Gold Standard for iOS Marine Navigation

This is super solid accurate navigation app for iOS. When chartering it's not uncommon to use the GPS version of this software.(moorings in BVI) I really like the auto routing upgrade. I have tried to trick it and it is spot on. Navionics is doing a great job.

I could not navigate the california delta without it. Essential for boating and most useful for fishing.
Da Best!

I have used this app for more than a year exclusively. It has helped me successfully navigate the Pacific Ocean from SanFrancisco to Hawaii and almost every hawaiian island. It is the best alternative to chart plotters with real time GPS. For $14.99! I couldn't ask for a better navigation aid. I have the app on my iPhone and iPad for one flat rate. Without this app, I may have run aground or got lost many times. Well worth the cost.
No option to navigate with magnetic compass bearings

...must convert your boat's magnetic compass bearing to true bearing and back and forth between app and physical compass on boat, which can get confusing, especially in difficult seas with your hands full. Have mentioned this oversight to company many times to no avail. They don't get it as well as other issues with app they've been unresponsive about multiple times. Wonder if they are mariners. Would not recommend. Would not have purchased if had known basic flaws of app...

No coverage for all lakes like it leads you to think. Call them to check before you buy, expensive mistake For me!
Can't trust it
RLA on the water
Way too many errors to be able to trust it. For instance in Puget Sound off West Point it shows depths of over 2400 feet in the middle of an area surrounded by 700 foot depths. NO other chart thinks there are depths that extreme there (there aren't). A little farther north it shows a depth of 5 feet in another area that is 600'-700' deep. Trust and credibility are out the window.
Ok at best

Over priced for as little lake info you get in Canada. Lake contours are crappy for Lake of the Woods. Noticed that other lakes in Canada have the same problem. Overall I would only recommend this app, for Canada, if a chip is out of your price range. Keep your fingers crossed that the lake you plan on fishing in Canada is even has lake contours.
FAILING TO DOWNLOAD VARIOUS CHARTS
REricR
The current version is failing to download charts for and adjacent to Canada--at least for me. Also made an in-app purchase for charts associated with the Caribbean and South America, and those areas failed to download for me as well.
Amazing GPS software

I purchased this app for my ipad and iphone, it is one of the best apps I've ever seen. It is capable of downloading your map area to use offline with GPS while boating. Updates very often. This is a lot better than any GPS I've ever owned.
Best I've found
TtK!
Love this app. Full offline downloaded maps. I've used this app a bunch of times and it works every time. Love making routes waypoints on the Chesapeake where there is close to zero cell service most of the time.
