Charged twice scam scam scam please don’t buy I’ve been screwed out of $$$
catter2020

I payed 15$ actually 16$ for the app charged me twice and the app still doesn’t work!


Bait and switch
Mahblehead

Paid for the original app, was not a subscription- now, paying same fee again as a “subscription” for features that used to be standard with app. Shame on you.


Scammers and cheaters, beware!
Fisherman dave 12345

As an early adopter, I purchased this app for a very high one time fee which I was told would last as a one time purchase subscription, it was then discontinued and developer opened a new app with a short two window window to resubscribe for more money albeit for a discount I was scammed. The charts are in accurate, do not load properly and constantly flooded with add spam. I highly recommend to stay away from these products from Navionics. They are out to scam you, deceive you and take your hard-earned money. Never again Navionics, you should be ashamed and embarrassed for your business practices.


Love the App for fishing
Trabocse

I love this app. I do pre fishing trip analysis in the comfort of my home using the contour maps I live in Miami and so far it has been very handy I terms of better pining down the spots I would like to fish, depths changes, ledges, etc. Even for inshore fishing it is helpful


A must have for any boater!
euromade

This app literally saved my life as we got caught in a very thick fog on Lake Michigan (August 2018). Visibility was 20-50 yards however I followed my route from Muskegon to Grand Haven and we made it home safe! I wish I could somehow post some photos from our “adventure” that could have ended quite differently had we not had Navionics on board... I’ve been a subscriber since 2012 and never had any issues with the app. This app pays for it self in fuel savings as I always use my own preconfigured routes as well as the auto-routes...


Crashes when opened
wa$te of ca$h

Can’t even open it, paid 10$ and it crashes every time I open it, what a waste of money


Needs improvement
GetwithitWellsFargo

Good app. However the UI needs some work, it’s rough around the edges. Here’s a good example I found a bug. If you are a paid subscriber on a iPhone and you search for the Navionics app using quick search, it reverts to the free app with basic features. However if you open the app directly (not from search) it works fine with sonar and all the premium features. Your developers need to work on the UI and your QA team needs improvement. Much more work is needed to justify the cost.


Best so far
lukegman

I have tried all the apps. This one is the best. All the other ones are very hard to figure out and don’t chart your route for you. This one does. Its not the easiest. But for planning a route. It is the best so far


Sorry I recommended this app to so many people.
average anerican

I wish I hadn’t talked so great about this app bc now they are trying to charge extra for everything. The owners of this are just as greedy as the rest of these scum bag corporate people like when netflix cancelled popular shows and tried to make you pay extra. We must stand together and refuse to be taken advantage of by another company like navionics.


Great app
Jwilson556912

The more I use this app and realize the depth it has, the more I love it. Very useful on the water.
