Die Liste wurde im August 2016 erstellt. Die Seite wurde zuletzt aktualisiert am: 04.06.2020| # | Feature | Beschreibung | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Database transfer | Restore or move database between devices (e.g. from iPad to iPhone) wireless without iTunes | done - V2.25 |
| 2 | Axis description | Stats graphs need labels on the X and y axes | done - V2.25 |
| 3 | Engine hours | Engine hours for multiple engines | done - V2.25 |
| 4 | Cumulative mileage overall | Cumulative mileage overall, with option to choose starting mileage or 0 | done - V2.25 |
| 5 | Multiple fonts | Offer font choices on PDF output files | done - V2.25 |
| 6 | Track direction | Add a possibility to identify the direction of the track drawn in the map in the exported PDF | done - V2.26 |
| 7 | Map pictures | Add tool to map existing images to an existing logbook | done - V2.26 |
| 8 | Restrict track timely | Track in map shall be optionally restricted to a defineable timeframe instead of showing the whole logbook track | done - V2.26 |
| 9 | Apple Watch | Support for watchOS 3 with complication and without glance | done - V2.26 |
| 10 | Overall mileage | With regard to the log of miles, what would be great is if the app gives you the running total so that you don't have to manually add it together. | done - V2.26 |
| 11 | Autorecording to fixed times | Timely logs to full hours. E.g. all 15 min, all 30 min, all 60 min. but at xx:15, xx:30, xx:00 and not xx:07. | done - V2.26 |
| 12 | Access the address book | When entiring details about the crew it shall be possible to choose people from local address book | done - V2.27 |
| 13 | Geocoding | Possibility to provide improvements to the community for the reverse geocoding feature | done - V2.27 |
| 14 | Timezones | Support for different timezones | done - V2.28 |
| 15 | Daily checks | Add daily checks for battery, bilge, etc. | done - V2.28 |
| 16 | Current | Add possibility to log current | done - V2.28 |
| 17 | Current | Support Current, Course to Steer | done - V2.28 |
| 18 | NMEA | Get data from local NMEA source instead of internet loading | available - V2.30 |
| 19 | Units | Add other less common units like km/h instead of knots. | available - V2.30 |
| 20 | Engine hour clock | A watch for engine hours for the case a vessel has no engine hour clock
Additionally info: Yes the timer would work fine but why can't you have the app add the engine hours automatically after the timer is stopped. This would make it seamless and stop problems where the operator forgets to add it manually. The more automated the better. Info 2: Chip log should log continuous nm traveled, adding to the preset start number, updatable manually if needed. When I start an engine we should be able to designate which one, a timer should start and add to the preset counter until we designate that engine off. Also updatable if we forget to log it on or off. | available - V2.30 |
| 21 | PDF redesign | Redesign PDF export and make it adjustable for future releases | available - V2.30 |
| 22 | Autorecording auto off/on | Option in settings to disable autorecording automatically when switching status to moored or anchor. And vice versa. | done - V2.30 |
| 23 | Engine | Select engine for prefill not only in setting but also in the form where to enter engine hours | done - V2.30 |
| 24 | Multiple tanks/batteries | Add possibility to track not only one battery and one water tank, holding tank, etc. | done - V2.30 |

| 26 | Non sail button | Add a button to settings for non sailing yachts to hide the sail related topics in app | done - V2.32 |
| 27 | GPS track | Record GPS data in background each few meter or foot to show a more detailed track on map. | done - V2.32 |
| 28 | Support more than 3 pictures in PDF | Support more than 3 pictures per day in PDF export | done - V2.32 |
| 29 | Move records | Possibility to move records on the map instead of updating the coordinates | done - V2.36 |
| 30 | Record to map | Possibility to go from a record to the related map part. Vice versa is already possible. | done - V2.36 |
| 31 | Logbook default metadata | Why not have the facility where, as default, the skipper and boat is automatically entered with every new trip. It is a pain and unnecessary to add this every time as I have my own boat and always be the skipper.
+ Crew List section – Have a crew list that can be added to (database), and then when you start the trip, you are able to add crew from the list. That way you would be able to send a Personal Log to each member as well as have the overall Boat Log. Good for people that are new and would like to maintain crew data, for qualifications etc…. Nice memento for guests as well. + Store for the Boats key documents… Insurance, VAT, others etc. Store for the key boat information, like engine type, key serial numbers, hull number, sail number etc. | done - V2.36 |
| 32 | Enter coordinates with NumPad | Alternative to enter coordinates with NumPad keyboard instead of number picker view.
+ Things such as not being able to tell what year you are in the time/date selector. Correcting/adding to an old trip with info that you forgot is very difficult. | done - V2.36 |
| 33 | Chose Engine | For switching to status engine it is already (optionally) possible to select the engines each time. This should be possible when switching tow motor-sailing as well. | done - V2.36 |
| 34 | Map filter | Show the date/time in the filter view and not just the amount of records. | done - V2.38 |
| 35 | Import / export | Possibility to add logbook to the existing database when importing (instead of replacing the complete database) | done - V2.38 |
| 36 | Retrospectively change engine | Changing the logbook in this way only works if you have one engine, and as a Catamaran we have two! For example, if the wind dies and we turn on the port engine to keep our speed up, but forget to change the logbook, we can amend the records to show we were motor sailing, but we can’t tell Logbook which engine we were using. Can you please therefore include an window which asks which engine is in use when you change the status to Motoring or Motor Sailing? | open |
| 37 | E-engine | E-engine support like battery capacity etc. | open |
| 38 | Fuel | Show fuel in percentage OR liter/gallons/etc
+ Fuel Usage calculation. Lt/hour set in the settings and then tank reduces over time while engines running. | open |
| 39 | New state | What about two more status options (for motor and sail): A) Adrift (under way but not making way, no engine, no sail, not moored, not anchored, not aground ;) I do this a lot. Heading out in the open gulf for some miles, switch off the engine and relax in the sun while being “Adrift”. Fisherman do it as well. B) Aground / Beached “Aground“ to meet the ColRegs and for a bit of fun. “Beaching” is popular with power boaters. | open |
| 40 | Gert Coester | ||

