Excellent app

This is the only app I could find that has excellent coverage for Donau and Rhein. Maps are very slick and easy to use. I esp like the arrow with beacon in moving map.

Best value app Ive ever downloaded.

This app has lake Simcoe and all the major lakes on Trent Severn waterway.

So far so good!!

This is the only app I could find that includes Grand lake in Nova Scotia. Will upgrade it to five stars if they add support for French.

only allowed one quad

and the one I wanted wouldnt down load it picked the quad above what I wanted! so its got bugs I went to a diff app and paid for it! these guys were no help to me. dont waist your time on this app!!!!!

Useful and fun

I am in Canada on the pacific coast and am excited about this app. Not all the tide stations are available, but i understand they are working on adding more. Hopefully Canoe Pass, BC is next - hint,hint. I love that i have offline access to tide tables, current tables and the charts themselves. I will caution that the tide tables are labeled LST/LDT, but do not actually adjust for daylight savings so like most publications, are Local Standard Time - at least in Canada. I have not been far yet, but tried out the track recording in the dinghy. GPS reported position on map correlated well with my perceived position - as one would expect. The developers have been very responsive to my questions.

Mr

This app is easy to use. A manual of instructions would be more helpful though.

ENC maps for Canada and US

This app offers seamless ENC maps for Canada and US in the west coast. Maps are very easy to download and use. Works flawlessly with Dual GPS bluetooth receiver.

Huge bargain

Its the only app I could find that includes official CHS maps for Trent Severn waterway and depth maps for thousands of lakes in Ontario. Definitely a huge bargain.

Excellent

Excellent nautical charts and NMEA support. This app is able to read NMEA GPS sentences over TCP and show a real time moving map on an ENC nautical chart. This is really useful on an iPad since it does not have a GPS sensor

Great

Very helpful support, very detailed charts

App doesnt work

I paid $30 for this app and it doesnt show the maps that I downloaded. The maps are highlighted in green meaning they are downloaded but wont display when I zoom in. Customer support has taken to ignoring my emails and wont provide a refund. Apple support is no better. DONT BUY THIS APP.

Not happy with inland waters

One the most expensive apps I have bought. Lots of information for coastal waters but inland waters is severely lacking. The app states Rivers and Lakes, but no river information or even any detail. When you look at the map to choose which areas to download you can see the roads and other details, but when you download the detailed maps all that disappears.

good apps

thanks

Bait and Switch

Shows up as a free app, only in a few days tells you that its a "lite" version. To continue with GPS you need to buy various charts. Google will eventually put these people out of business.

Water level offset

Thanks for adding the ability to specify water level offset in settings. Its really useful to be able to change the contour and sounding depth to account into the water level changes. Will definitely use it this weekend t Lake Mead where the water level has dropped a lot due to drought . Water level offset will come in handy there.

Good support and follow up

This app was missing lake Marion in SC when I got it. I was very pleased when support informed me that hey had added both Marion and Moultrie in an update.Now my phone has better maps and more accurate navigation markers and channel details than our plotter.

Very easy to use

Downloading charts is very easy with this app. Charts respond very well to touch and have a lot of detail.

Amazing

This app has almost all the features that I was looking for. Vector charts and NMEA support. Will go PRO when the season starts.

Works very well & great app support....

The app works very well on the St.Lawrence River. I had problems loading on my new 6+. With a couple emails describing the issue, it was resolved <6hrs on a Sunday!!!

Awesome performance and great user friendliness

Ive been using this app for a while. Maps are all vector, very easy to download and use. The latest update makes it even better with AIS support. It connects flawlessly with our NMEA mux and overlays all the nearby targets on the map.
