Amazing program for sailors
Guru This
Sailed 100s of miles using this program. It's not perfect, but it's cheap and powerful if you're willing to dig in and learn a bit. Love it.
Top notch Nav tool!

Start using Transas back in 95' come a long way, getting better and better all the time. Gone through some growing pains but worth the problems overall. Resent update has an export glitch which I'm sure will get resolved soon. Excellent app and very useful for passages with weather integration with Weather Track.
Just keeps getting better!

The recent inclusion of the tides and currents means I can stay in iSailor for all my nav and planning. I especially like the display of currents for all stations in the map view. And being able to see future currents helps planning for currents throughout the day.
Fantastic Nav App

This app is quickly becoming my favorite Nav app on my 30' sailboat. It's extremely well laid out and everything seems to be exactly where I want it to be. I like route planing to be a little easier. Perhaps follow my finger style. And I'd like Active Captain integration. Add those two things and I'd delete all the other Nav apps I have.
They use Bait and Switch Tactics....

After downloading this App it was apparent that most all of the positive reviews were obviously false. This App consistently charges you more and more until you finally just give up in frustration. If I could give this negative stars I would.
Works Great

Not sure what Hula Girl's talking about. I'm using vector based charts on the U.S. West coast for $4.99. Works perfectly for me.
Very good app and charts
quakerlb45
The only app I could find in the store with detailed charts of Hong Kong, so obv a major plus for that. I love the usability of the interface, they have a very good guide to get you going and then from there you can get the hang of it pretty easy. As other reviewer stated, I would like auto routing as manually doing it can be pretty tedious. That said, you can copy routes and adjust from those, plus a lot of nav apps don't do auto routing well because of depth and other restrictions fouling it up. The charts are outstanding, the level of detail and quality of information is top notch. I actually like this app better than my Garmin hardware chartplotter that I use on a different vessel and this app was a fraction of the price. Don't be deterred by the negative reviews on here. I think the developer got it right in terms of offering balance between features you may or may not need.
Good app, only works with cellular iPads

Caution: make sure you have a cellular iPad before purchasing this app. Wifi only iPads do not have built in GPS. This app will NOT work out in the ocean with wifi only iPad. Good app otherwise
Don't be fooled - its not cheap

Don't be fooled by the cheap prices in the "in-app purchases" list. They get around that with "unlock" features. Want full NMEA support? That's another $33. AIS? Another $10. I didn't bother to see what else I would have to unlock. Delete!
Awesome sailing app!

I use this regularly while sailing in the Chesapeake and occasionally in the Mediterranean. It has been a very useful tool and has all the functionality you would expect from an expensive onboard GPS nav system. Highly recommended!
