Not the one

Keep looking, not a user friendly interface, not a great learning tool. Not worth the money, buyer’s remorse. I got the 3 app bundle and all 3 have the same terrible format.

Has Potential

Has a lot of potential to be a great app. As of this review, the application is rules 1-4, 20-31 of Navigation Rules and Regulations, and a short quiz. You can buy the whole book for $9.50 on Amazon (rules 1-38, Annex’s, and 50 pages of additional information). The book only has pictures in black and white, so the examples in the book are not very useful. I purchased this app hoping there would be colored pictures If the developers of this app provide colored examples I would recommend this app to others. Unfortunately, there are NO pictures. If the app ever adds pictures examples of the lights in color, it will be worth it.

Has Errors

I found at least one error in one of the test questions. I don't want to use an app that is going to sabotage me. Test Yourself Q7, the correct answer should be "NOT making way NUC" but "Making way NUC" is listed as the correct answer. Not reliable.

Great - wish I’d found this before

Comprehensive info on navlights and day shapes with a really useful test section. Covers a lot, and has very clear diagrams of how the lights will look, as well as the written official regs. A good purchase.

Recommended, good app

This was recommended by the instructor at my local sail school. There’s a lot of useful stuff here and it’s well presented. A good way to learn the Colregs and keep them on your ‘phone for when you need to check.

Professionally done, with good clear info.

Easy and intuitive to navigate and use, and what's more the graphics are the best I've seen in similar apps. I saw it had good reviews from others and wasn't disappointed when I downloaded. A great app for anyone going out on the water, and anyone learning for exams.
