Reviews
Loyal Customer no more
Super343
Customer for years, good ap good value but no more. Please reconsider....all my map payments gone? Send all my hard earned cash back, total extortion.
Works for me
Capt Gordy
I’ve had iSailor for 8 years and use it to navigate the shallow Gulf of Mexico where I live. The value is great plus I bought my local maps for another 2 bucks or something. I love it
Horrible app!
Jbaffoh
One cannot create a route to sail from east to west across the date line. Instead, if you want to sail from Hawaii to Fiji, they expect you to head for the Panama Canal or Cape Horn and sail the long way. I have contacted customer support, but they won’t respond. Also, charts I purchased this year are already expired and they expect me to re-purchase them as a subscription. No thanks!!! I’ll be demanding ALL my money back from these crooks.
Bummed
Squidstick
Really bummed you decided to make the change. Was a great app now not so much. Already overpriced maps, now require subscription for updates. This puts you near the top price for any navigation app. The update even convoluting the simple name of iSailor and a much less attractive icon..... really wish there was some way to roll back changes on apps.... certainly not a contender for my go to nav app any longer. There are many choices that are far more competitive on pricing for maps and functionality. Unless the revert some changes I would look elsewhere. Sad panda.
Sucker on my forehead
navih8ter
You guys are completed clowns if you really think I’m going to pay for corrections which I never had to pay for in the past. I’m done using this app.
Was great until update
Michael.Edwin.Wilson
This app was great until the recent upgrade. I already purchased maps that they want me to repurchase through a new subscription service. No thanks. I don’t appreciate the deceit. I’ll look elsewhere for my future navigation needs.
Bummer 2
Capt. Bingowings
Paying for updates now and buying the same charts again? Keep your updates. Time to find something more competitive.
Support for already purchased charts?
Changing Spots
Will this new version support charts that were already purchased if we keep the old version? Or do we now need to rent our already purchased charts? How much is the annual fee? It isn’t listed.
Horribly Disappointed
Nor'easter
I have been using this app for years. I have spent a fair amount of money on different chart regions over the years as I felt it was a decent value and it offered updates for free. Remember that US charts (ENC) are free to the public. I felt that paying for them through isailor was worth it as the app provided value. To now change the rules to long time app owners and say that if I want to update my charts I have to re-purchase my charts all over again every year would mean an annual cost of nearly $120 every year. There are just better options out there in this market. This company may want to seriously consider grandfathering prior isailor owners or it is likely that this nose dive towards a 1 star rating will continue. If you just sail in one region, it might be worth it. But if you sail in multiple regions, the cost is prohibitive. Disappointed.
