Don't buy! Not reliable supplier
I bought several chart package for isailor apps because the regular free updates were included. Without notice, they have changed the game of the rules without considering and honoring their original commitments.
Also the updates are ridiculous too pricy. I recommend not to buy isailor product.Show lesskrih HCl dgg3kvfy3ihe of dkj
This is a SCAM!
I purchased the app and i have had a lot of issues with it and i can not get any support at all. I have sent a number of emails and still have had only 1 reply in 2 weeks. So I know they are getting the emails... I have since purchased something else as I couldn’t wait for this long for the support.
This is a SCAM APP that doesn’t work properly!!!
Do NOT purchase it!!!Show lessDingonuts
DO NOT BUY! Was up there but no longer supported!
I have been using isailor for years now. It certainly improved brilliantly over time when owned by Transas. Features & layout are good, although inserting waypoints, & particularly building routes are incredibly fiddly if not tiresome. I love Transas map layouts, but am dissatisfied by the "extra" features & costs being charged. Since the “takeover” by Wartsila, they have not made ONE update to this app & it is falling behind the times compared with features now standard (& FREE) with the competition. They evidently are no longer servicing this app so STAY AWAY!!!Show lessPhantomBJ
Expensive and other options better
Since it has been changed to a subscription service it is now extremely expensive and there are better options available with OpenCPN and Navionics.
A good app ruined by greed I think. Customer Service non-existent.sixcentsworth
Dissatisfied
Good app but they’ve trashed their existing customer base by breaking contract over chart updates. Can not recommend because of this.major_clanger
Best nav app out there
Compared to a standard horizon chartplotter and inavx (which I used to use), iSailor is a dream. My favorite way to navigate by far! I can pan and zoom so quickly I feel that in tight nav situations it's a significant safety feature. Compare this to inavx or the chartplotter where panning and zooming are slow and cumbersome and take your attention away from operating the boat.Show lesstodd.h
Amazing app
Used this app as primary navigation on a 1,000 mile sailing delivery through the Caribbean. Amazing accuracy!!!!A Storm Fan
Missing tides
Nice app, haven’t tried integration with AIS.
A few suggestions for improvement:
1. tides (tidal data)
2. Weather - couldn’t figure out why it’s not displayed on a chart
3. Watch app - doesn’t seem to work at this timeCapt'n Paul
What a shame
iSailor has been my go to app the last couple of years whilst skippering around Croatia.
It served me well and I’ve told many other folk about the app.
I get that the developers want to make money but the new subscription pricing is a no from me. If the chart purchases had gone into the £40 area I’d still have bought charts but not £30 for just an update. Little changes year by year out on the water and that new fee is just to much.
What a shame that amateur sailors have lost iSailor to corporate greed.

Update. Good to see that our older purchaser before Nov 28 will be updated free. Great news and thank you iSailor.Show lessPaulG456
Developer Response
Hi Paul, We are now offering free unlimited update on all charts (besides Denmark due to the Danish Hydrographic Office requirements) purchased before Nov 28, and special deals on all charts until end of Feb. Hope you will enjoy these special offers!Not happy
Customer service is really nonexistent. I object to having to be a part of a subscription service when I already paid for my charts. Especially at the exorbitant prices they want for the update.
In their FAQ you would think they would give detailed instruction on how to unsubscribe. But no that is not the case. They just say that you can without any details as to how.
Was a nice light nav program that was easy to stick in my pocket as a back up to our installed chart plotting systems. Got me out of Singapore in 2013 and all the way to Australia when our new chart plotter system on the tug I was working on failed miserably. Disappointing in service and “new” updating structure. If I could give less than 1 star I would.Show lesschartographer
Developer Response
Dear chartographer, thank you for your message. We continue to provide updates for all chart folios purchased before November 28th. Unfortunately, our agreement with the Danish Hydrographic Office has changed and we are no longer allowed to provide free chart folios for the charts they provide us with. The chart folio remains available to the user for as long as he wishes. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact us at isailor.support@wartsila.com and/or at join@isailor.us
