Very Unhappy

I paid for this app and then had to pay for the same app AGAIN in order to continue using after the developer updated it. Then the developer went to a subscription model and disabled the functionality of the original app if users didn’t pay a monthly fee. Very shady. Now all my data is inaccessible and I paid twice for an app that was disabled by the developer. I never even got a refund. This kind of practice shouldn’t be allowed in the App Store.

Can’t Use The App I Purchased

I have been using this app for years. Within the last year, you can no longer use the app you purchased. They force you to either pay ridiculous monthly or annual fees or you can export your data. That’s it. I don’t know how they get away with this, but you’ve lost another loyal customer.

Can’t believe this

I was just getting ready to give this app a thumbs up after my last review on Mar 18. I have been logging in my maintenance and expenses pretty good. Took several trips and did not have an issue. Went out today started a trip went to the fuel log saved a fuel log it’s there. Came back from my trip. Saved it as normal. Completely gone. No record of it. This app is completely frustrating.

No Free Trial??

I heard about this app and wanted to see if it met my needs and I liked the interface. There is NO FREE TRIAL! (Even for a day, let alone for a normal evaluation period). So, if you want to evaluate it, you have to pay for the month to see if you even like it. No way!!! I deleted the app immediately after getting that screen that said I had to pay to see it. It “may” be a great program, but I’m not going to pay to figure that out.

Canceled my subscription early

Update: there have been no updates to this app since it went subscription based. Disappointed. I was thinks about restarting my subscription but no real need to. This product before was great. I didn’t move to the subscription based one right away. Got it for this season and I am completely dissatisfied! There is no method to the madness so I am not really sure what to suggest. This app consistently changes my engine hours. Engine 1 becomes engine 2 on the hours. I use the feature to start a trip and hours are always screwed up on start. I have saved trips and it doesn’t save them (sometimes) I have also started trips and it has cancelled them during the cruise and prompted me to start a new trip when I came back to the dock. This new “paid” wouldn’t be worth it if it was free.

Sorry to hear that you cancelled but to clarify, there have been updates since we moved to a subscription model. And as of 3/26/25, we are releasing a big update that will go live in the next 2 weeks.
