Review summary

Users appreciate the app as a valuable navigation aid that saves time and works well especially with a nautical almanac app. However, multiple reviews mention issues such as absence of time input for sights, data loss when rotating the screen, and difficulties with data entry including negative instrument corrections. Improving the interface and adding time specification would enhance usability.

Pros

Great reference material for sight reduction and navigation calculations.
Saves significant time and effort compared to manual paper methods.
Works well when used in conjunction with a nautical almanac app.
Helpful for quick plotting of fixes and verifying navigational work.
Provides a reliable backup to GPS navigation.

Cons

Lacks time specification for each sight, limiting navigation accuracy.
Data entry interface is cumbersome and could be improved.
App loses previous Line of Position (LOP) data when device orientation changes.
Difficulty entering negative instrument correction values, requiring workarounds.
