It also features a true wind calculator (giving wind speed and direction,dew point and relative humidity),an eta calculator (multiple results are shown at a time depending upon the user settings),a sailing calculator featuring great circle and Mercator sailing calculators along with intermediate point calculator.
It also displays the device's position(lat,long,speed,cog) from the GPS and the compass heading.
The accuracy of the results displayed has been thoroughly tested with the US navy website, the nautical almanac of 2013.The results are with in 10-15 seconds which is accurate enough for sea.

Program crashes upon clicking on the Star Finder tab . Of course Samsung J7 has no magnetic sensor. But other apps Im using dont simply crash because of a necessary compass sensor is not found in the system.

Useful! Helpful! Star finder "Longitude; shows DDDmmm.ss". My suggestion will be " DDDmm.ss" in actual number values.

Installed on Samsung S7 Edge and it wouldnt even open. Sucks a heap of power in the background without even being able to use it.. So a complete waste of $6 unless it can be sorted ASAP

Pls change the time format of UTC for STAR FINDER instead of Hours and Mins make it HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS cause the azimuth shown is only on whole number. Pls include the missing decimals. This will help a lot. Thank you

App is very nice. One suggestion to add marine port distances also. Other thing is the picture displayed is not full on the display. I have to scroll up to see rest of the fields. Pls rectify this.

it would be better if there is an option to take celestial observation by min and sec..not just hourly..for example i want to take gha of the moon by 1235H..just saying:)

Please update! Wind. SS=10kts, SC=117, RWS=30kts, RWD=90°. The answer is -135N which is incorrect. It shall be TWD=SW, 225°. Steaming time shall be by days, hours & minutes. Thanks.

One of the best apps for sailors of all breed. Just one very small issue the data in the welcome page is too small to read especially if you have the screen on dim, experienced this after the new update. This app has come a long way from its simple early days. As always looking forward to seeing new features, keep em coming ⚓

Rise set Longitude format is dddmm.m but actual will be like this 123°456.7'. It shall be 123°45.6'. Not all has calculate button on screen. Steaming time shall have by hours also.

It is quite a good application. I like the almanac and tested with terrestial sailings with only 2 nm difference from nav calculator. It is a great application.Thanks guys..better if it will be included with port distances and world map layout for lat/long coordinates projection. Tested with gps feedback..almost same remarks..More innovations..
