Developed and used by a keen sailor, after 15 years it remains the popular choice and 'go-to' app of thousands. Features: • 'Port' display for approx. 750 primary and secondary ports from the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and the Republic of Ireland. This gives you a tide table for the next 7 days, along with a meteogram of 3 hourly weather forecasts and daylight times, position relative to closest springs or neaps and moon phase. For 648 ports, there is a tidal curve prediction for the current day. Both are extendable up to 10 days with the 'Standard' subscription. With the curves you can see the height predicted for any time - or vice versa (default behaviour configurable in Settings) and optionally a curve adjusted for barometric pressure. • View Tide Tables in a standard format, and with the 'Premium' subscription retrieve up to 12 months of data (where available) for a port. • Tidal Streams for up to 10 days (more than 7 days requires the 'Standard' subscription). Pan and zoom the map to show your preferred area, and scroll along the time. Touch and hold to see the forecasted set and drift. This data covers the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and the Republic of Ireland. • Marine Forecasts:  - the current UK Inshore and Shipping forecasts, and synoptic charts for Northern Atlantic and NW Europe. - the current Irish Sea Area Forecast and Coastal Report. • Navigation:  - display your current GPS position, speed-over-ground (SOG), course-over-ground (COG), plus distance and heading to user-configurable waypoints.   - Waypoints can be imported or exported as GPX files and ordered within the file to allow quick switching to the next waypoint.   - A built-in compass shows the direction to the current waypoint. - A navigation view to display the contents of a selected waypoint file plotted on a map. Create a track to a waypoint and calculate cross track error (XTE) with heading correction plus Velocity Made Good. (not available with 'Basic' subscription). - The Navigation Chart page now displays nautical chart data   - **Experimental Features** - Navigation Narration - with a waypoint target set, Boatie can now narrate key navigation data such as BTW, SOG, COG, VMG-C, Heading, DTW and XTE. Useful when needing to use Boatie ‘hands-free’. (not available with 'Basic' subscription) - NMEA 0183 Receiver. Display position, speed and bearing data via an on-board NMEA 0183 WiFi Gateway (with Premium sub). • Reference: a useful set of information easily to hand whether you're out on the water or doing your theory course. It currently includes: - Day shapes - Navigation lights - Sound signals - Beaufort scale - Forecast terminology - UK Inshore forecast areas map - ROE Marine Weather Services Map - Signal flags, phonetic alphabet & morse code - VHF Channel usage plus emergency radio protocols - IALA A Buoyage - Links to UKHO Alerts • System Widgets, a companion Apple Watch app and Complications are included. So, next time you are meeting the crew in the pub for planning your weekend, or when you're out enjoying it, take Boatie to have the key information you need with you on your iPhone or iPad. An internet connection is required for some features, and the data is then cached for short periods for use whilst out sailing. Please do let me know your feedback - I'm always very grateful for it. If you have questions, find problems or have suggestions for future improvements please use the support link in the app or email support@msswsolutions.com . ** Note: The app is free to download, but a subscription is required to access the service. ** Boatie - Terms & Conditions: Apple EULA: ## Boatie Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/6f/b9/99/6fb999df-0322-053a-cf29-79687bfbc448/6f750bd0-f17e-48a6-b193-2c07aece093a_WatchHome.png/368x448.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/53/fe/25/53fe25e5-3928-291f-b13f-c21f2cf7c68c/8c76c5a6-cabb-4251-b5f7-fd042e356ff0_WatchEvents.png/368x448.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/c6/5e/1a/c65e1a49-7eeb-bcf3-1016-4500f99a60e7/700c462c-b058-49e7-8026-291f96dd697b_WatchFace1.png/368x448.png) ## Boatie Rating Breakdown in United Kingdom - 5 stars: 675 (80%) - 4 stars: 95 (11%) - 3 stars: 20 (2%) - 2 stars: 12 (1%) - 1 stars: 40 (5%) ## Boatie Reviews in United Kingdom ### ***** "Best boating app !" This is a brilliant app for yachties and boaties.......... Excellent weather, tide and tidal stream info. Simple to use and quick to update. James also very open to feedback too. Highly recommended. -- CDT757, 2024-08-15 ### ***** "Skipper" Excellent Miss the tide clock, but we'll done. 🇬🇧👍 -- Anastasia Channel Boat, 2024-07-16 ### ***** "Annoyed" Just purchased this app as I wanted to show Neap And Spring tides on my Home Screen as a widget. I’m boat crew for the RNLI so wanted this for obvious reasons. Straight away noticed the tide height is wrong - by 0.7m which makes a difference. Just given over £10 away! -- ship app, 2024-06-07 ### *---- "Unable to access after paying for subscription" I previously had this app on an old iPad and just started a new subscription on my new ish iPhone 13. I managed to register for the new subscription and have paid the annual fee however the app keeps hanging at the opening screen and I am completely unable to access the app. I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times and am completely unable to access. I don’t know what has happened and I am very sad because this app used to be great. I also can’t find a way to request a refund, v frustrating. -- Boatie review, 2024-05-28 ### ***** "Probably the most valuable app for any lover of the sea…" Most of us leave our Reed’s Almanac on our boats. This app is invaluable for planning everything (including weather forecasts and tidal predictions) you need when away from our boats. It’s also run by a real person who is actually interested in suggestions. Cannot recommend it more highly… -- Havenmeister, 2024-04-20 ### ***** "Excellent support" Really useful and comprehensive app. Very good communications when upgrades are introduced and very supportive of suggested improvements. -- Banjoboxer, 2024-03-13 ### ***** "Fantastic app!" A superb app for anyone on or who lives by the sea that just keeps getting better and better with more information and features being added with each release. Highly recommended… -- JML617, 2024-03-10 ### ***** "Brilliant, simple to use, comprehensive features" Great library, tidal curves, tidal streams, weather, even waypoint tracking which allows you to store multiple routes (folders of waypoints) to navigate with later. Useful for storing racing marks or routes. Distance and bearing to next waypoint. A unique and simple app in an otherwise crowded space of navigation apps. Nice to see this app being continuously improved by the developer. Really nice to see VMG/C ! Thank you! 