  • Very poor

    I have just made the mistake of subscribing to this app. The actual software looks quite good but the support is terrible. I have sent 3 emails asking for help (generally where the software is out of sync with the manual) and get auto replies but not answer. I guess Wartsila have abandoned the app? It would be nice if someone from the company clarified the position.

  • Sailed over 2k miles using this app as primary navigation

    Successfully used this app for sailing from Seattle to Alaska and back in 2019. It worked great.
    It has tons of great features which well worth the price.
    Too bad there hasn’t been any updates in the last years. Would love to have better integration with newer versions of ipad or more customizable instrument panels

  • Great charts and app for mobile devices hone

    This app is great and n Europe Asia and North American waters
    Charts costs are reasonable and can be used indefinitely
    Updates are available, however for many areas they are optional depending on your requirements
    Great value and good to have at least two completely stand alone charting systems and software in this age of denial of service attacks on companies and individuals.

  • Equator problem

    Come on guys…. Can you please sort out the split down the middle of the planet called the equator?
    Try putting in a route from Fiji to the Lau Group! 🤣
  • A rort at best!

    Why is this App still in the store? Is there no checks and balances here? Lift your game “store” this App has been abandoned by Wartsila for years and needs to be removed!
  • 2.9 stars not deserved

    People rated down the app when it get from being able to buy the charts for life to subscriptions and it is fair but this app is still the best navigation app out there, by far.
  • Long time user chased away by increasing fees

    I’ve been using iSailor since 2013, and have logged well over 10,000 miles with it. The new increases in chart subscriptions are INSANE! Charts that we’re $25 a year for updates are now $99?! If you want detailed info like marina amenities etc it’s even more!

    I’ll be switching to navionics and getting more bang for my buck. Too bad I really liked this app.

  • Was good - tides & currents disappeared

    Used to be a 4* app. Good detailed charts, but at times unintuitive UI and clunky UX. This was totally forgivable given the upsides of the app, in particularly the overlaid tides and tidal current information.

    However, sometime in early 2022, without notification (or refund!) the tidal information and currents just disappeared. The main reason I had this app instead of others: gone.

    I tried to contact and ask for an explanation; no one got back to me. I tried to get a refund through Apple; no luck. I had three chart regions and the tides, so that’s about £80 down the drain.

    I don’t want to hammer this company. Something must be going on. I just want my tides and currents back :’(

  • Best value for money

    Why would you pay thousands when iSailor will do almost everything a plotter does.
  • Some In app purchases suspended indefinitely

    I have been using and recommending iSailor for many years.
    I purchased a new chart area for a single trip. No problems. I then tried to purchase tidal data. The subscription option has no price. The 2015 user guide advised several steps. They are outdated but I tried to follow them. I reinstalled the app, I connected the app to iTunes, I tried many time consuming methods. I was eventually informed after an email request from me that some in app purchases are suspended indefinitely! Nothing on their website! This app has wasted hours of my time. It has also meant I have purchased a chart with no currents or tidal information for my 300nm trip. Very dissatisfied and disappointed that the was no communication on the website. That website update would have taken no time for Wartsila. I can only assume they want to keep taking money for charts and think revealing that tidal data is unavailable would slow sales.
