This is a good idea but I am tired of apps that want access to everything on my phone and for that reason will be removing it untill they either remove these or justify them.

As a Boatus member I rely on this app for boating safety. With my new phone there is no member sign in link. That means I can't enter my member number, personal information, or contacts in case of an emergency. This makes the app almost worthless to me. My new phone is an LG tribute running on KitKat. I hope this gets fixed soon.

To enter Settings/personal ID on new Android v4.4.4 you must hold down the menu key (left of Home button) to enter your info. Lat & Lon are too small to read with sunlight or a rocking boat. PLEASE make them larger.

by S####:

Have to install app on new phone and couldn't find the personnel data link until I read reviews. New LG 3 phone has the personnel data on the multi-screen button on the right of the home button. Hard to find if your not aware of the feature. I didn't think the feature existed for a half an hour and was ready to remove the app. Other apps let you scan your card and have personnel data stored but this one didn't.

Why should this app want every access to all the information on my phone? No way! I don't see it as in any way appropriate for BOAT/US to help customers. Bad plan. Very disappointed.

D70%

Absolutely useless! No settings to enter any member info.

Cannot find settings menu on Galaxy 5S. Makes this app worthless. Called Boat US and they were of no help, the people there did not even understand their own app.

There is no settings menu. App needs Kit Kat update.

Crappy App...... downloaded it twice to try to get it to work...... seems much of the options didn't get put in the version I'm trying to download to my Samsung s5...... I only get links to call for service...... no settings link, no options under "Share" link, and on and on...... also claims my GPS isn't activated, but all my other GPS apps find it just fine...... VERY DISAPPOINTING........
