HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (2.4 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Don’t Waste Your Money!

Just bought this and within minutes realized I wasted my money. Found incorrect and incomplete info. Very hard to work. Referenced illustration that wasn’t there. Been sailing for almost 50 years and spent 30 years Active Duty Navy. Retired USN Captain.

★★★★★Jan 17, 2018
Outstanding reference guide!

I’ve had this little book for about 15 years now, and while it may have been updated to reflect current technology, the basics will pretty much always be there. I’ve done a fair bit of offshore sailing and (you may think this weird), I read various sections of the book regularly as a way to pass time. E.g, the section on clouds - I can never remember the names of the various clouds - we’ll, there they are! I can’t speak highly enough or this reference. Thanks to the author!! I just bought this on-line version for my iPhone. There it is on the screen now. Also, if you’ve never seen or bought Grog’s knots - do so. Fabulously easy to fathom how to tie knots. Well done!
