Apps for Boaters

Mariners may find the following listing of boating related apps for smartphones, iPods Touches, and tablets useful in their boating activities. Many are free but not all. Note that this listing does NOT suggest endorsement by USPS of any of the apps. See the USPS Disclaimer page for information.

There may be different versions of an app, depending on the device you're using. For instance, there may be a unique app download for an iPad that's different in size and possibly function from an app for an iPhone or iPod Touch.

Users are encouraged to suggest other apps they've found useful in their boating experiences. Use the form at the bottom of this page to submit your suggestions for adding new apps, removing or replacing existing apps, or just commenting on the displayed apps on this page.
