TZ iBoat Android beta testers wanted
A forum post snuck in a few weeks ago looking for beta testers for TZ iBoat. Timezero’s iBoat is an impressively full functioned navigation app for iOS and iPadOS. Until now, it has not been available for Android and hence the large community of Android users.
The beta begins the end of this month and will run until Spring of 2026. Initially, the feature set will be limited but Timezero plans to add features through summer and fall. The project lead says, “We’re looking for Android users to test the app, mainly people who don’t know TimeZero (to compare us with other apps).
Testers will get full access to US charts and all modules for free.
In return, we just ask for some feedback by email or short surveys – nothing heavy.”
Interested users can email them at [email protected] with your name and Android device info.
I am mostly an iOS person myself, but I know Ben Ellison is pretty excited to be able to use his Android phone. I have a few Android devices, so I’ll throw my name in the hat for beta testing and see if they choose me.
Indeed, I had already expressed interest in testing Android TZ iBoat and just got a note saying I’ll be in the the beta program that starts soon.
And I think they want a lot of testers, as in:
