No longer can be used
This used to be a great way to connect phone to Axiom and worked ok. But now you need to log in - and there is no way to do this / it just fails rendering the app totally useless. The people at Raymarine obviously want to capture your data - but have made a huge backwards leap. A bit of testing wouldn’t go amiss!

This app is an embarrassment.
This app is unstable and fails to maintain a connection to the Axiom MFD. I don’t know if that’s entirely the app or just bad Wi-Fi implementation on the Axiom but the app reports a poor Wi-Fi signal just a few feet from the Axion despite IOS reporting a strong signal. When it works it’s laggy and the screen resolution is grainy and hard to read. It looks like Raymarine just grabbed some open source screen mirroring app like VNC, put a wrapper on it and called it a day. Oh, and it ignores screen rotation in IOS, All in all its just barely usable and is a disappointment since I was counting on this to work reliably.

Constantly loses connection with IPad that’s 12’ away
When it works, it is great. But, it routinely loses connection. I have to close and reopen the app. I’m in an aluminum boat with a pilot house, but the iPad is only 12’ away from my 9” Axiom with nothing in the way. Went round and round with customer service who said they’ve never heard of such a problem and suggested changing the WiFi settings, which we did. Nothing corrected the problem🤦♂️We’ve repeated the issue with all 3 Axioms, 2 iPads, and 2 IPhones. Not sure if it’s an app issue or an Axiom issue.

No dark mode and tiny tiny text
Totally unusable at night and the data panels would be good if the text was not ridiculously small
Stay away from Raymarine!
This is the worst app. It doesn’t work for its one intended purpose, to mirror the MFD display. It drops often, like every minute - not cool when boating in thick fog. Have the app on an iPad and iPhone but it won’t let me log in on iPhone, just error messages saying wrong email or password but won’t let me update either. Worked once on iPhone and not again since. Forgot password gives same error message. Deleted app and reinstalled and still same message. The radar itself, brand new, has similar issues, like not showing boats when they are close by! What’s the point of radar?? Wish we could start completely over!!

Can’t even set up the account
What kind of app doesn’t even allow you to set up the account? Well, it’s this one. :-(
Useless
Loses connection constantly. Can’t interact with autopilot.
Frequently locks up and loses connection
When it stays running, it’s great. But it loses WiFi connection with my iPad ALL THE TIME. The distance from my iPad to the Axiom is only about 12’.
Loses conection
Runs for min or so then looses connection.
Why so difficult?
I also had hoped that this would make updates easier. Raymarine says, “just use the micro SD card!” But, that’s not easy and definitely not user friendly. The “large file” excuse is lame. 1gb file isn’t unmanageable for a modern phone and wireless network anymore. Just make it easy.
