One of the best interfaces around but disappointed about subscription

Mitulica

Update January 2019. The change in iSailor App to a no-discount subscription model for the expensive charts is not welcome. I use both iNavx and iSailor since I also want to have access to NOAA electronic charts, but am often flummoxed by the iNavx UI. iSailor’s interface accomplishing tasks like building a route easier. Now if only an iPad could work in the rain or in bright daylight!

Not happy

Customer service is really nonexistent. I object to having to be a part of a subscription service when I already paid for my charts. Especially at the exorbitant prices they want for the update. In their FAQ you would think they would give detailed instruction on how to unsubscribe. But no that is not the case. They just say that you can without any details as to how. Was a nice light nav program that was easy to stick in my pocket as a back up to our installed chart plotting systems. Got me out of Singapore in 2013 and all the way to Australia when our new chart plotter system on the tug I was working on failed miserably. Disappointing in service and “new” updating structure. If I could give less than 1 star I would.

Just adding my name to the list. I loved ISailor and turned many people on to it. I mourn the loss. But as one reviewer noted it's not only a terrible business decision, it's breach of contract. I bought my chart folios at the price they were then selling for with free updates. You can't just say "we changed our minds"... they could have made the subscription plan starting with new purchasers, they could have offered me back what I paid for any folio I don't want to pay annually for... not only is it a shame to lose such a great app but to watch them killing thee app... how many people would pay that much every year???

Missing tides

Nice app, haven’t tried integration with AIS. A few suggestions for improvement: 1. tides (tidal data) 2. Weather - couldn’t figure out why it’s not displayed on a chart 3. Watch app - doesn’t seem to work at this time

Amazing app

Used this app as primary navigation on a 1,000 mile sailing delivery through the Caribbean. Amazing accuracy!!!!

Very disappointed.

Météo I paid for that. Does not work.

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.
