I have a fair number of Navigation and Charting apps on my mobile device. I also have wind forecasts, weather forecasting, buoy readings, tidal prediction, port descriptions and a to-do listing app for my iOS.
What non-Nav boating applications do you have and regularly use?

My best is Metaltoolbox, paid version, it combines level, ruler, protractor and a couple of less useful items. 1Password for secure password management and MyScriptCalculator, hand writing input for basic to some algebraic functions, best on a tablet. I'm on IOS.

Plenty of apps but I concentrate on Apps related to sailing and practically everything has a Navigation aspect.

Sailing related:
Active Captain, Tide App, SailFlow, Google Sky Map, Marine Traffic, AB Compass Bearing

Non-Sailing related:
Instant Heart Rate, Life 360, Magnify, QuickMark, Tape a Talk, Total Connect 1 & 2,

Many more not listed because either everyone has them or because I'm too lazy to uninstall them.

Tide App (android) works great.

John,
I have something called TideApp on my iPhone and I created a bookmark for the NOAA's TidesAndCurrents website for a station near the marina. For the former, I have ten favorites across Long Island Sound. For the latter I enter the date and number of days and it produces a (more less) sine wave chart with tide heights, times and days. Nothing fancy but usable.

One of my favs for the boat is the PodCast app. I've downloaded dozens of music and talk shows. "Serial" seems to be hot now.

I've found that Numbers (like MS Excel) and OneNote are handy for making to-do lists, checklists for pre-trip supplies and preps and logs of trips with pictures, sound recordings (Voice Overs) and videos.

One that I use is called "Boating List", app a pre-trip check list including planning, general, hull, deck, fittings, safety, below deck, electrical system and components, recommended equipment, head system, water system, galley, outboard, trailer, sails, mast and rigging, clothes, toiletries, electronics, documents, medication/first aid, cooking/food, fishing, before leaving, toolset,

We're up to 351 reminder and check list items. It has the capability by adding or deleting to fully personalize your list or make separate specific lists for any purpose, trip or cruise

I tried OneNote but ended up liking Evernote better (free version). It's great to be able to make to do lists, etc. on the computer or phone. I suggest trying both then picking the one you like best.
