As the adventurous user it’s your job to exercise common sense and the best navigational judgement you can muster up. Although we think the WatchMate app is awesome nothing beats using all your human senses, so rely on these as much as you rely on the WatchMate app for making navigational safety decisions. Our advice is; even with the WatchMate app it’s still a clever idea to maintain a permanent watch and use more than one aid for navigation.

Comments on WatchMate for Android

★★★★★ A Google User · Dec 13, 2014

Excellent App to partner with excellent hardware All worked first time. It would just be helpful to have a CPA and anchor alarm function for the XB-800. This would be perfect for added backup when at anchor. In any event many thanks for the APP

★★★★★ Richard Sutton · Aug 18, 2015

Works perfectly with the XB8000 and is clearer and easier to use than any of the other Wi-Fi AIS apps I have installed over the last couple of years. Once you have tried the VM app you will not use any other.

★★★★★ A Google user · Aug 6, 2017

Great app, great support, and little did I know when buying the Watch Mate Vision AIS that I'd also end up, as a great big bonus, with the best ⚓ watch ever.

★☆☆☆☆ Bradley Flowers · Jun 19, 2023

Not possible to remotely monitor AIs or nema 2000 data. Don't waste money on the xb 800 it can only LOCALLY monitor your AIs and nema data. If you have any need to remotely monitor your vessel info this will not work. Just buy the vesper cortex don't be an idiot like me.

★☆☆☆☆ Rudy Kruger · Nov 30, 2019

Come on Vesper, your Android app is terrible compared to your IOS app. A simple example is firmware updates. The Android app gives no feedback about install status and even if the current firmware is up-to-date. Just a big red "Update" button that looks like it does nothing when you press it. It's almost like a professional developer worked on IOS and the Android app was a "Learn to Program 101" project.
