Latest reviews of Signal Flags International app for iPhone and iPad
It contains a good deal of valuable info. I would have liked to see more for the price, but when version 1.1 comes out shortly (containing the quiz feature), it will be really good. I recommend the full version if you really want to get into flag use or interpretation - it has more US Navy/Allied forces flags. As far as support goes, Apple posted the description for v1.1 before actually posting the update, and the Gigs, Inc. employee I contacted about missing features was quite helpful.
I was looking for an app to learn the signal flags, liked the free version, and noticed this one has a quiz function. Works great! Much more info on the individual flags as well.
Just updated from earlier version, quiz function is a nice addition! Works well, and use it weekly when sailing San Diego bay.
When you change pages the App exits. Not worth it.
