ColRegs: Rules of the Road

ColRegs: Rules of the Road is a study app for the Colregs, the collision-avoidance rules at sea that sailors, skippers, and exam candidates have to learn properly rather than vaguely. By our assessment, its strength is plain focus: it is about lights, shapes, sound signals, right of way, and the discipline of reading who has to give way. The trade-off is that this kind of app can feel dry and memorisation-heavy, because the subject itself is a rulebook, not a story. In practice, that means lots of repetition and a fair amount of patience, especially if you are learning the language of the rules from scratch. It sits in the same space as flashcards and exam prep, not as a broad seamanship course. People who need to pass a test or refresh the rules after time away from the water will find the purpose clear enough. For casual curiosity, it is a tough sell, and the limit is simple: Colregs reward careful study, not skimming.
