This logbook app was developed by sailors for sailors, but also powerboaters will get their money's worth.

NOTE: Please note the following if you have enabled automatic logging in the background (indicated by the blue frame in the app): Continued use of GPS in the background can drastically reduce battery life. In our experience, however, a full day of sailing can be done with it, nevertheless don't forget the 12V charging cable ;-) SUPPORT This app is chargeable, so I take it with the support also very seriously!
