BoatBook Sailing Log

Worked pretty good for a while, now very rarely. They have updated app so I'll give it another try

Great idea, and looks good, but definitely needs a manual start button. The auto-start feature only realises you're moving after about 20 minutes.

Nmea data would be good. Wind speed, angle etc. Ability to write in some data.

Suddenly stopped working. As soon as you open it, within minutes it hangs. When you do get it going, while out at sea, it says you are back on land. Worked much better before the recent updates.

Useful app.To preserve battery on my tablet i purchased an external GPS ( GlobalSat ) with bluetooth connection and power bank for my tablet for sails longer then 6hrs.Needs tweeks manual start stop, option to delete demo and unwanted logs. Instruction U-Tube would be greatly apprishiated.

Started fine. 2nm out to sea and it decided I was back on land and ended my journey. Then it started again. Then stopped again. Have up with it in the end.

The bugs must've been worked out because the app logs properly anytime I'm on the water. Need to be able to delete and export logs, preferably with raw GPS readings.

But possible to delete unwanted logs?

Excellent visual summary

Install this app and kiss your battery life goodbye. Doesn't even matter if you open the app or not. Some background process gets launched and repeatedly pings the GPS, even when on land. Which is even more WTF -- why is it tracking my location when I haven't opened the app? Do yourself a favor, stay away.

Won't even turn on automatically any longer. Uninstalled and reinstalled worked once. Have contacted developers twice and no answer. I would pay for this it used to be that good. Now it is useless if it won't even start. How about a manual button for this problem. Hope they get it right and fix it. Disappointed.

It was positively brilliant when it worked for ten minutes. What's the point if it does nothing? Reinstalled 3 times. Needs to be fixed properly. It has grand potential for boaters if it is reliable.

User stupidity, sort out auto start and mid way shut down issue - power management on Android killed it. Back to working order

Cant syncronise my sails into my profile. Cant export them into other formats. More specifically a. Txt file that could be read in real logbook format. Cant access headings and speeds at each different portions.

It is great that it auto starts, looking forward to the upgrade that will auto stop when speed has been zero for user set period of time, so you can end a sail at anchor without going ashore.

Old version on previous phone (galaxy s6 edge) worked well. Installed it on this phone (galaxy s6 edge again) and it just doesn't start.added new boat same as old one and still doesn't work.

Feature that blocks it from working unless "at sea" also blocks it from working on Great Lakes.

What a great idea. It keeps dropping off halfway through trips when change network provider.

It seems to work well but the speed is wrong

Says app needs to be connected to network to run. I am connected but app will not run bummer...

Unreliable.

Doesn't recognise major lakes and waterways when travelling. It's never autostarted when I sail on the 20 x 8km lake Ta'al near Manila but it happily autologs all my plane flights over the ocean. Go figure!? A manual start option would fix this when autostart gets confused

Wonderful App, and very friendly e useful.

Been using now for a couple of Months, and apart from a couple of small niggles this ap is good. We need to be able to delete a log if we don't want it and a separate section to house all data would be good.

I'm missing an option to delete logs that where recorded by mistake or to edit for example the ship name I was in Greece for a week and I got lot of false logs when I was hanging out on the shore near the water line An option to temporary disable the application can also help in this situation Thank's for the application

How to fix the speed, it's recoding faster. 4 knt is 10 knts

I love the log. Wish it had I few more kinds of icons to map. Needs a manual way to end log. Bug is that it has locked up on a position I had 3 days ago and still says I'm sailing. Please help.

This is a great app. The best part is the huge potential for growth it has. One request, would it be possible to add a feature to share your profile publicly?

Speed over ground seems to only be calculated over the last two GPS measurements, resulting in absurd speeds. Direction is also mostly wrong. I like the interface, but not enough to compensate for the wrong sog and mean sog logs

Wonderful App, and very friendly e useful.

Can't figure out how to delete the sample Sweden trip log - not a very intuitive interface to manage trips like this one that I never did here in Canada. Very bare bones for a logbook for maintenance and activity tracking. I use Navionics Nav app which does a far better job of tracking trips AND ALLOWS YOU TO MANUALLY start and stop tracking plus navigate safely - this app is nothing more than a novelty toy. The folks that are rating this 5 stars are either smoking Crack or know nothing about proper seafaring logging...

Used to work like a charm, but suddenly two weeks ago, it merged two days record into one. And the speed and directoob review not working anymore

The app never starts doing anything. Not sure how to get it to start logging but it says its automatic. I've got sailing 3 times in Lake Michigan with this app running and had no results. If it did what it claimed to do I would use this app all the time.

Seems to hang up once the phone signal is out of range and won't restart unless I clear the data from the cache. Then I lose all the sailing info.

Sailing Log does what it says - keeps a record of your sailing. It automatically notices when you are travelling on water rather than land and starts a track recording distance, speed, and direction (but not time). All you need to do is make sure your device has a good GPS signal. After you can easily share with e.g. Facebook.

I need and want to love this app. Worked for 3 or 4 sails. Email to developer goes unanswered. Doesn't work at all now. Too bad, great concept.

After closing the app it starts running in the background and is using the gps. Seems you have not included a way to stop the app pr exit it completely. This will consume too much battery. Please fix it, seems i have to delete it to normally use my phone. Otherwise seems to be great app.

Initially looked promising, but .... The auto start/stop is really annoying if you sail close in. It really needs a manual override. Found a setting to change the time it takes but that workround came too late due to below. Major failing though is that it simply seems to stop logging after a while. No obvious errors or reasons.

Great update with the battery fix. I highly recommend to gove it a try.

Easy and nice app, great work.
