I'm not going to get a refund because I was taught to skipper a vessel with as much info at your fingertips as possible. I can see this being useful on a nightwatch to serve as a reminder but it will not get you through your RYA exams. It lacks depth. The flash cards might cost more but at least you get all colregs covered. Some might feel a little short-changed with this app. A good effort but please add more content.

I find it hard to remember the rules of the road while out at sea, and this is a great app to refresh the memory and so convenient to have it on the phone (Samsung Galaxy S GT-1900, i.e. Android). The graphics are very clear and there is plenty of useful information. Great app.

Many of the graphics will not display on Galaxy S3, just displays little question marks. Also seems unfinished: many of the page titles are shifted to the left and are obscured by the "Back" button. Would try app again if fixed. Refunded.

The test section has at least one incorrect question. Constrained by draft does not trump restricted in ability to maneuver. Don't trust this to teach you.

I bought this app after originally purchasing the NavLights app by the same company group, both seem fairly well laid out, hovever during my self testing i find that the questions are exacly the same each time and appear in the exact same order, i think this app would benefit from a bigger bank of 'self-test' questions and a 'randomizer type equation' for the order. Please update at your convinience.
