I love this application so so much but fix the slow hanging things.... it is somehow irritating.... just make it flow well.... I need update please or I will take back my five star in six months time

The app fails to open on my Galaxy Note 4 and on Galaxy tablet

Seriously please redesign this app, the user interface always hangs at start up and the text is too small on images, this may be ok on a tablet but it's useless on a phone. I'm currently doing my day skipper and was hoping this would be an aid and quick reference. Unfortunately a book or ebook is much easier to use. Take a look a the boating reference app if you want an example of a good app. I've been developing software my self for over 20 year and very rarely feel the need to comment to such a degree.

I use this app because I'm creating a very realistic virtual rendition of my town which is an important naval asset, and I had no clue about admiralty charts or how to read one until I got this app. Safe-Skipper is awesome
