"Boaty App" - Anyone Heard of It?

A sailor I ran into in Yarmouth showed me an app on his IPhone which did tides, currents, weather, harbor pilotage, and all kinds of useful things. He called it the "Boaty App". Anyone ever heard of it?

Re: "Boaty App" - Anyone Heard of It?

Sounds like a good app. Is it available for android? At first I thought it was an app to send Boatman to new and exotic locals.(whether he wants to go or not) I.e. Boatman will now depart Oz to deliver a 16' Hobie to Tahiti. Just imagine the possibilities. He would soon be wealthy but never on dry land to spend the profits.
