Reviews on ActiveCaptain for iOS

★★☆☆☆ App needs work

I’ve been using this app to update units. And it’s always been hit or miss. For example there’s a glitch that happens when ever I check for updates. It will say it’s updated and that it was last checked Aug 22 with the current time. The Garmin website says my autopilot should be version 7.0. When I’m not connected to the chartplotter once I connect it doesn’t update at all. Says Vessel up to date.

★★★★★ App review

It was a little hard to understand at first but the more you work with it it all falls into place.

★★★☆☆ Boundaries

Cannot see or create Boundaries on the app. This would be helpful so when i return home and have marked a hazard or something of size, I could create a Boundary at a later time if deemed helpful. Especially when my boat is an hour away.

★★★☆☆ It’s okay but not Gr8

Cumbersome at best.

★★★★☆ So far so good

I have only had this since purchasing a new boat , plenty of great features, but I’ve yet to dive in deep on what this can do
