Reviews
Good Idea But...
Drwhupass
Seriously guys, you need to offer a free trial option or money back if not satisfied, say within the first 30 days. You are asking customers to pay for something that you have not proven to is that it has any value. Please make the changes and I will be your first customer
Not here in HI

Love the app but sorry to say doesn't have Hawaii harbors! Still waiting for refund
Fishing app

Good to figure out before you go, so you spend more time fishing instead of looking.
Great fishing app

If you fish offshore this app helps narrow down the spot you want to fish. The app pays for itself in fuel savings
I wish I seen the reviews before purchasing!

I watched 3 tutorials and I was sold: that’s what I need! I’m giving you 1 star only for the idea - that’s the only pro - the idea. Cons: Not granular enough for ANYTHING!!! There’s no good resolution on anything even the easy stuff. For fishermen fishing within a 30 Mile radius is useless. Then.... YOU PAY YOU GET SCREWED!!!! CANT GET MY MONEY BACK!!!!
Go RipCharts Go!

I have subscribed to RipCharts for many years now. I love all the different map views and tools. I find it to be very easy to navigate and they keep adding more features for the same price. Highly recommended! SCUBA Steve from Tementos Dive Center, New Orleans La.
