show an engineer exactly what you're looking at. • SPECIFICATIONS — the numbers you always need and can never remember. Beyond the systems themselves: • CHECKLISTS — build your own pre-departure, haul-out and handover lists, and tick them off as you go. • MEDICAL EQUIPMENT & SPARES — track what's aboard and what's running low. • CONTACTS — your yard, riggers, surveyors, marina offices and crew, grouped how you want them. • SHARING — send a checklist or record to crew or a contractor. WORKS OFFLINE This is the part that matters at sea. After you sign in once, Cruisy stores everything on your phone. Add a service record mid-passage, tick off a checklist in an anchorage with no bars, photograph a failed part offshore — it all saves instantly and syncs by itself the moment you're back in signal. Whether you're a weekend sailor, a liveaboard or running a boat professionally, Cruisy replaces the folder of damp paperwork in the chart table. SUBSCRIPTIONS Cruisy offers three annual auto-renewable subscriptions: Basic ($3.95/year), Pro ($13.95/year) and Premium ($19.95/year). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Cruising App at none against Split screen Player's shown. The Cruising App also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
