Fantastic

I've used iSailor for several years and have never had ANY issues. I've never had it crash. It's very stable. I export my routes to my wife when she stays home. She knows exactly where I've been during the day. It's easy to use. I recently purchased the "Weather" part of the app and love it. Tells me everything I need to know; tides, wind, pressure, wave height, etc. Don't look any further, this is the app you need for boating and sailing.
Problem with new IOS WiFi

Hi, I’m using this app with iPad air2. But after I updated IOS to 11.1, the AIS sensor in the app could not connect to PILOT TECH V3 WiFi AIS. So, please I want the solution for this problem. I just bought the iPad Air 2 only for this app.
For serious sailors, this is a great app

I have 35 routes around Savannah, Georgia which I use on a motor boat at 25 knots. Easy to follow. I just completed a 900 nm passage from Tampa, FL to Savannah, offshore in the Gulf and Atlantic. All the planning and onboard navigation was done on an iPad with iSailor (with considerable prudent backup that was unneeded). This included three unanticipated ports of call which required rerouting while at sea. Excellent accuracy, even in tight quarters. (However, pay attention to expected GOS accuracy). The skipper said “the nav job was fantastic.” There is a reasonable learning curve to iSailor because this is a sophisticated, prosumer-level product. There are numerous app-purchase chart packs and instrumentation add-ones. If you just want to go around the lake, the app is overkill.
Has it all

Easy to get started. Has all of the advance features you would need. The chart detail is amazing!

Great app. The app alone makes owning an iPad worth it. Especially like the cross track error display and ability to set the boundaries. I can not think of one improvement and I use this all the time for recreation and commercial fishing.
New internet AIS

I recently paid the $16+ for the internet AIS, what a waste of $. I work and play on the water in Corpus Christi TX. the 5th busiest port in the US as well as home to thousands of pleasure boats. It comes in intermittently and when it does pick up a target it is at least 30 min. behind. I also use the Marine Traffic AIS app and while it has a 1-5 min lag it always shows all the AIS equipped traffic. Just wish that ISailor had picked this group to merge with. I contacted both ISailor and Pocket about this and they offered to help ME set up a receiver/transmitter to improve there service. Don't know how you could check to see if it will work good in your area before you spend the $ but it's hard to get it back if your unhappy.
Does what we need and does it well.

We bought iSailor for my iPhone and iPad instead of a back-up stand-alone GPS system for a Mediterranean sailing trip. I’ve never used their competitor, but for about 1/20 the price, I got all the functionality I needed. Aside from using the boat’s built-in GPS system for the auto-pilot, we used iSailor all the time. It was easier, had more features, and was more accurate. And, as a bonus, for just a few dollars more I can add charts from just about anywhere I would ever need. The charts have been accurate and up-to-date. Aside from a few hitches during updates, we have been completely satisfied.
Doesn't work after iOS 8 - keeps crashing
OO.oo.OO.oo.OO
Please update the app for iOS 8. I can't use this at all anymore.
