| 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 |

| 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. And individual location formats. e.g. dd° mm sss instead of dd° mm.mmm | 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 |

| 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. | in beta release |
