  • Voleur!!!!!

    Je veut etre rembourser!!!!!!!!!!
  • Breach of contract

    When I purchased the charts lifetime updates were part of the contract. Now they change the terms and there is a expensive subscription service to get what I already paid for. Don’t buy this product.
  • Used to be great, now a rip off

    When I first installed iSailor, I bought the charts on the understanding that I got updates in perpetuity. Now iSailor is owned by Wärtsilä, it is now a complete rip-off. It is now an expensive subscription model with zero regard to its existing customers.

    Time to change to another supplier.
  • No longer will I recommend this product

    I was happy to buy the charts but now you have to pay for upgrades. I use the iPad as a secondary tool for navigation because it was easy to move it around.
    Previously upgrades were free and came out sometimes twice a year. You are clearly advised to not rely on these charts but they are now charging you expensive upgrades. Leave this programme alone.
    A great programme that has been destroyed by money hungry entrepreneurs.

  • New update scam

    I'm more than niggled by this extortionate cost of having to now pay for updating previously purchased charts which I assumed were free to update once purchased. Was a great app but out of principal, I'll be switching back to Navionics.
  • Nope

    Was a great app but they have now decided to rip off thousands of customers. I don’t mind paying a bit extra for updates but what they are charging is disgraceful! Stay away from this app now.
  • Horribly Disappointed

    I have been using this app for years. I have spent a fair amount of money on different chart regions over the years as I felt it was a decent value and it offered updates for free. Remember that US charts (ENC) are free to the public. I felt that paying for them through isailor was worth it as the app provided value. To now change the rules to long time app owners and say that if I want to update my charts I have to re-purchase my charts all over again every year would mean an annual cost of nearly $120 every year. There are just better options out there in this market. This company may want to seriously consider grandfathering prior isailor owners or it is likely that this nose dive towards a 1 star rating will continue. If you just sail in one region, it might be worth it. But if you sail in multiple regions, the cost is prohibitive. Disappointed.

  • Paid service now?

    It was a great app and I have used it and recommended it to many people over the years. But now paying hundreds of dollars every year for a subscription? What a joke. The charts are not imo approved nor can they be used as a primary source of navigation.. but now Isailor wants to charge full rates to its consumers? Very sad that what was a good product has become so money orientated. I was happy to pay my $150+ for the charts I wanted - but to pay it annually on top of tides , wether etc. a bit too much, not to mention the $365 outlay for the ais unit I sailor recommended - give it a miss go navionics...

  • I've become disappointed

    Still no magnetic compass!!!!!!!!!!!!

    In the past I've rated this a 5 star. With the new updates I've downgraded it. My primary concerns are:
    - only allows true compass, all chart plotters and many apps allow magnetic. I've been requesting this for two years.
    - suffering from feature bloat - putting in many new features while allowing the usability to become more complicated and less intuitive.

  • Was great until update

    This app was great until the recent upgrade. I already purchased maps that they want me to repurchase through a new subscription service. No thanks. I don’t appreciate the deceit. I’ll look elsewhere for my future navigation needs.
