Boat Beacon Customer Insights

1. Thanks to Steve.Both the team and the application are great, I have been using it for a year as my ais device on my boat changed mobile device and stopped working as expected, the development team assisted in a very professional manner and helped me find the problem and provided a solution... Free of charge... I can't ask for a better service thank you, all the team, Justin from GibraltarThe app worked fine until it didn't.

2. Still working on old Android tablet.This app is fantastic! I recently used it coming from Freeport,Tx to Kemah via the ICW , Causeway bridge, Galveston Bay and the Houston ship Channel.

3. So, If I understand well, the current version DO NOT enable Collision detection without internet transmisting own position to your net, isn't it? >>> 2, If I try switch "Onboard" without PERMANENT use Background location, this function is refused.

4. Aftersales support would be the envy of many businesses! The live AIS feature seams effortlessly with Marine Navigator and the whole system seems a far cheaper solution to AIS.

5. They tell me it is the gps settings but gps works fine with navionics , Google maps and live ships.

6. This problem has persisted for months and the developer hasn't been able to resolve it.It didn't work on my Lenovo tablet.

7. >>> 1, Unlike the User guide in the application, which says about "Location sharing enabling" (in describing "Onboard" button), I couldn't find this switch anywhere.

8. There was no explanation as to why or what to do to get it to start working again! Tried uninstall/install but still not working! I'm using a galaxy 10se.

9. The app is my daily driver and have my ais-catcher decoder linked to it as well through various receivers .The app is decent for its simplicity and the ability to share from/to multiple devices is excellent.

10. I'm enthusiastic by this, by possibility increase safety on small yacht without MMSI! However, I'm usually a bit strict on applications that collect more personal data than necessary.

11. Using the same account, when I install the app on the new phone, I can't get live view.
