I was just wondering what APPS everyone uses for their smartphones when out at sea. I know I like my Marine Traffic and Aye Tides but was wondering what you like?

Thankfully never had to use them but for iOS devices there’s a Ship Captain’s Medical Guide and JMS published the US Navy Salvage Handbook. Interesting reading anyways.

I’m kind of interrested to see what pops up as well.

I use one called Radar Now, for a real time radar weather picture, also Tide Predictor, for the obvious use, and Google Sky, just cause it’s cool.
