Saw a thread on iPhone and iPad apps.
Has anyone used any boating oriented Android apps?
Just got a Thunderbolt. Perused the Android Market site for boating apps. Quite a few navigation apps as well as access to NOAA buoy data
 
I've got the Navionics app on mine and love it. Well worth the $12.
 
I saw mixed reviews on the Navionics app, so good to hear.
 
"Marine Weather" is nice for NWS and buoy data. There's a free "lite" version to try that has ads.
 
I could not get the Navionics app to run on my Motorola Droid. I really like "currents" by yoyana, "rainy days" is a good weather program and "tide prediction" is simple and works great.
 
WiFi analyzer, Speed test, Earth NC, Latitude, Maps, Navigation, Places,Tide Prediction,Time2Fish, Scanner Radio,GPS Status, R Maps,
Earth, Marine Weather, Weather Bug, Florida Keys, Currents, Anchor Watch,Boat Ramps, US Army survival guide, Boat US. All free, all through the Droid Market. And, various forms of Navionics.
Try them and you can uninstall if not satisfied.
 
I used the Navionics on a 80 mile run yesterday and it was right on the money. Very good detail, wished it would go into landscape view.
 
Marine Traffic is a very cool AIS app. Also running have the BoatUS app and most of marathon man's list above.

wow - I need to block out some time to try these out
 
A good place to look for apps while on the pc is appbrain dot com. It is a lot easier to check out the app details on a large PC display.
