Barely functional. User interface is really rough. Looks like the very first app someone has ever built. Input fields lose values previously entered as you navigate around. Not intuitive. Also the moon phases feature gives completely wrong data for March 2021. Update 12 Aug 2021: Moon phases appear fixed. However the celestial fix DR position form now has a bug where I cannot change the Height of Eye from 20m - no matter what I input for that field it just saves 20m.
Waste of money the app suddenly shuts off
Good app to have for a navigator.....
I'd like to request a refund. I compared its findings with other apps that we use onboard and it was way off.
Have some issues regarding rhumbline navigation, i tried computing from 36S, 005E to 36S, 028E and it show "same position!" with a GCCo of 096.8 & GCD1113.8'.
Great App
