Marine Rules & Signals for Negative User Reviews
✓ Marine Rules & SignalsRip off! could be so much better, e.g. be able to test yourself like flash cards. Wish I'd taken more notice of the other reviewers before paying for this, it's the equivalent of a six page pamphlet when you are expecting a book..Version: 0
✓ MrVery good app have been using it to learn buoyage and the rules would be better if it had tester and also morse code in separate..Version: 1.5
✓ Severly lackingThis app is lacking some of the most important rules and the user interface is confusing and not well thought out I hope to see an update for this app soon because as it stands now it is not worth the money by far this version should be free considering the amount of information it has..Version: 0
✓ What a wasteDon't waste your money very limited and serves no real use.Version: 0
✓ Lack of informationIt needs more information. Doesn't have what I expected it to. Update maybe ?.Version: 1.9
✓ DisappointedVery 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..Version: 0
✓ Rules & signalsHave found this app very useful, however, it keeps locking up and twice I've had to uninstall then reinstall. Won't do it again unless I can find a freeby.Version: 1.8
✓ Constructive criticism.Delightful little app that may become a really useful learning tool for people travelling etc. (Fog signals might annoy the people sat next to you though). However there are one or 2 technical errors to be corrected. I thought people who published things like this were bombarded with corrections from "nurds" as soon as they published but these slipped through the net! We have e mailed the details to the publisher. More updates before 5 stars...Version: 0
✓ Not there yet.Getting better, the new update has some good inprovements. Still could do with more info for more stars!.Version: 0
✓ Not badIt only has very basic info included so only useful to an absolute novice. The descriptions for things like overtaking etc are very rushed and only have a few word, it would be good if all descriptions were padded out with more info. Not a bad app but would have expected more for the price..Version: 0
✓ Not supportedForget this - will soon not work as not IOS11 compatible.Version: 2.10
✓ Be waryAlthough most of the content is correct there are serious errors, such as the amendments to COLREG Annex IV that have not been included yet.....too long since they became law. The International Code of Signals definitions for the flags are incorrect, for example the Bravo flag does not mean simply "dangerous cargo" Imray, please sort it out, you are meant to be a respected organisation, shame on you. To all studying for CoC's please be careful, use the correct definitions in Orals..Version: 1.6
✓ Irritating attitude to older platformsI have just reset my iPhone 3G and updated apps only to find that the current version of this app only runs on iPhone 5. What do Imray presume that the many users of older phones are going to do? It would be useful to be able to access the older versions. If I could award zero stars I would!.Version: 1.9
✓ Well, OK I suppose!Whilst there is certainly much information presented through this app, overall the diagrams are really disappointing! The app simply fails to make use of screen real estate available on iPads. Hopefully, this will be addressed in a future version!.Version: 1.8
✓ Not updated.Considering the price of this app I was surprised to get a message flag up about it which said the application will not be compatible with future versions of IOS and may slow down my phone unless the developer updates the software..Version: 2.10
✓ Not supportedAgreed with below, needs upgrading or will slow down phone..Version: 2.10
✓ Not worth it - Rules are not nearly as concise as they need to beI am a naval navigator and noticed that there are many mistakes in this program. Unfortunately the rules are written by a bunch of lawyers so as the average sailor can't break the code easily. With this in mind it is very important to understand the rules VERY concisely which this program does an exceptionally poor job. As an addendum to my previous comments above, please note things precisely whereby a vessel is not over 50m by virtue of the lights it shows, it actually mean that the vessel is "possibly over 50m" these kind of elementary mistakes on the rules are not excused until fixed - please fix them, or at least get a proper interpreter of the rules before release of your next version..Version: 0
✓ An Idiots ReferenceDon't buy this app or download it. If you should find yourself on a vessel and you cannot remember the rules of the road then jump off and start swimming. This app gives you a brief, very brief and therefore not complete COLREGS. There are better apps out there..Version: 1.8
✓ An excellent app with some missed opportunitiesThis is a very neat and useful app. It seems a pity that it doesn't stretch to comprehensive cover of the colregs though. The less well known lights such as fishing vessels shooting nets could easily be covered in an extension section. In the learning section the self test function showing lights in the dark is clearly a lazy effort. The lights are just taken direct from the teaching examples, so for instance, for a single white light an answer is given of 'power vessel more than 50m in length from astern' because that is the blacked out example in use. In fact it could be a vessel of any length from astern, a vessel less than 7m, a small vessel at anchor, etc etc. if the effort was made to write a bit more code it could be a brilliant tool..Version: 2.0
✓ Very useful for teachingI'm an RYA instructor and this app. Has prooved itself to be extremely useful whilst teaching..Version: 0
✓ PrimitiveDoes not take advantage of iPhone's or other interactive features; simply reproducton of printed book - terribly disappointed.Version: 0
✓ Good startI would like suggest that you put in a zoom function very hard to read the small print horn and gongs would be good to have sound good start though.Version: 0
✓ MikeWhilst all the information is there, I was Disappointed at the very basic presentation. I felt it could have been done in app form with a lot more imagination and flair..Version: 1.8
✓ Good content, difficult to navigateWhilst the information is accurate and detailed, the layout is a bit haphazard. Perhaps I'm not the target user for this app: I don't use this while navigating, I just thought it might make a suitable replacement for various reference books. It does, to an extent, but it's not complete enough for me. Why are some Rules present and others not? It just feels like an introduction to lights and signals, and I can't help but feel that something's missing..Version: 0
✓ UpdatePlease update !.Version: 2.10
✓ Good but...Agree with other reviews. Not a great deal for the money, I took about five minutes to read all the information contained in this app. I agree that Imray could have done more with the iPhone software, sound signals, flashing beacons etc. They did try with the harbour entrance page, this is the sort of thing the app should be full of. Rather expensive for what you get..Version: 0
✓ Alright but could be slickerAll the information you might expect from this app is there, it's just not very slick..Version: 0
✓ Rule of the RoadEasy to use basic program. A testing function would be a great addition.Version: 0
✓ Like it. Could you add a zoom function.Very well thought out app. I think a zoom (pinch) function would be very useful when viewing some of the map graphics - for the 40+ the writing is getting pretty small. Thanks..Version: 0
✓ Marine Rules & SignalsVery little information in this app. I hope a future update will correct this. Not worth .99 cents as it is!.Version: 0
✓ Not worth the money!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..Version: 0
✓ Lights and signalsThere are some massive mistakes in this ,east cardinal marks that flash 7 green lights that are supposed to be port nav lights,great app for learning ,but I expected more than these silly mistakes.Version: 1.8
✓ Basic but goodBasically it's a good app, could be a little more in depth..Version: 0
✓ What a wasteDon't waste your money very limited and serves no real use.Version: 0
✓ Sounds don’t playHappy with this app except sounds do not play at all? I’ve checked settings & reloaded app but still do not work, which is a pain..Version: 3.2
✓ RipoffYeah, 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..Version: 0
✓ Not enough detailI agree with the first review, I purchased this thinking it would give a lot more info, it is informative but very basic. I expected items such as cardinal marker identification in fog or at night, to illustrate flashing sequences, or a more interactive movement of vessels to show right of way / stand on vessels. As the previous person said, not worth the money & needs a lot more work. The RYA have a CD rom showing col regs, which I believe is free, which is far superior to this. In truth this should be a free app in its current form..Version: 0
✓ Marine Rules and SignalsThis is at best a $.99 app. The most ripped off of any App I've ever purchased..Version: 0
