“A well written and detailed app for yachts & inland craft also quite useful for ocean going vessels – well done.”

“This app is full of really useful info for anyone going to sea (or inland waterways I would think). It’s presented really well, and has some good graphics. Can’t believe just how much they’ve packed in. Recommended.”