😁 -- j3224p, 2023-10-29 ### ***-- "App now slow" The new app is much (frustratingly) slower to open and move to new pages than the old one was -- 9753M, 2023-10-02 ### ***** "Feedback" I have just installed the latest update, all seems well but the colours on the wind speed are a little on the insipid side, I preferred the brighter -- ebjakey, 2023-09-23 ### ***** "Excellent app and responsive developer" I use a number of sailing apps and this is my favourite for tides and winds. When it suffered a glitch lately I messaged the developer who responded very promptly and it was fixed. Top marks! -- Smungargle, 2023-08-04 ### ***** "Weather forecast" Hi Guys - just an observation but in the old app the weather forecast area remained constant, i.e. I’m Lyme Regis to Selsey Bill and yet I always have to reset it. Ray 5/11/22 - lovely to have stable forecast area again, thank you! 4/8/23 - Hi Stuart - happy anniversary! Loving the new experimental waypoint facility. Ray -- solentcruiser, 2023-08-04 ### ***** "Boatie" I don’t normally write reviews, but this is an exception, I have used this app since conception, and have been keen to let the developer know of any problems I had, he always replied with recommendations. This is the best and most practical marine app I have had the pleasure to use, I recommend it to all yachtsmen. -- QWERTY2467, 2023-07-28 ### ***** "The best" Best boating app out there -- Agtrum, 2023-06-22 ### ***** "Boatie is an excellent aid to sail cruising." The information and features are impressive. -- Malcolm (MPH), 2023-06-20 ### ***** "Boatie" This is a tremendously useful and easy to use app. I find myself using it as my ‘go to’ app for all things boating related. Stuart, the developer, is constantly refining it and adding useful features. -- Sailor 2023, 2023-06-12 ### ***** "go to tidal app" They way I think is that it suits me to have a separate app that I can go to to see the simple straightforward graphics to show the local tidal situation, without having to delve through pages that tend to be too complicated. keep it up -- sailingclassic, 2023-04-16 ### ***** "App Stopped Working" Can someone help? -- drewfix.com, 2023-03-19 ### ***** "Top notch tech support" When I first downloaded Boatie, each time I selected a port, the app would crash and have to be deleted and re-installed before it could be re-opened. After repeating this process several times, I contacted support - Stuart responded, out of hours, within 30 minutes. Following Stuart’s advice, the issue was swiftly resolved (my iOS required an update), and I was able to explore Boatie. The app provides a wealth of useful, relevant, well-presented information in an accessible format. £9.99 for a year is a tiny price to pay to kiss goodby to secondary port and tidal height calculations. I look forward to using Boatie while cruising the South Coast this summer. -- Shorinjikan, 2023-03-10 ### *---- "Not worth the new subscription" Are used to be quite a good app and we have found others to be better especially now that these people expect us to pay a subscription to use it. Not worth a subscription. Deleted. -- Ted5, 2023-02-28 [View all Boatie reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Boatie In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Boatie Basic | £0.99 | | Boatie Premium (w/ 12m Tables) | £1.69 | | Boatie Standard (w/10d Curves) | £1.19 | ## Boatie Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | United Kingdom | Weather | #17 | | Top Grossing | Ireland | Weather | #60 | | Top Free | United Kingdom | Weather | #137 | ## Boatie Discovered Keywords - tides planner - tide app - marine navigation - boatie - navigation marine ## Apps Similar to Boatie - [Windfinder Pro: Wind & Weather](https://apptail.io/app/windfinder-pro-wind-weather-Fq/united-kingdom) - [My Tide Times - Tables & Chart](https://apptail.io/app/my-tide-times-tables-chart-uqe/united-kingdom) - [UK Weather Radar - Live Rain](https://apptail.io/app/uk-weather-radar-live-rain-kyi/united-kingdom) - [WindHub: Sailing Weather](https://apptail.io/app/windhub-sailing-weather-Eeu/united-kingdom) - [Home and Dry](https://apptail.io/app/home-and-dry-ebK/united-kingdom) - [XCWeather](https://apptail.io/app/xcweather-LKT/united-kingdom) - [Tides PRO - Tide Times](https://apptail.io/app/tides-pro-tide-times-QCrc/united-kingdom) - [My Tide Times Pro - Tide Chart](https://apptail.io/app/my-tide-times-pro-tide-chart-XQld/united-kingdom) - [SolentMet](https://apptail.io/app/solentmet-hOve/united-kingdom) - [Tide Alert - UK](https://apptail.io/app/tide-alert-uk-ZFRp/united-kingdom) ## Boatie Available In - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/united-kingdom) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/ireland) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/france) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/switzerland) - [Estonia](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/estonia) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/spain) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/finland) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/greece) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/iceland) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/italy) - [Malta](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/malta) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/netherlands) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/norway) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/poland) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/portugal) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/austria) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/sweden) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/belgium) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/germany) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/boatie-Ybrc/denmark) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
