Nebo - Boat Logging Made Easy.

I had checked out Nebo a few years ago - but tried again and it’s definitely improving. Sharing a track of my journey has worked out great.

The app has constantly provided the location of vessels I follow. Additionally, the search function provides an efficient way to locate any boat by name.

Would also be a lot better if you could zoom and zoom out on friends trips and locations. The maps are so zoomed in I can't tell where they are. I end up going on google maps and typing in the name of the nearest town but that won't work if they are out in the middle of the ocean.

In the beginning, this was a great app. I had recommended to others. But then things changed and now the logs aren’t accessible unless you purchase an annual subscription. Went from having access to logs to where it only holds three months worth of logs unless you spend money. It is like they decided to hold your information hostage. Disappointing.

The app continues to lock up for me. I am not sure what is going on.

We purchased Nebo as a way of creating logs automatically. I learned about this AGLCA. Best money spent. We bought the physical device that went on anytime the boat went on and started moving. Perfect as you don’t have to worry about logging the trip everything‘s done for you. Another cool feature that I like is to take pictures when we’re under the way and they go into the daily log that we share with family. A lot of bang for the buck.

I love this app. Use it all the time.

Been using Nebo for 3 years and the recent changes have significantly increased battery drainage and privacy concerns to the point that I am looking to de platform . Originally it was simple and did what I needed I hope that they return to what made them successful rather than the current version 👎

I was using this happily for a couple of weeks to try it out before subscribing but since the last update, if the app loses the GPS signal at all, it fails to reconnect and consequently doesn’t track the route. Even when ending the route it won’t update to the current location, instead defaulting to where it lost GPS. The phone tracks the GPS location fine (as verified on various other mapping tools) but Nebo seems unable to reconnect to GPS. As such, it is now useless.

Great concept for a niche product. Unfortunately, it is bug ridden, fails frequently, and requires device restart to work again. The app interface is not very robust, and there are many missing, but obvious features. Maybe if they keep raising prices, the app will be improved.
