What happened?
bewilderedinNY

The app is now basically useless other then checking contours of the body of water your fishing. Your location doesn’t update so when you are relying on this app to get you out to the spot you marked you’re out of luck unless it magically starts working. Even then the spot is off compared to your true location.

Using the app is often problematic it can navigate incorrectly among other things. Strong WiFi is a must which isn’t possible out at sea even accessing satellite signal


Garbage
Disapointed Angler

I used to love this app but deleted a couple years ago when I had to take a break from fishing. It seems that the app I loved is long gone. Can’t even get into the login screen (something I didn’t formerly have to deal with) and keep seeing the endless circle icon.


Awesome app
MyNameIsDannyXRA

I really don’t understand the bad reviews. I’ve been using this app for over 6 years, fishing the open ocean up to 80 miles offshore. It has never let me down. Suggestion/request for the developers: please display lat/long as you move the crosshairs on the chart. Overall a great app, please keep up the great work !!!


What Happened?

I have used this app for several years and it has been stable and easy to use. This new version has added all kinds of automatic features that make the experience repetitive and just plain bad. Why does the map zoom out when I select an item? I have to zoom back in to see the detail again. What happened to the route creation where you would add points as you go and see your fuel consumption? Now it automatically adds a final point and you have to move it out of the way when creating waypoints and there is no fuel usage information. I paid for 2 subscriptions and after the third crash neither are loading so all I get is a blank chart and pop-ups asking for more money. This app doesn’t even deserve 1 star. I feel robbed!


After 16.2 All Detail Gone
Fjiwogsotsogso

Since the 16.2 update the app graphics have lost all detail, contours, etc. Local landmarks now just cartoony facsimiles. Tide charts for Buzzards Bay (Pocasset, Monument Beach, N Falmouth etc.) no longer show. What happened? App is pretty useless at the moment. iOS


Pretty Amazing

I’ve been sailing on-and-off since about 1965 and I’ve using this app on my iPad for only a few years but I now can’t really imagine sailing without it. It can be quirky to learn initially, but it is astounding what it can do and worth the time spent at home learning how to use it. I believe the company and its new customers would benefit from a mini video course using a series of short videos to train people how to best use the app. I’m sure there are many things I’ve yet to learn. Here’s a tip: When you’re at home playing with the app, learning it, turn off location services on your iPad settings for this app so it doesn’t keep wanting to bring you home (instead of out on the water where you’re pretending to be). (Note to Navionics: a training mode would be useful to accomplish this.) Don’t forget to turn location services back on when you head out on on the water.

Charts not updated
6twfam

I bought this app to use at Lake Powell but the water level is not up to date so it show the wrong levels. Wrong hazard warnings and even still shows the castle cut open when it is 15ft out of the water now! Don’t buy this!


Broken
