About this app

A practical boating safety app with emergency guidance, MAYDAY support, location tools, crew details, and quick-access to favorites. Safe Skipper is a practical boating safety companion designed to help skippers and crew stay prepared, organized, and ready to act when it matters most!

The app brings together essential onboard safety information in one easy-to-use place. Whether you are planning a trip, refreshing your knowledge, or responding in a stressful moment, Safe Skipper helps you reach the right information quickly.

Save key vessel details in advance, including vessel name, call sign, MMSI, vessel description, and persons on board, so they are ready when needed. A dedicated MAYDAY support section helps structure a clear emergency call, while current location tools make it easier to capture and use your position quickly.…

Version 6.0.0 · 2026-07-16
How to use Safe Skipper Added guidance explaining how to prepare before a trip, use Search and Favorites, keep vessel/crew details updated, and treat the app as a learning and reference tool rather than a replacement for training. Home page search Search directly from the home screen for topics such as engine failure, fire, collision, man overboard, first aid, or navigation lights. Crew Register & Vessel Details Added a practical onboard register for vessel details and crew information, including emergency and medical notes. Favorites Pages can be saved as Favorites using the heart button, then accessed quickly from the home page. Search controls Search results can now be collapsed,…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
