Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
- Fixed a rare crash while connecting to the NMEA source (TCP and UDP): an internal timer was occasionally invalidated from a background thread even though it had been created on the main thread. - A frozen GPS position, where the fused position can get stuck while under way is now detected faster and shown in the status line instead of leaving the position silently standing still. - Added a new optional setting "Fall back to device GPS if NMEA is lost": while NMEA is selected as the position source, the app now automatically falls back to the device's internal GPS if no NMEA position has arrived for a while, and automatically returns to NMEA as soon as it's available again — without changing your selected source. - Raised the minimum required iOS version to 15 for technical reasons - Fixed a rare crash in AIS processing that could occur while new AIS targets kept arriving. - The lost-NMEA-connection warning is now only shown while under way, not while the boat is moored. - On devices running iOS 27, location updates now use the activity type added specifically for boats, improving GPS accuracy and reducing incorrect position jumps. - Fixed the map screen's toolbar buttons not all fitting on screen on iOS 27, with some becoming inaccessible.

About
Skippers Log is your digital logbook for your yacht. Everything you can do in a good old fashioned paper logbook you can do here: - Create multiple trips for multiple ships - Record daily navigational data and weather observations - Include navigational live data from a wireless NMEA server - Automatic log entries based on the specifications you make (course change, wind change, ...) - Plot your trip on Apple map or Navionics map (active Navionics subscription required) - Print your trip with maps as a PDF - Create crew lists and print them - AIS targets shown on map (data from AIS receiver required) - Synchronize between you devices through iCloud - Display various data fields from NMEA data as overlay on your map - Fuel, water, cooking gas and outboard fuel consumption can be recorded - Take and add pictures to any day in the logbook (Premium version only) - Automatic geotag your position like e.g. "1.6 nm NW of Cape Finisterre" - Automatic download GMDSS and DWD weather forecasts (Euriope only, premium only) - Handling daily checklist (premium only) The free version of this app is limited to 1 ship, 1 trip and 40 manual log entries. Enough for a one or two week charter trip. No NMEA data are processed in the free app. In app purchase for the premium version and a 14-day free trial of the premium version. Please note, that the app will principally run on WiFi only iPads, but it is quite limited on these devices. Even if you use NMEA as your location source, automatic logging and track recording will likely reliably only happen while the app is in the foreground. You can still do manual entries, of course. To unleash the full potential you need a device with a gps receiver. Icons by Icons8
