Paul & Julia Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi all Does anybody have a lead on any ipad compatible boat logs for recording trips, maintenance, expenses etc. Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caprifool Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I don't know if there is one that combines all those functions. But I've manually recorded trips on Waterxplorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycloud Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul & Julia Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I have something called boat manager on my iPad. I've not used it so cant say but It seems to fit your ask. www.kiwiobjects.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 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. Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty Cal Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 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. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willber G Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Are there any apps suitable for Android devices There is Boat Logger which may or may not do what you want: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.starsight.boatlogger That's the free version, there is a paid-for one for £1.81.

Alanji Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
