Used to be useful, now I am being herded in a subscription scheme requiring me to make an account. Was a great app. Once upon a time.
USA Renewal Increased ~ 75%
Went to renew USA for 2023 and discovered Canada / Alaska added to database increasing cost from $14.99 per year to $24.99 per year. I will never use Navionics in Canada or Alaska. Why would Navionics force their Customers to pay for database features they’ll never use? I’m in the commercial navigation field supporting the hardware engineering and software side. This seems like a money grab with no benefit to USA only users. Awaiting your reply before deciding to renew or use one of your competitors products.
Updated coverage is disappointing
Previously, I could purchase USA coverage for about $15. My coverage expired yesterday, and the only option now is USA and Canada for an extra $10. I don’t fish in Canada and it stinks to be nickel and dimed by a company.
Ripoff!! Don’t buy it!!
They get your money, then they delete it and then they want to charge you again and again and again for what you already paid for!! A complete ripoff!! Their pitiful lie of an excuse is that they updated maps and that this is a “price adjustment”. It’s not an adjustment. They delete downloaded info you paid for and then want you to pay for the exact same crap again and again!! I’ll never buy anything from them again, apps, maps or chips!!
Fraudulent app
Features that I already paid for no longer work. Not only do they no longer work, but the app developer now wants me to pay MORE than I previously paid. What a scam! You guys should be ashamed, really pitiful business tactics. Nice way to treat your users. I will never buy anything from your company ever again and I will be sure to tell other boaters my story. App developer claims they have removed redundant maps. Ok, the US map and Canada map could not be any different. Why do I care about Canada if I live in the US? Why are you forcing me to buy both and charge more? This is not a good deal, I care only about one specific area and that’s it. YOUR PRICE IS NOT REASONABLE and I don’t appreciate you removing maps that I already paid for and downloaded. Since I can’t use what I already bought, I want my money refunded.
Downloaded chart can not be highlighted
All Southeast Asia areas have been downloaded. But only a few parts are highlighted, further, after several hours, all highlighted parts will gone!!! It’s a bug! Please fix it. And according to your colleague, the latest ver is 18.5? but I can’t find it in apple app stores
Used to be awesome until Garmen bought it!
I paid like $15 when this app first came out many years ago. I used it for years and the app was always ahead of its time. Now that Garmin bought it, they deactivated the old app, and forced users to download a new version with the same exact icon and name, thus forcing us to pay for their features. The new app is no better than the original Navionics and if anything it’s more confusing to use than ever. I usually like Garmin’s products but thumbs way down for you guys destroying a perfectly good app.
I Did Not Get What I Paid For!
I bought this app several years ago for fishing. I just wanted it for the topo maps. Worked good. Now this year I can’t see depth any longer without purchasing a subscription for what I had already paid for. I understand if they want to charge for map updates, that’s fair, but I at least deserve the maps I had paid for in the past. Just another software company trying to fill their pockets by selling subscriptions. It is not worth the subscription fees.
Too difficult to use
It’s a shame how difficult it is to use this app. Try adding a waypoint and then moving it a little. Or try selecting a nav buoy to see the light timing while in a boat. God forbid a waypoint be near the buoy; you’ll never be able to select the buoy instead of the waypoint while underway. Why not have important info like the buoy’s Iight pattern be easy to read. Why not make Routes easy to edit. For the life of me, I cannot get a route to auto create without including a nearby channel only ships have to use. Such a shame.
Great app for serious trip planning and backup
I have use this app for at least 5 years. It’s east to use and amazing. I have used it from FL up the Tenn Tom and all over the Great Lakes. I don’t understand the negative reviews. Even when I am underway I will have this running on my phone or on the iPad.
