Ratings and Reviews
It’s great
I’m brand new to sailing so I can’t make recommendations based on any real comparison or across large areas.
That said for my situation Savvy Navvy has been just perfect.
I can pre plan routs and find my way back to the buoy systems using GPS. I agree that is is just like google maps for the sea.
I am currently only sailing close to the shore, around Conwy bay, Anglesey and Beaumaris. Without this app there is no way I could have navigated this area so quickly.
I do also have the navionics which in my opinion is not as good for preplanning but the Charts on navionics are arguably a bit easier to read when at sea, due to simpler, chunkier graphics.
Not quite as good as it first might seem
The potential for Savvy Navv as a passage planning tool is considerable. It’s drawbacks are that it simply does not (yet) have all the information needed for its use as an onboard navigation app. There is, for example, no facility to view light or mark characteristics, and no tidal height information, or means of plotting position lines that are not part of a route.
Given, therefore, that other apps will be required if navigation is being done electronically, Savvy Navvy is not a complete solution. You will still need a tidal height almanac a nautical almanac and a plotter app. That would be fine other than the pricing of Savvy Navvy being pitched as if it does the lot. Nearly £100 just for an offline passage planner is just too much. And as the Basic Plan relies on constant connectivity, that’s not much use either despite its lower cost.
In summary, a good idea, bags of potential but not yet either complete or realistically priced. Really responsive support though and really nice visuals etc. I wish them well but it is not right for me or responsible navigators looking for a complete package (yet).
Love the idea - needs polishing
I so want to love this app. I use Navionics Boating as well, which is polished and does what it says. Savvy Navvy's tides and wind is fantastic when it works. The tides seem to be running in the wrong direction at times? But it's the recording bit which seems problematic. For me it struggled at times, completely failing to record whole trips. I kept re-starting the 'record' but this seemed pointless after it stopped the first time. I also want it - please - to allow me to run through the journey afterwards, so I can see speeds and times etc. Meanwihile my iPad down below on 'Boating', just recorded the whole thing every time. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and hope things will improve. I know I have had a bit of a moan here, but I do really like it and the planning aspect is great. I'm hoping it's just needing a 'polish'.
