Ratings and Reviews

It's not all there...

In the description it clearly says that ALL the rules are listed in the Colregs section, this is not the case.

Only rules 20 to 31 are listed.

I will not delete this app in the hope that the next update completes the Colregs section, including the annexes, which is the only reason I bought it.

Otherwise, the app is great.

Sensible application

So far it is the most sensible application on ColRegs (I tried using Rules of the Road and Flash Marine also).
You can skip description text, you can read text. No stupid connections with Game Center, takes a couple of seconds before you can start reading, but that's reasonable.

Has potential!

I found this app to be ok but with a little bit of work it has the potential to be really useful. A few of the answers in the test yourself section are too brief and actually a bit wrong. Could also do with shuffling around the questions and giving you a score at the end of it! Hoping for an update soon.....
