User Reviews
Working only in USA don’t purchase
This app looked so promising to me. So I purchased it, downloaded it. And all it does is show a very basic map. Oh, I can pan over to the Atlantic but it literally shows nothing more than my iPad’s Maps app does. Less in fact! I sure hope I missed something, but I don’t think so. Ugh!
I bought hoping to get more insights on bays e.g. Tampa Bay and also rivers. No such luck with this app. If you go offshore, seems alright. I don’t go offshore, so this app is useless for me.
Good renderings of the electronic charts. I wish it wouldn’t switch to the lower resolution rendering of the map so readily when I zoom out.
Easy to use, no passwords right when I need it. Perfect.
After looking around to purchase some charts I found this app. Worth every penny. Great tool to have in addition to my electronics.
Nice to have a mapping program that doesn’t take a computer genius to figure out. All I wanted was maps I can use to see where things are without the big whistle and bells. And the big $$$$
Downloading charts for offline use crashes app randomly on a fully updated iPad. Wish there was a trial version that I could have used BEFORE I threw away $8.99. App deleted, money wasted.
Used it in Destin FL to navigate a rented pontoon boat.
I mistakenly thought that this was a legitimate NOAA product. Turns out it uses NOAA charts but is in no way associated with NOAA. It has absolutely no tools available for plotting routes in advance or tracking while underway. Useless for advance plotting and dead reckoning.
