I Pad Boat Log

[Paul & Julia]

Hi all

 

Does anybody have a lead on any ipad compatible boat logs for recording trips, maintenance, expenses etc.

 

 

Thanks

I don't know if there is one that combines all those functions. But I've manually recorded trips on Waterxplorer.

You'd be just as well off with a free spreadsheet app such as this: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ispreadsheet-free-mobile-spreadsheet/id306226132?mt=8

 

I've not used it, just did a quick search for free spreadsheet app

Thanks for your prompt replies Caprifool & Psycloud. With your info I will take a look and hopefully will sort an acceptable recording table/log.

 

Have a good year chaps

 

Thanks

Paul

I have something called boat manager on my iPad. I've not used it so cant say but It seems to fit your ask.

I use a couple of very useful apps for iPad and iPhone.

 

One is called 'Boating Suite' on which you can record various items such as fuel consumption, maintenance records, 'to do' list, log book, shopping lists etc. Its primarily designed for the American market, but it doesn't make it any less useful.

 

The other is called 'What's on my Boat' which, if you are like me, you can never remember just exactly where did you stow that rarely used, but occasionally essential bit if kit. You can even attach a pic of the item to remind you what it looks like!

 

Another couple of useful apps are 'antenna aligner' which will give you the bearing, distance, polarity and signal strength of the nearest TV transmitters. Useful if you have a directional 'log periodic' type of TV aerial.

For Sat users, the other being 'Dish Aligner' which will give you the direction of your satellite to help orientate your dish.

 

All are available free from the iTunes App Store.

We are currently using Ships Log by Mercury Marine. Again aimed at the American market but transfers well for our use.

 

Avaliable as a free app.

Great response team. Thanks for all your interest and associated leads.

Are there any apps suitable for Android devices

Not sure, as I don't have any Android devices.

 

You could always search the Android App Store using the same names as the iTunes App Store.

There is Boat Logger which may or may not do what you want:

That's the free version, there is a paid-for one for £1.81.

Boat manager, as above, is a fantastic app. You can record your position, with photo if wanted, Admin info, running costs, with lots of analysis, reminders and as many lists as you want. You can try a limited version free but ignore the example already included and enter your own details.Only for iphone and ipad.
