Reviews

Route Manager
sunil137

I was able to transfer all my existing routes from my PC route planning software to this. I am glad it did not loose the names of points i had so meticulously entered. Looking forward to using it this summer.

Precise route plotting
Satyajit

I like how easy it is to plot precise routes using this app. Finally an app that gets it right.

Great app
Sgrover01

Perfect app with perfect precision.. Now I don't have to use those clunky devices this summer. Love it..

STAY AWAY!!!
Kabkabkab76

Astoundingly bad - fraudulent would be a better description. This is a beta version, and a very early one at that. The screenshots show a simulator - the actual app does not have the functionality shown or advertised. The instructions do not even exist - site says "coming soon". The existing reviews are bogus, clearly posted by the developer (look at the names). I can't believe this made it into the App Store.

US Nautical Charts-NOAA-Marine Charts app for sailing boating kayaking and fishing - USA
mikallen

I hold a 50 ton inland Masters license and am a professional mariner in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have used many professional GPS based electronic navigation applications both on dedicated hardware devices and PC based applications such as Navtrek from Nobeltec Software. I recently downloaded GPS Nautical Charts on my iPhone while on vacation in Maui, Hawaii. I was very impressed with how easy it was for me to download the charts for the regions I wanted as well as the ease of use for all the functions, i.e. location indication based on the iPhone's GPS, route planning, track, way points etc. I liked this program so much that tomorrow I'm buying an iPad with 3G/LTE connectivity that has the built in GPS sensor. I plan to install this software on my new iPad and use it on the bay where I crew on the local charter sailboat NEHEMIAH. Also the customer support has been outstanding. All my questions asked via email were answered immediately and provided complete solutions to any issues I had. Anyone who has experience with any of the existing dedicated hardware or PC based electronic navigation software will be very impressed with US Nautical Charts-NOAA-Marine Carts app for sailing boating kayaking and fishing - USA! I just purchased the iPad and installed US Nautical Charts-NOAA-Marine Charts app for sailing boating kayaking and fishing - USA on the iPad as well and am very happy with the details of the chart images, the functions and the user support. While this app. for the iPad is identical to the iPhone app., the larger platform makes it quite a bit easier to operate. One additional note: I've read some of the negative reviews of this app and am quite baffled by the negativity. While I can't compare it to other iPad or iPhone apps., I think this app performs quite well especially when I remember that just a few years ago I needed a PC, Garmin or other brand GPS along with the software like Nobeltek to do the same tasks. Also, connecting the GPS to the PC required a special interface. Unless one is a power user who needs distance off, radar & weather overlays etc. this is a great app.

Texas lakes
Edwardb1970

I tried almost every lake app out there. This is the only one I found that offered comprehensive coverage for inland Texas lake maps. I have been using it for quite some time now. It has worked flawlessly for me. The maps are quite detailed, and I like the way app shows the route I am taking - much better than my garmin. I was even able to hear the sound guidance on my portable Bluetooth device.

DON't WASTE YOUR MONEY
Tatersoup

I spent $15 for this app and I am terribly disappointed. It is very cheaply presented, with coloring-book-level colors. I live on and fish Table Rock Lake in Missouri and I thought this app would be a "breath of fresh air" and show detailed lake contours, stream beds, and accurate elevations. In reality it fails all these requirements. The lake contours are large numbers and show only very rough approximations of the lake depth (even some of the fully exposed islands are shown with water elevations)! There are NO STREAM BEDS shown to follow to keep from running aground in shallow water. This app needs a lot of detailed work. Don't waste your money.

Nice navigation tools
captain_ben

I have been trying the nav tools all this morning. Very impressed with how accurate the next point alerts are. It even correctly alerted me for wrong course during my testing. Thanks for listening and adding support for real time track overlay in this update. It makes it very easy to follow what path I have taken.

I had this app on my Sony Xperia before I got an iPhone. Setting up on iPhone was a lot easier since I didn't have to plot routes again. I was able to transfer all my routes from Xperia to this one. They are very responsive to feedback. I had asked them to add lake Sammamish over a month back. And today I was able to get a bathy chart for this lake and I can see they have added almost every popular lake around my area. I am very pleased with this level of app support.
