This is a must have for recreational boaters in Florida and snowbirds cruising south for the winter down the ICW. Boating in FL can be frustrating due to no wake zones and limited bridge openings. Limited bridge openings could mean waits of up to an hour or more. This tool will help you to stay informed and plan accordingly.
The app covers all of the waterways in Florida, including the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), bays, inlets and canals. Also covers key areas such as the Okeechobee Waterway, New River, and more. Includes information from a variety of sources, including NOAA charts, state and federal Manatee Protection Zones, Boating Safety Zones and more. It covers the ICW all the way up to Chesapeake Bay, and all coastal waters and rivers up through VA.
Tide station information was also added. For each tide station, the times for high and low tides each day are shown. Tidal heights are included as well.
NOAA Coastal Waters Forecasts are now included. These include wave height forecasts up to five days out.
Reviews
Very useful to have

I really like the marine charts imposed onto the map. Very useful for locating navigation markers. The minimum wake zones seem to be accurate for my area and also very useful.
Not too accurate

Just got this and looked at my local area. This app does not have the local speed zones correct. So, probably can't trust it for other areas. Disappointed.
Great app

The app is really helpful. Now I know all of the no wake zones and what the signs actually say. It's tough to read the fine print in no wake signs when you're speeding by. Bridge opening schedules are super useful too. Very handy going up and down the icw.
Inaccurate Zones

I received a ticket for $90 because the police informed me the speed zone from November 15 -April is slow zone idle for manatees. I followed the green 30mph FROM the app. This app is out of date and provides inaccurate information that consequently cost me a speeding ticket. When I reached out to developers they didn’t offer to compensate me for my ticket.
No value

Map won’t load (on WiFi) when scrolling down. Even the feedback link doesn’t work
Waste of money

This app is very slow to populate and the zones are not even close to accurate. I just travelled down the ICW in Eastern FL and found this app to be completely useless
Very very slow and limited information

This really is a waste of time and money. Very general information
Very Low Level of Detail

I bought this because it advertises that it shows heights of bridges over inlets, canals, and bayous... turns out it really just covers major bridges on major thorough-ways which likely have the clearance posted anyway. Disappointing $2 gamble.
Latest version works great.

They have had some problems keeping up with IOS changes, but the new version work great. A very valuable tool with data that is almost impossible to get anywhere else. I’d gladly pay a lot more than what it cost.
