Reviews
A great tool

Ignore the other reviewers, I’m guessing they didn’t look before they bought and now they’re peeved. There are many other applications to get in depth Collision Regulations , but at that point you may as well get a book (iBooks has some good interactive ones.) This app is a quick study guide that I like to let my students use when studying advanced cruising. It serves as a helpful reminder, that clears up the cluttered mess of other apps, since everything is organized well. I like to use it for morse code as well, but the flash cards are a great way to teach anything from ColRegs to semaphore. There are ways it could be improved, but it does not merit such low reviews.
Needs work

Thought this would be the one that quizzes you with the actual questions on the CG exam; instead it’s just and electronic version of the navigation rules. One problem I found was it does not specify whether a rule is ‘inland’ or ‘international’.
Handy
Mgdurand
Just what I needed as a recreational sailor/cruiser to keep current on the forgettable details of mute seagoing communications. Very handy to have on the iPhone. Uncluttered and accessable program without over-ambitious (cumbersome) menu navigation.
Disappointed
karenbob
Very simplistic and hard to view images since you can't enlarge them. Extremely disappointed for the price. Wouldn't recommend. Spend the money to buy a book on the topic.
Not worth the money!
Capt Jackie
This app is totally overpriced. It should be free. Info is very simplistic and general info that every boater should already know. Def not a good reference unless you are just looking up flag signals.
Ripoff
Chadwick, SD, Ca.
Yeah, I agree with capt Jack here. This by no means is worth what you are paying for here. I expected more. This at best would have been a beginners boating .99 app.
Primitive
sdhablutzel
does not take advantage of iPhone's or other interactive features; simply reproducton of printed book - terribly disappointed
Marine Rules and Signals

This is at best a $.99 app. The most ripped off of any App I've ever purchased.
Good for training
Marispotens1
It's a good app. I am in the coast guard and it's good review and good for teaching new younger seaman. Just be aware that nav rules do change and you must keep updated yourself.
Getting my Captain

So far it looks really good. It nice to have this app so I can study for my captain's license.