| 64 | Track color based on status | Alternatively color the track log on map view not based on speed but on the state (engine, sail, ...) | open |
| 65 | Days run | Stats are noon-to-noon, not midnight to midnight. For example it is common practice to keep a record of noon-to-noon 24-hour run. Possibility to have this option in settings, either calendar day (as now) or noon-to-noon. | open |

| 78 | Font size | Make font size adjustable with the iOS wide font size setting | open |
| 79 | Packing list | Possibility to send packing list | open |
| 80 | Shopping list | Next to packing list and safety list, add also a shopping list | open |

| 82 | Daily chores adjustable | Make daily chores adjustable | open |
| 83 | MOB | Option to initiate MOB from Watch including re routing to MOB position | open |
| 84 | Copy Paste Record | I often forget to start the log until I am underway and would like the ability to go back to the last entry and make a copy of this so I can just change the date and time and the position will stay where I was so I don't need to change that. | open |
| 85 | Free text space | ...at the end of the logbook some free pages, for free text, maintenance stuff and so on | open |

| 90 | PDF Export | Option to exclude images from PDF export to reduce file size | open |
| 91 | PDF Export | It should be possible to export the PDF also without internet, even if maps are not embedded in this case. | open |
| 92 | Languages | The default language is the one chosen in IOS, however it is possible to override this with english language but not with the others (German, French, Spanish, etc.) This should be also possible | open |
| 93 | Apple Watch | It would be really great to be able to configure the companion app on the watch to show data you might like? Eg I would probably get rid of the temp (as it’s not really useful and I don’t have the sensors on the boat anyway) and replace it with NMEA depth, which would be amazing while anchoring as I. | open |
| 94 | Statistics movement distance moored | Hours moored is largely irrelevant to most people as it’s usually when the boat is on its home birth. Ideas: Have a moored and home state and/or have the ability to toggle moored or home on and off in the stats.... Reason being that for most boaters the moored is going to be a huge number compared to the others which makes the graphs sort of pointless as you only see moored as 99% of the donut. | open |
| 95 | Rezension AppStore | ||
| 96 | Wind history | Graphical chart of wind history during the day | open |
| 97 | Additional fields in Export | Add the following data, at least in CSV export and ideally in PDF report : Apparent Wind Speed (AWS), Apparent Wind Angle (AWA), Speed Over Water (STW?), Cape Over Water (CTW?) NB: Speed Over Water is important when combined with True Wind Speed to build the polar data of the sailboat or to compare with polar reference data. | open |
| 98 | Apple Pencil | Support for Apple Pencil in a record. | open |
| 99 | Photo of ship | Possibility to add a picture of your ship to the front-page of the exported PDF | open |
| 100 | Overview in statistics | there is a big white field just about every date. There you could offer further information, such as Destination port, total distance of the day. So you can see immediately when the trip to WarnemĂĽnde was and click again to get details. That would probably be easy to implement and very useful for owners. | open |
| 101 | Search | Possibility to search a record based on the content n the free text field or position description. | Open |
| 102 | iCloud | Support for database in iCloud | cancelled - see here |
| 103 | Interface color | Invert colors To. use a white on black interface. Easier to read in sunlight .... and at night it s not so glaring | Possible with iOS11 |
