Comments on Sail Expert: Sailing App for Android

★★★★★ Excellent app. Display is very well-thought-out. The ability to get NMEA data over Wi-Fi (and use it automatically for the log) is most useful. Considering it's free and without annoying ads, I'd give it 6* if I could.
★★★★★ Giving 4 stars at the moment since I haven't started using it on ships yet, soon will be actually using it. Although can't find any maps for South Atlantic region, we'd appreciate if these areas are also included at the earliest. Also, we'd suggest if we get actual maps as we can find on ECDs so that we as Master of the ship can monitor well when off watch. Also for complete ECDs type version with world map folio is added with yearly subscription even that would be handy.
★★★★★ I tested this application in real condition and it works well. There are nevertheless a few points that would need to be added/modified to be fully operational for me: * Should add the notion of reef for sails * Would be nice to be able to set up the sail types for each vessel. Multi mast yachts, with several front sails or several spinners are not rare. * In the narrative section, add "hoisted sails" and "dropped sails' * In the narrative section, add "took reef" and "shook out reef" * In the narrative section again: "started drill" and "stopped drill" (instead of just "drill") * Just a detail: would be convenient for engine rpm field to highlight the previous value so that we just have to type the new one, instead of removing the old one before typing the new. Also, I add problems adding photos because the app couldn't set the GPS position quickly. It took each time up to 1 minute to be allowed to save the picture. It is very strange as GPS was up and position showing ok in normal log section. Maybe the photo feature require a new GPS full acquisition? Also, would be nice to be able to make a donation to help the developer :-) Hope all this information helps
★★★★★ Tried it in my last sailing trip works well
★★☆☆☆ No Australian map downloads could be found 🙃 Seems to have potential, but I've uninstalled it now ...
★★☆☆☆ Great App, but... I like the idea! This app is exactly what I was searching for a long time. However, since my device is not equipped with a magnetic compass the software cannot fill in the COG information which prevents my from saving any log entries. Additionally, the text is very hard to read due to the (beautiful background image). Please fix these bugs and provide a feature to export all log information into a CSV or PDF file....
★★☆☆☆ I am trying to find a simple sailing log book app that has no issues. Maybe it's time I make my own... This app has potential, but for a couple of issues. When the app first opens it makes an annoying sound. Which can't be turned off!!??.. Second issue is the maps are upside down and the compass is completely wrong. I am in Australia and you have me facing south when I should be facing north!.. Uninstalled, sadly, as it has potential.
