The app completely stops working if it is not updated. ### 5/5 — Argo App *2026-05-26, version 3.5.3* Great App with fantastic support group ### 5/5 — Perfect when away from your home waters *2026-05-26, version 3.5.3* So easy to use and very accurate ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-25, version 3.5.3* Great ### 5/5 — Been with this app several years *2026-05-20, version 3.5.2* Excellent app, always getting new features. Moved to a new area of the Chesapeake Bay so it’s come in handy again while I get comfortable with new routes ### 5/5 — Routing *2026-05-08, version 3.4.0* Very easy routing, wind direction etc ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-04, version 3.4.0* Yes best ### 5/5 — I can’t believe it took me this long to use Argo Nav!!! *2026-03-06, version 3.0.2* Not enough words to describe this nav app!!!!!! Thanks a lot Capitán Jeff!!!! ### 5/5 — Easy to use and shows me where to go *2026-02-25, version 3.0.0* This is my go to navigation app. I can plan trips with new boats and feel comfortable wherever I go just by entering the boat details and creating an autoroute. I’ve used the other apps and nothing compares. It’s fast, easy, and reliable. ### 5/5 — I'm new to Sat Nav *2026-02-12, version 2.17.0* This is so easy to use. Very intuitive and super value for money. ### 5/5 — Support *2026-01-26, version 2.16.0* So I was having trouble with NMEA, just thought I’d email support and with in minutes I had a reply from Dave and Jeff with a solution to my problem and this was during the NFL playoffs. Five stars for the app and support. ### 5/5 — Super easy to use *2025-11-25, version 2.14.2* We have been so impressed with this app. It’s so easy to use. Very detailed navigation. Showing local weather and conditions is a huge plus. On top of all that, the customer service is amazing. I suggested a change to the app creator and he made it! You will love this app. ### 5/5 — Best routing *2025-11-24, version 2.14.2* This app is so easy to use and has the best auto routing tool. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Vance *2025-11-07, version 2.14.0* Love It ### 5/5 — Ease of use *2025-10-27, version 2.13.2* New to boating and love this app ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-10-04, version 2.13.0* This app its well done. Easy to use and accurate. I recommend it. ### 5/5 — Yes *2025-09-06, version 2.11.0* Love it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Routes me through land *2026-06-15, version 3.6.2* Would be helpful if it was actually showing a route you could take in a boat ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing *2026-02-21, version 2.17.0* Can’t download map update and keeps freezing ### 1/5 — “Coming Soon - NMEA Integration, AIS Traffic”. I’ve been WAITING … NO JOY YET! Cancelled! *2025-09-17, version 2.11.2* For me, worthless without NMEA Integration AND AIS Traffic! The map contour needs work. Routing speed is fantastic and so too are other features! Lots of promise here, but you’ve got to bring NMEA & AIS to be useful, and competitive, for me. I’m rooting for you! CU “Soon”! ### 1/5 — “Tap” means Nothing *2025-08-22, version 2.10.2* Frustrating. Sure seemed like a good app; enter start point, choose endpoint by tapping on the map. Tap. Tap. Tap x infinity. Delete app. ### 1/5 — Now charging *2025-05-26, version 2.5.1* Would it kill you to let the early adopters who promoted the app continue with free premium features? We were free advertisers ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-05-24, version 2.5.0* Last year, I’d have given this app 5/5! Took out the boat yesterday and all this app did was give me a white screen. Even with rebooting my phone and updating the app, all I get is a white screen. Guess I’ll need to find a new app. ### 1/5 — I had really high hopes *2025-03-28, version 2.2.0* I really wanted to get away from Garmin. They increased the price and messed up the Navionics app (which I used for many years). My hope was this app would be a good replacement, however . . . The first problem is the offline maps mode doesn’t let you select width, West & East. I don’t need as much North & South because we primarily travel along the inland coastal areas. Now the problem is when I go to save the offline map it reports the selected area is too large. I would hardly say 75-80 mile West to East offline map should be too large. The next problem is that it doesn’t allow to just track your route for the day, seeing the total miles (we run 100-150 miles a day) so this is very important. I’m going to give it another try next weekend, but so far I’m planning to cancel my subscription. ### 1/5 — Be forewarned you’ll be stalked *2025-02-24, version 2.0.3* Look, I get it that Apps collect data on us, but be forewarned Jeff is a creeper ! Heck he will even send you e-mails expressing how little your usage is. Great App, simple and easy to use, just too bad Jeff is a creeper. Your choice….. ### 1/5 — Awful App now *2025-02-13, version 2.0.2* Downloaded the free version awhile back and it worked ok for a month or two. Not very accurate but gets you close to channel markers in my area. A few times it routed me across land. Now with their paid version out, the free version I have on my phone is worthless. I don’t mind paying the subscription, but worried it will be the same useless app I have now. I’ve deleted and searching for others. ### 1/5 — Scammers *2025-02-05, version 2.0.1* I subscribed with these guys last summer, they took the money and now the app ain’t functioning. It’s a blackout screen, that’s all I can see on their app. Contacted support with no reply. Take your money elsewhere unless you like watching it disappear. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-13, version 3.9.0* I’ve been using Argo for a few years now. Absolutely love it. I love the way you can customize the water depth curves along with other features. It allows you to very clearly see where safe water is. I also love you can use the app to pre plan routes etc. ### 5/5 — Captain Mike Jackson *2026-08-07, version 3.8.4* Pretty awesome app and getting better every day! Great job Argo team!! ### 5/5 — 2 year veteran cruiser- GL *2026-08-01, version 3.8.4* Love this app!! We cruise Lake Michigan, Ludington to Petoskey area. Great for trip planning on logging our travels. Highly recommend this! ### 5/5 — Great routing *2026-07-26, version 3.8.4* Awesome ### 5/5 — I like it *2026-07-26, version 3.8.4* Very easy to use ### 5/5 — Great Customer Service —> Great App! *2026-07-15, version 3.8.0* I found this app 4 years ago when taking a trip to Cape Coral, FL. It was amazing, helpful, and very user-friendly. Used it consistently, any time on water, from then until this June. The company did an update that removed many labels and important specifics on their maps and I, a disappointed customer, shared my feedback. They listened! They fixed it! The maps are now user-friendly again and I have found a renewed love for this app. Thank you for taking my feedback to heart and caring enough about me (one person) to do something. ;) I’ll be a forever user of this app! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-07, version 3.7.0* Easy to use ### 5/5 — So far, so good *2026-06-19, version 3.6.2* Just started using ### 5/5 — Great secondary chart with autorouting made easy *2026-06-02, version 3.5.3* Used for route planning, in the comfort of my home and cabin, on desktop or iPad. Then run for navigation as a backup to my Chartplotter ### 5/5 — App *2026-05-30, version 3.5.3* I had this app years ago and basically life took a different route than I planned. Built a new home on the Albemarle Sound. Seabee is back on the water with THE BEST BOATING APP EVER. User friendly and that is very important to a technological challenged old man 🙂. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
