Lack of ability to pair a B&G Zeus S to IPad
Unfortunately, we have just installed a B&G Zeus S chart plotter and, whilst the iPad connects to the hotspot there is no functionality with mirroring functions.
Never works
I’ve been able to pair the app to my Simrad GO9 a couple of times and everything worked pretty well. However, I’ve never been able to save any trip info, waypoints, etc. to the app for viewing at home. In fact, at home I can’t even get it (the app) to bring up ANY information. Lately, every time I try to connect to my on-board Simrad the app says my password is incorrect - IT’S NOT! Can’t even connect. Will delete this app and am searching for a better one.

Doesn’t work on my Zeus2 anymore
Not sure what happened with the newer version but now I can’t connect to share my Zeus screen.
Not used by people who boat at night?
The app does what it says, provides a view of the chartplottter/radar and allows control of it. This is great for those of us keeping our chart plotters inside out of the weather.
However, when its connecting, it uses a bright white screen which destroys your night vision. Do Navico expect that none of their users actually get out boating overnight??
Please Navico, change the app to follow the system suggested mode (dark or light) and show a black screen when appropriate so we can retain our night vision!!

Just ok
Does what it says on the tin - but isn’t a great experience.
With a little thought and imagination it could be so much better - allowing things that are frankly too difficult to use on the touchscreen - like easy upload of waypoints and routes

Shake Report
Why in the world would you have “shake reporting” on an app that is made to be used on a boat?! Developers are out of touch with users. SIMRAD should invest in fixing this app. It’s 60% there and could be great if they gave it any attention.
IPad problem. 14.2
New update fixed the problems I had. Thank you.
Response from developer
The app is now fixed. Also the new B&G app has mirroring and control feature available.
Full screen problems - Fixed
Update Jan21 - the full screen problems are now fixed. Haven’t had the opportunity to use in anger, but is looking good.
As mentioned by other reviewers, the app does not show in a full screen landscape mode. The mirroring and control does work, but the small window makes it of little use.

Update! Developers have listen.
Update, tried today onshore and the developers have fixed the previous issues, thank you! Not been out on the boat yet but looking forwards to mirroring the plotter on my iPad when outside of cabin. App does what it says it does now.
