Buyers Beware!!
Changing for the worse!!
GreatApp and was even better before an update removed the ability of a user to delete detailed map coverage at will! This is a significant step backwards in functionality. Now anytime you take a detailed look an area, you are stuck with all that data taking up storage space on your device. It is always a bad sign when a company starts removing functionality from an App. Buyers beware!!
Worth every penny and then some

I bought this app because the 33 foot egg harbor I bought had no electronics on it since the seller wanted to keep them. It has literally taken me from Sandusky Ohio on lake erie, to Kemah south of Houston Texas where I am from. This app alone Did that. Incredibly detailed and accurate if you actually know how to read a chart. I cruised 15 miles offshore sometimes and held perfect gps location. Brought me through almost all of the icw and lots of terrible waters in fog and pitch black. Probably has saved my life literally! Worth every penny. iOS 5.1.1 and flawless.
Crashes all the time!

I like this as a back up chart, when it works... Which is not very often... I have had to delete it and re install it each time I want to use it... Too bad. Good idea, poorly executed...

Needs night time screen!

Great product. I use it every week to navigate the St. Lawrence Seaway / Thousand Island region of New York. I have recommended this app to countless other boaters. The GPS works outstanding. The biggest thing that needs to be improved is a night time screen. Navigating at night the screen is way to bright without substantial dimming. The other thing that would be nice to have (so that I don't need to keep changing between apps) is an AIS locater. This would also help at night so that I can easily locate shipping vessels in the channel. Hopefully Navionics reads reviews and adds these features, but even if they don't I would still highly recommend this product to anyone boating in a large body of water.
Excellent Marine App

Read the 1st review. It says pretty much everything about the GPS side of this app., including suggestions I would also make to Navionics to enhance this product). But there is also much more… wind and tide data for wherever you go, access to pilot guides (under "Magazines') and much,much more…making this a must-have for any serious boater
Worthless to me

Because you can't specify what charts to download and cache ahead of time (and STAY cached), you're stuck sailing only in areas with cell coverage so you can constantly download the charts you need. We specifically sail in areas that don't have coverage so this app is worthless to us.
Saved my Bacon and I mean it!

I started runnng the saltwater flats in Jacksonville Fl. I like to fish. I just bought a new iPhone 3GS I just purchased this Navionics app so I could see where I am while fishing. I had little knowledge of the program and with all new things I had not spent much time learning it. To set a number on it about 0 to 1. Yesterday I went fishing up the ICW, hung a right and ran to the mouth of Simpsons Creek. The time is 2:50pm. I started fishing, winds picked up, lightning starts. at what appears to be way out there. It wasn't. I cranked up the boat and started heading back to the dock. The rain came up with so much speed I couldn't believed it. Then the lightning started. The rain was so blinding I couldn't even see in front of me. I now arrive at the ICW and turn left to head back to the ramp.I have never seen a rain or storm like this one. I tried to get the boat on plain to beat the storm. That didn't happen. I am trying to run marker to marker to get back to the ramp. That didn't happen. When I hit the ICW I still couldn't see a thing in the storm. I followed what I thought was the ICW (intercoastal waterway). That didn't happen. I kept going at a slow speed, blinding rain. the waterway kept getting narrower. Odd I thought.. You guessed it! I was lost. I was down at the end of some creek or offshoot. I notice the backend weight on the boat. I pull up the hatch and its full of water. Of course from the storm. I hit the bilge pump. That didn't happen. It's not working. I hit the live well to see if it recycles. That didn't happen. I now have boat filled with water from the storm and no way to get rid of it. The rain lets up. Lightning everwhere. I wander around for an hour trying to get out of this creek. No way! I took a 44oz drink cup and bailed all the water out from the backend of the boat. I didn't pull the iPhone out for fear of getting it wet, it was in the dry storage locker. I get hung up on an oyster bar. That too another 20 minutes to get of it. Pushing with an oar paddle. I break free of the oyster bar, i get out the iPhone. I hit the Navionics app. I hit tracking and everyother button trying to figure where am I at????. I keep pushing the in and out buttons on the map to try and figure it out. Then the red line indicator started blinking and the arrow moving. Huh? Ok. A body of water is to my right. In out , in out. ITS THE CREEK! I slide up and down the map and realize I am at the end of what is called Garden creek. I am not only in the creek, but at the extreme end of it with little or no indications of size. Also shallow water, this is not good. I start heading to the bigger water, following the red indicator line and arrow. It dosen't look to me as if I can make it there. Land or flats cover would prevent it. I just kept following the indicators. The indicator took me everyway that I had circled for hours. But then the large end of the creek and deeper water came up. In out, in out. It looks like I am in the right course. I was. The creek widened, the indicator kept directing me, I followed it right up the creek. Slowly and came to the mouth and ran into some fishermen. They said your in the right directiion just around the corner. I went through the Navionics "shallow water" notes, with the boat slowly. I hit the ICW and ran back to the ramp. Safe and sound. Wet cloths, chilled and all, but safe. To the brethren at Navionics. YOU SAVED MY BACON. I am 70 years old, fish by myself and I don't need getting lost up in creeks i am not familar with. To Navionics "God bless us everyone Tiny Tim". Its a great progam for your iPhone, and may save your BACON! Thanks Guys great job, great program. ontheflats and from the iPhone ontheflatsnow.
Navionics is ignoring a bug

In the vicinity of Reedville - Smith Pt, VA, as you zoom in the navaids disappear completely. Come on, Navionics, surely you can fix that. Problem fixed, thanks to a very helpful and competent person at Navionics whom I won't risk embarrassing by mentioning her name.
