ColRegs Reviews

Not the one

Χάλια μαύρα on

United States

Keep looking, not a user friendly interface, not a great learning tool. Not worth the money, buyer’s remorse. I got the 3 app bundle and all 3 have the same terrible format.

Has Potential

TheKewlOne on

United States

Has a lot of potential to be a great app. As of this review, the application is rules 1-4, 20-31 of Navigation Rules and Regulations, and a short quiz. You can buy the whole book for $9.50 on Amazon (rules 1-38, Annex’s, and 50 pages of additional information). The book only has pictures in black and white, so the examples in the book are not very useful. I purchased this app hoping there would be colored pictures If the developers of this app provide colored examples I would recommend this app to others. Unfortunately, there are NO pictures. If the app ever adds pictures examples of the lights in color, it will be worth it.

Has Errors

Mr. Bawksalot on

United States

I found at least one error in one of the test questions. I don't want to use an app that is going to sabotage me. Test Yourself Q7, the correct answer should be "NOT making way NUC" but "Making way NUC" is listed as the correct answer. Not reliable.

Great - wish I’d found this before

Traveller231 on

United States

Comprehensive info on navlights and day shapes with a really useful test section. Covers a lot, and has very clear diagrams of how the lights will look, as well as the written official regs. A good purchase.

Recommended, good app

SunnyDazeX on

United States

This was recommended by the instructor at my local sail school. There’s a lot of useful stuff here and it’s well presented. A good way to learn the Colregs and keep them on your ‘phone for when you need to check.

App is wrong

Doc doc1967 on

United States

Take the test and wrong answers provided no right answer want my money back don't waste your time

Professionally done, with good clear info.

my_apple_review on

United States

Easy and intuitive to navigate and use, and what's more the graphics are the best I've seen in similar apps. I saw it had good reviews from others and wasn't disappointed when I downloaded. A great app for anyone going out on the water, and anyone learning for exams.

COLREGS

CG officer on

United States

I purchased this app (and its sister app "Rules if the Road") to study for a USCG nav rules exam. It wasn't that helpful. The self-test feature works okay, but doesn't allow you to keep track of your progress. Most annoying for me is that one must purchase two separate apps to cover the entire COLREGs, and US Inland Rules are not Included. (Okay, I know it is a UK app.) One is better off simply studying the COLREGS itself.
