Very helpful reference book
I have found this to be a great reference and refresher for reviewing and figuring out different formulas that make boating easier. It has very useful information for beginners and advanced boaters. Thanks for a great app.
Very useful and well made app

Great reference manual
I am a new boater and this is great for references and how-to's. It is filled with a great amount of information that can help me from making costly mistakes.
Great reference source
Keep it handy! Index allows you to quickly find the information you need. Great to refresh the memory ie. getting off a dock when pinned by the wind. Well written in easy to understand sections.
Concise and complete!
I've use this app for a long time and I am happier than ever with the latest version. It is just so useful!

Very comprehensive and concentrated book. A great companion, but as many know, not a replacement for skill and experience.
Brilliant app
This is a vastly comprehensive reference source of the various areas of nautical knowledge. The physical book is always close at hand in the pilot house of my boat. And now to have it all in my pocket on my iPhone is a leap forward in convenience. The calculators integrated in the text make it even more useful than the printed book. Indexing and bookmarking are well executed and helpful for retrieving information you need from the abundant material in this app. Applause for the developer.
Well worth every cent
Most inclusive reference app I've downloaded.
Educational
I like it I give it a 5 star
