About this app

This app helps you to learn the vessel lights as prescribed by the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (ColReg).

Learning in this app takes three stages. In the first stage "Study", the vessels can be browsed, and each vessel shows its lights from the side as well as from the top. A unique feature is that the vessel can be rotated by swiping, so that it can be viewed from all angles. In the second stage "Practice", random vessels are presented from a random angle, and in side view. Make a choice out of four answers. It is possible to cheat in various way: asking for the correct answer, rotating the vessel, going back to other vessels. The final stage is the "Examination". There is no cheating here. Random vessels from a random angle. Case after case. The timer is running. When the examination is finished, you are rewarded with a report. And, another unique feature, you can review your answers.

The app has some customization features such as choosing the amount of questions in the examination, whether to beep on correct/wrong answers, and the language.

Of course you can share your examination results with your friends.

This app requires no permissions.

Great app! The ability to turn the light 360 degrees in the practice area is brilliant. I just wish the wrong answers would show longer in exam mode so I can learn from my mistakes. This can be changed in the settings but then correct answers show way too long. Great learning tool! EDIT: Thank you Maarten, no I didn't realise you could click your results to review the answers! That's brilliant, thanks!

Hi Maya, thanks for your comment. Do you know that you can review your answers after the exam? Just click the 'evaluate' button in the action bar (or tap your report card).

Excellent app. Breaking it into 3 sections is very helpful (study, practice, exam) and makes it less overwhelming. Q: I'd like to know how the test scores are determined I can get 100% in 250 seconds but only get a score of 790/1000.

Great app, double diagrams help orient the learner quickly. One suggestion: It would be great to enter lights as seen by the observer to a screen and let the app tell you the heading and the type of vessel, or alternatively one could take a picture and let the app determine heading and type of vessel.
