Piece of crap

SpankyAir

I purchased the Atlantic chart. My 12 year old grand son knows more about the waters than the tiny, and I do mean tiny, amount of information on a paid for chart through this app. WORTHLESS.

Ok I wrote my last review regarding this App thinking my problems were a result of iSailor. It turns out that the IOS 8.3 upgrade has a bug in it which interferes with all external GPS's. As a result when my iPad automatically updated its IOS I lost iSailor. It was NOT their fault! But I did blame them. My Bad! I am back to loving this App! Now all I have to do is wait for Apple to resolve their problem so I can use it again.

Great app for novice boater!

I've been using this app for 2.5 years and it has worked flawlessly. The charts are frequently updated and have never steered me wrong. The app has been very reliable, and, although it's not supposed to be used as a sole navigational tool, it has helped me get out of more tricky jams than I care to admit. I use it to navigate the ICWW and various channels to access the Atlantic. I've not gone "out to sea" with it, but I can highly recommend the app for anyone looking for a near-shore navigational augment.

AIS

AIS option is minutes delayed in busy harbor. Not worth the money. I purchased. The $15 subscription to Internet AIS. ???

Inexpensive GPS chart plotter

UpstateLaker

I don't understand the negative reviews. The app is free and the digital charts are very reasonably priced, especially since the Navionics Hot Map for my Lowrance chart plotter cost me $135, at least for the NY Finger Lakes where I do my boating. The app runs smoothly and has all the features that would be needed for inland waters. I wouldn't try a TRANSPAC with just this app, but c'mon be reasonable! Good way to get started with electronic navigation. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the small screen on my iPhone 6 is a bit limiting

Fantastic app

I did use this app on Ipad for my sailing from Stavanger Norway to Iceland Westfjords last year 2014 it is a great software for this i did stop in Faroes and Shetland Islands and the charts where all the time very accurate,I have Navionis too but i did not use it for this trip Isailor is much better only one thing i would like to see is that i would like to see some support for Raymarine WI-Fish in the future would make this app PERFECT!!!

Rarely leave the dock without it

Great app, inexpensive charts, il and the current information is great for planning trips around the golden gate

Best nav app out there

Compared to a standard horizon chartplotter and inavx (which I used to use), iSailor is a dream. My favorite way to navigate by far! I can pan and zoom so quickly I feel that in tight nav situations it's a significant safety feature. Compare this to inavx or the chartplotter where panning and zooming are slow and cumbersome and take your attention away from operating the boat.

Very professional app

This app is the best navigational tool which I've ever seen before. There are no bugs in it, all features are well synchronized and quality is amazing. I will recommend it to my friends.

A very very good app

I have been using this app for the past year and this is proves to be a fantastic addition to my phone. I use this with the iPhone 6 Plus and it works anywhere in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore. The 6+ has its own built-in GPS so it will work anywhere in the world for that matter. charts are cheap, the weather program works well as does AIS. Just bear in mind to receive weather and AIS information one has to have an Internet connection.
