Boating Apps

[gswearin]

Hi All,
Patrick's new app got me wondering what apps folks use and find helpful. My list is below.
I look forward to any suggestions.

*Navionics
Compass app
Garmin Active Captain
Anchor! Anchor alarm

Weather underground
*Marine Weather
Barometer
*Windy (tried PredictWind but didn’t seem better)
*AyeTides XL (ipad version)
*Tides Near Me
Tide Charts

CBP Roam
USGC app
Dock Wa, Snag-a-Slip, Swift Harbour: (marina reservations–they all have different marina’s signed up)
Pumpout Nav
Marine Traffic (tracks AIS)
Fish Washington--fishing regulations
Knots 3D
*= use every trip

lot of crossover, some new ones. thanks! I haven't seen many of the marina reservation ones as I mostly use SYC outstations, so good to know about those as backup. I mostly check the weather / wind / tides before I head out and then use my garmin screens in the boat. I try not to use the phone much while under way, too distracting.

If you're heading north into BC, you need ArriveCAN.

My list of app's that I use on my iPhone. I use nearly each of these app's every trip.

Navionics (planning trips)
AyeTides (Tides and currents)

Windy (wind forecast up to 3 days out)
Outcast (Marine weather forecast)
Marine Weather (for Small Craft Advisories and alerts)
Marine Traffic (AIS)
Vessel Finder (AIS)

Active Captain (Garmin screen capture and software upgrades)
Watchmate (Vesper AIS)
Anchor Pro (anchor drag alarm)
FusionLink (for controlling the stereo via bluetooth)
Victron Connect (power management)

OpenSignal (LTE/WIFI benchmark app)
InControl (Pepwave LTE Router control)
GoPro Quik (controlling GoPro camera's remotely)
Dock WA (marina reservations)

Someday soon, I hope to also use CBP Roam and ArriveCan.

I use most of the apps mentioned, plus Nebo as a ships log any thins the boat moves on the water. It runs on the same spare iPhone that I use for the Victron app.

Aqua Maps and Navionics Boating apps for planning (aqua maps has the most current USACE surveys).

Predictwind and windy for weather

Giving that pump out app a look-I had not heard of that one! Thanks!
