iPhone / iPad Apps - sugestions

[DarkBlue]

Hello,

I'm developing an iPad/iPhone Apps startup and would like to hear about your ideas regarding nautical apps you would like to have on your mobile devices.
Thank you all!

Weather meta-app. Picks forecasts from selected online weather sites and gives you the range of results for your chosen location/area.

Nav app that includes tidal stream info so calculates best time of departure/ how passage time will vary with departure time, for a given passage along a string of waypoints - as PC nav software such as Neptune and others does but to my knowledge no iPad/ iPhone app yet does.

performance measuring app. something that could be fed with nmea data from the instruments and from that derive a polar for the boat against which it could measure performance at any one point in time. so it would tell you that " you are achieving 87% of polar" for example.

The first weather app suggestion is something I've thought about but dont have any experience coding and it would need to be cross platform.

Brilliant.
