  • Complete out of date , the route was planned through a lock closed decades ago!!!!

    Completely useless and dangerous,
  • A real help

    Transitted the "Mast Up" route from Amsterdam to Vlissingen in July 24. I had just been introduced to Waterkaarten and found this a fantastic help going through the canals and with the bridges and locks on the way. It was so much easier than the last time I did thois a few yeasr ago without Waterkaarten. I would strongly recommend this app to anyone traveling the Dutch canals

  • Excellent navigation and planning tool

    I have been using Waterkaarten for over 10 years when cruising in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. It has always been an invaluable, accurate and reliable resource for planning and navigating when underway. The Waterkaarten team are clearly committed to continually improving the app and have always been responsive and helpful whenever I have contacted them.

  • Only a free trial

    Clicked an ad and downloaded. Have to register only to find out it's a 7 day free trial. No mention anywhere that this was for a trial. Bit disappointing so deleted straight away.
  • Wouldn’t bother right now

    Bugged. Won’t even get past the password

    As a Brit the go to App for sailing in Netherlands waters is Waterkaarten. Thanks
  • Best app ever

    Never had a better marine navigation app. All info needed, and much more, is there and always accurate. Highly recommend when navigating the European inland waterways
  • Goed app 👍

    Uitstekend support 👍
  • Disappointing

    When I saw the add while playing solitaire I was excited because we are leaving in 10 days for our two week canal boat trip and I am driving. The ads in the App Store look very enticing and I was prepared to pay once the trial worked for me. Unfortunately it did not. The map was very stoggy, moved jerky at best, and only moved back and forth. Vertically extremely limited. My starting locations were not in the database it seems as there was no response. Dutch language is not a problem since I lived in Drenthe 15 years. Perhaps it works well for the Netherlands, but my sailing area is canals in the south of France and the app was totally unresponsive when trying to get to that area. Looks like it’s back to the French waterways booklets for me. Schade, ist leider so. I probably will delete the app later unless it’s got scheduled updates for more of Europe in the works.

    Hi Oren, South of France is not covered by our app yet. The stoggy map will improve when you download the maps. This is not possible during a trial period BTW.
  • Essential App for all North European Waterways Cruising

    This is a superb app with everything one could want for safe and enjoyable cruising in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the UK and much of France. Very affordable and really shows off the benefit of technology on the waterways with features like AIS, GPS and route planning. Plus all the details on locks and bridges are instantly available and kept up to date. If this lock and bridge information was available to cut and paste into a translator app then that would really help non Dutch speaking sailors.

    We're looking into your suggestion to be able to cut & paste Dutch texts, but we're also going to improve translations in the app. Thanks for this very honest review.
