User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★☆Great so far
It is handy for planning, needs a key/legend to identify the obstructions and markers etc. I like how after the maps are downloaded it easily transition from area to area. Would recommend it for an additional navigational aid.
★★☆☆☆No maps???
I am trying to use it as a nautical chart but it looks more like Apple Maps. Is it because I am abroad? It didn’t exclude anything when I was looking at the app presentation.
I think I am doing something wrong and I will change my rating when I figure it out or get assistance. Otherwise I will have to ask for a refund
★★★★☆Simple
Simple chart program. Puts you on a Noaa chart. Lacks tools were accustomed to. Great value though. I’m hoping the developer will add a few tools. I’d gladly pay more if they’d add marks routing and a caliper tool. Keep it simple though. I payed 50 bucks for the original Navionics. Was really happy to do so. Now that they’ve gotten greedy and made it a ridiculous subscription I’m out. This app and its potential are a breath of fresh air.
★★☆☆☆Not the best
You can download charts and scroll around/zoom, but that’s about it. No real interactivity on the chart (being able to click on chart details like channel markers to get expanded details? Nope. Ability to set waypoints in a course? Nope. Ability to measure distance between two arbitrary points? Nope).
It’s not bad, it’s just not really useful on the boat.
★★★★★Love this simple app
Used it in Destin FL to navigate a rented pontoon boat.
