Skipper is a modern iOS app that allows you to automate your marine logbook, keep a permanent record of your sailing or boating activity and share your coastal cruises with your friends and family.
- Keep track of your records: maximal trip duration, longest trip distance or top speed.
- See detailed stats around your trips: total number of navigations, average speed, total sailed distance, and total navigated duration.
- See trip data like elapsed time, trip distance, current course and speed.
- No additional sensor needed, just grab your device and embark! However, Skipper cannot be used as replacement for Automatic Identification System (AIS).
The user friendly design is super intuitive: Skipper is simple enough to be used by amateurs, yet powerful enough to be used by professional skippers in conjunction with boat instruments.
- Automatically and securely store all your trips so you can access your entire sailing & boating history from your device.
- Show friends and family where you’ve been by sharing your trips on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, email or text message.
- Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease your device’s battery life: it is recommend to connect the device to a power outlet.
- Export your adventures as GPX or KML files for quick importing in other applications (Google Earth & Google Maps for example).
Handy if you are already using another application to record all your activities and if you don't want to lose your navigation history.
- Autostart recording on movement (when your current speed is above a minimum specified speed).
- Monitor your nautical activities in real-time with your iPhone or iPad’s GPS, even when you’re offline.
- Track your exact position with built-in maps (provided by Apple).
