## Boat Beacon Description
Boat Beacon is an internet AIS receiver and transmitter for your iPhone and iPad. It is the only AIS ship tracking app to provide Collision Warnings, share your boat’s position & use real-time AIS data.

Connected to the largest network of AIS shore receivers world-wide covering most major ports, harbours and popular coastal areas.

“An outstanding app, with great potential. Both interesting to use and very user friendly. This could be a life saver and especially of interest to small boat users. Everyone who goes on the water should have this on and use it!”  ***** Sun Dream, App Store Review

Boat Beacon is designed for boaters & provides continuous Bearing, Range & Closest Point of Approach (CPA) calculations and alarms in addition to standard AIS information even when in the background.

Boat Beacon does not require any external AIS transponder or receiver equipment.

Key Features
------------
Over-the-horizon collision avoidance (30 miles radius) using continuous CPA calculations - highlights boats that are on a potential collision course and alerts you with an alarm.

Continually transmits and receives position information via the internet and calculates and alarms CPA even when the app is in the background.

Shares your position with Internet AIS Systems & apps & other Boat Beacon users in real time.

Real time ship map view with North up & Heading up modes so you can look in the direction of the ships on the map to locate them.

Nav display showing own boat's speed, course, heading and position.

SART Alarm

Man Overboard tracking, Anchor watch & Theft alarms (IAP).

Apple Watch App included

Siri voice commands 

Export tracks

Boat-to-Boat & Group Messaging. 

Local AIS & GPS via Wifi.

Boat Beacon InApp Add-ons:-

The "AIS Sharing " subscription is monthly ($5.99) or yearly ($16.49), and will automatically renew at the end of the subscription period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase, and will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period.

Your position can be shared and seen on all our apps without using an MMSI number. To be seen on Global AIS systems like MarineTraffic you need an MMSI number. In the US you can obtain one  by visiting  or email us for a free internet MMSI number.

Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

NOT FOR NAVIGATION
Boat Beacon should only be used for basic navigation reference and should not be solely relied upon to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction. You will not be visible to other ships on VHF only AIS systems.

## Boat Beacon Reviews in Australien

### ***** "Ace app"
Best thing for those onshore following tour progress and finding your sailing partners if you lose sight.
-- lotusphotographic, 2024-05-15

### ***** "Support"
Absolutely fantastic support as I set up the app again with my new phone. Now working really well again. I highly recommend this great App.
-- FC Roger - QF4, 2024-03-10

### *---- "Really buggy."
Crashes constantly, expensive and unreliable.
-- bsbsisbnsjjshbbbriupwbva, 2024-03-03

### ***-- "Works well but….."
This app generally works well, but there are big areas of my local region where there is no coverage at all. Other apps have much better coverage.
-- Riverboatmike, 2023-09-07

### ****- "Slow & patchy"
App worked much better & faster before last update , now , only just acceptable
-- BjXR6, 2022-07-05

### ***** "Handy App"
The extra AIS coverage is handy for our operations for vessel tracking.
Regards Shane Barnes MAIES
President & Founder
South East Queensland UHF Emergency Service Team - SEQUEST
-- Shane Barnes MAIES, 2021-01-13

### *---- "Terrible"
Very dissatisfied and disappointed with what the app offers. Couldn’t even acknowledge that the boat I was on top of was my boat!! Doesn’t offer any benefits
-- Waterskisam, 2020-12-27

### *---- "App does not work and constantly turns it self off so your loved ones can not track u"
Does not work at all
-- dgdhdhdhdbdbd, 2020-08-20

### ***** "A handy app thanks"
I enI
-- Andy Fire 01, 2020-07-20

### *---- "Stopped working"
Used it for a year was great but now, all of sudden will not show any nearby boats.
-- Stevemanch, 2018-11-01

### *---- "Pretty much a rubbish app"
Bought this app to track a certain ship. This ship could not be located using their search engine. Its a major cruiseliner, Norwegian Star. Sent an email to support, no response. Sent a message via the app to the developers, no response. Best avoid this app and save your money.
-- Fastlunch_1, 2017-02-16

### ***** "Boat Beacon"
Perfect for people who won't pay the high price for AIS equipment.
Boat Beacon shows all AIS vessels as well as mobile phone network boats which are invisible to AIS equipped rescue boats (in Australia at least). Can share your whereabouts with friends and more rescue  personnel are putting it on their mobile phones so they can see BB transmitting boats when out rescuing.
Best app in my phone even with the restriction of only working in mobile coverage.Perfect for small tinny owners who venture out of rivers.
-- Honryg, 2014-06-04

### *---- "Mark"
This app is clunky.  But worse is that it is limited in coverage.  For what ever reason the company is not collecting data in, for example, North Queensland.
-- myrtle wolf, 2013-10-28

### ***** "Great tool"
A must have app for boaters. Works well, worth the coin.
-- Krause legrande, 2013-07-18

### ***** "My Top App"
I've just fully set up this app using an AIS base station in my locality in Central Queensland AUS. I started with next to no knowledge and the support I received from the UK developers was first class.  Solid advice and sustained assistance was fantastic. Now I see live all AIS equipped ships in my area in HD on my iPhone and PC. Can't recommend this app high enough.  First rate.
-- Redsails , 2013-04-11

### ***** "Unreal"
Great app guys real handy works well cheers
-- Eagle-111, 2013-03-17

### ***** "Incredible"
What a fantastic app! Provides anyone who is involved in boating with very useful and interesting information.
Includes all sorts of useful features, like anchor alarm, and enables you to not only see other vessels, but also be seen by them.
-- Velvet Tonsils, 2013-01-08

### ***** "Mr"
Great app works perfect
-- Jb00000786000, 2012-12-17

### ***** "Mr"
I find this app handy to find out where ships are before going to word .pilotage
-- Neil Bink, 2012-12-06

### *---- "Not happy"
For $10 not happy with what I got.
-- Sha-nia, 2012-11-26
