What Users Love
Nebo is the perfect product to keep up with other loopers and stay in contact with new friends.
Great way to meet other boaters, let friends and family follow your journey
Best money spent... don’t have to worry about logging the trip everything‘s done for you.
I love that Nebo sends me both daily and monthly summaries in a format that is much more complete than I could ever do on my own.
Pain Points
frequently crashes while opening app. only uninstall and reinstall fixes the app
keeps shutting down and stops logging my tracks whenever I lose internet connection.
logs aren’t accessible unless you purchase an annual subscription. It is like they decided to hold your information hostage.
analytics page is a page you must pay for... the price is not cheap.
