## Description

The official US Coast Guard Boating Safety App provides recreational boaters with 24/7 access to essential information and resources. Learn state boating laws, request vessel safety checks through the Coast Guard Auxiliary, determine legally required safety equipment, and even draft a float plan with friends or family.

This self-contained mobile tool also offers quick access to navigation rules, NOAA weather from the nearest buoy, and easy reporting of navigational hazards, pollution, or suspicious activity. It is not a replacement for a VHF radio, safety classes, or common sense; your data is shared with the Coast Guard only if you choose to provide it.

## Review summary

The app offers essential safety tools like float plans, vessel checks, NOAA buoy data, and storing vessel information, but is hampered by crashes, UI bugs that block saving/editing, outdated maintenance, and confusing navigation. These issues reduce reliability in emergencies, though the core features could be lifesaving when fixed.

### Pros

- Float plan filing with the USCG
- Vessel Safety Check checklist
- NOAA buoy locations/data (buoy finder)
- Storing vessel information for emergency reporting
- Access to safety resources (NAV rules, weather)

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability, especially with location services or NOAA buoy features
- Inability to save/edit vessel or profile due to UI/UX bugs (save button blocked, emergency button covering save)
- App appears outdated and poorly maintained (last update years ago)
- Navigation/UX issues: links not working, can't return to home, login required to use features
- Accessibility/compatibility issues (poor VoiceOver support; not working on older devices/OS)
