User Reviews

Sail Expert is a promising sailing app favored for its NMEA data support, automatic logging, and clean design. However, users face issues with unclear subscription policies, map/chart management problems, syncing deficiencies, constant location permission requests, and occasional app freezes during use. Despite these cons, the developers are responsive, and many users find it highly useful for serious seamanship.

Pros

Provides real-time sailing information and supports NMEA data integration for detailed monitoring.
Offers automatic logging features, including anchor alarms and maintenance logs, appreciated by experienced sailors.
Well-designed and functional user interface that is easy to use and configure.
Free version is ad-free, and developers are responsive and active in improving the app.
Supports chart downloads and can function as a chartplotter with external AIS/GPS devices.

Cons

Requires subscription for full functionality, which is not clearly communicated upfront, causing confusion and unexpected charges.
Issues with map/chart downloads and display, including charts sometimes not showing until reinstalling the app.
Syncing problems between devices, such as incomplete data synchronization.
App requires location permissions all the time, raising privacy concerns, especially when app is closed.
The app can become unstable or freeze during voyages, leading to loss of log entries and usability issues.

Recent reviews

I use 2'nd grade mobile devices on the boat. To be able to use an app I need it to run from sd card as the devices always are limited on internal space. This app does not allow this and is therefore unusable to me. My guess is that many sailors using apps like this are in the same situation.

I can not login with my google account, the apps says that it doesn't comply googles secure browser policy. In between I found a solution. I had to change the language of my phone to english and it works. Please check it on your side why it doesn't work in hungarian.
