What is the renewal price? Please forward to me , I would like to know what you are going to charge.
App crashes immediately
App used to work great. I paid for a subscription last year. Now the app crashes every time I open in. I’ve tired everything recommended: closed all other apps to free up memory, checked storage, open in airplane mode, restart the phone. Nothing works. I paid money for this app and it doesn’t work.
Won’t stay open
IOS for some reason the developer does not have an option for keeping the app awake, no other boating GPS I’ve tried has this issue, no settings to enable it to remain open. No I don’t want to have to toggle the phone itself to have to stay on all the time in the main settings. The app should be able to remain awake
Love it, but fails on some iPads at low speeds
Navionics is my primary chart plotter on my sailboat. I absolutely love it except for one bug. On some iPads it does not work below 5 knots. I need to use my android phone when going slowly while leaving and entering harbors. This is also when it is most critical. I use it minor percent of the time when at speed. Route planning is absolutely amazing. it is nearly a matter of clicking on the start and end points on the chart. Maybe add an interesting point or two if you have specific route changes that you like. In 30 seconds, I can now plan what used to make me hours with paper.
Distracting and unsafe
The inability to lock the map view in the course up or heads up mode is absolutely unacceptable and dangerous. Every time you pan or zoom the map, the map view resets. In order to get a desired map view back, you need to touch a very small icon twice while on a fast moving vessel. This app behavior is extremely distracting, frustrating and unsafe! Furthermore, the map doesn't pan automatically as the vessel moves; you have to pan it manually, which results in the map view being reset repeatedly. I recommend the folks designing this app to try to actually use it on a fast moving vessel as that would help them understand how dysfunctional this app actually is.
Great app but needs location update fix
So fantastic must have app but sometimes with latest version when opening or switching back to app it will show a stale boat location with no indicator that it’s stale and it just doesn’t update until u force kill and re launch. You CANNOT show stale location especially with no indicator that it’s old. Can be dangerous. Get this fixed ASAP please.
Straight line
This is the third summer I have used this app. It has been great for getting to know a large lake. This summer it has started showing just a straight line from where I start to where I go. It has me going over land! Not sure what has happened! I would post a screenshot but I don’t see a way to do that.
Would have been 5 stars but…
This will not sync my trip planning to my Garmin 8612, it also won’t sync to a Garmin 1243. This would be a great planning tool if that feature worked. It’s pretty much useless without that for me. I didn’t spend 10k on chart plotters to still use my phone for navigation. I followed all the instruction with no success.
Not usable
Installed and trying to use for a trip today. Registered and account and trial. Will not open. Immediately crashes and closes.
Does not work in airplane mode anymore
Doesn’t work without internet connection anymore. Which makes it mostly useless. On iPhone 11 and on iPad 7. The app either dies, or complains “can’t check map updates” and becomes unresponsive. The latest app versions on both devices. iOS 16.5.1
