About ISA SafeTrx
Official app of the Irish Sailing Association - The ISA SafeTrx App allows you to register your vessel and plan your journey on your Smartphone.
Registering vessel and journey information couldn’t be any easier. Follow an easy to understand registration process to register your contact and vessel details within the application. Choose from the menu options to plan and file your trip (Sail Plan mode) or just activate the tracking function of the app (Track only mode).
To file a Sail Plan, choose your vessel, add the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), enter the number of persons on board and the activity type. Using the built-in maps, select a starting point, an optional waypoint and the end destination. Once this is completed simply press the ‘set sail’ button when you are ready to start your journey.
Pressing ‘set sail’ will register the journey details with the Irish Sailing Association computer server and will activate position reporting in the App. At regular intervals the App will send a position report to the server and your emergency contacts will be automatically alerted 30 minutes after the journey exceeds the ETA. At any stage during the journey you can end your trip, revise the ETA, number of people on board or the destination.
Use the ISA SafeTrx app to:
- Improve maritime trip planning with your own personalised checklist to be included as part of your Sail Plan.
- Access official Met Éireann weather data when planning your trip or when your trip is in progress.
- Activate a emergency call while your trip is in progress.
- Quickly start your trip using the ‘Track only’ mode to begin tracking at a touch of a button.
- Store up to 20 trips in your Mobile Logbook and replay trips within the app in video playback mode.
- View your journey history and manage your vessels, emergency contacts and other important information through the ISA SafeTrx boater site - https://safetrx.sailing.ie
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Please note - The information and functions provided in the App are provided on the understanding that users exercise their own skill and care with respect to use of the App. Safety at sea is a serious consideration. In emergency circumstances, you should not rely solely on the information and functions provided in this application, but seek information and assistance from as many sources as possible. The App may provide you with information and assistance relevant to your current location, as determined by your Device. However the mobile devices and the telecommunications systems that support mobile devices are inherently unreliable and there is a risk that there will be no connectivity between your Device and global positioning systems from time to time. We cannot guarantee uninterrupted connectivity between your Device and global positioning systems. You assume all such risk when using the App. The App is intended to be used as a supplementary tracking aid and should not be used as your only vessel communication or safety device.

If left on overnight, it drains the battery due to constant upload of location while yawing. And when the phone shuts down, it calls your emergency contacts. Aaarrgh! The concept was good but the execution left much to be desired. Also very cumbersome to sign on. Is a new version coming that will fix these issues?

Are there any plans on updating the app on Android as well? Saw that iPhone users are up to the 2016 version. Looks like there is a lot of potential for this

it is unnecessarily long to enter info for a trip. then one cannot enter more than one way point. what is the point? it is easier and faster to phone the emergency contacts - if there is phone coverage, without which safetrx also does not work

Any plans for tablet support without the calling features? We use a tablet as a plotter so would be useful to have this app in tandem on the same device.

Process of registration long but worthwhile. Crashed when trying to upload photo, re-registered and it worked ok without photo. Useful app which maybe needs time to mature. Users should give feedback and I'm sure it will quickly improve. *Update* Updated to latest version but now crashes every time immediately after login. De-Installed and re-installed but no fix.

I like it. Some things to consider. 1.Store the credentials in settings, one should not need to login everytime. 2. Allow for multiple Waypoints. 3. I have an ISA login, and it would not allow me to use the e-mail associated with my ISA account. As I said a great start, well done.

Assumed you can use same password on initial screen and 2nd (registration) screen? Tells me user name already exists! CAn you add some detailed information on how to create the user account and also how to delete an existing user account. Brilliant idea.

Proving impossible to use the app due to persistent crashing during the vehicle registration process. Needs to be rectified before the app is usable.

Great idea, has matured and is very impressive now.
