Chart updates

Does this chart app ever get chart updates? There is no mention of that. I guess most of the charts are four years or older in this app Since the last version update was in 2015?

Chart Bait

Baits you. Must purchase expensive charts to use.

Do Not Buy this App

I have been using this app for years and was very happy with it but it seems they have now stopped upgrading and supporting but are still happy to sell to anyone stupid enough to buy it!!
I changed phones and tried to restore my purchased charts but could not.
Emails to support are totally ignored.
Changing to another product. Very disappointed!

Loss of charts

Upgraded my phone, downloaded the app and no charts came with it. Went to restore previous purchases, nothing! Nice way to rip me off there Navimatics. I guess you expect consumers not to upgrade so they stay on par with your product.....old and inferior.

Complete Rip-off

I would give NO STARS FOR NOTHING if I could but app won’t allow. After getting the app and paying $25 for the charts it worked. Shortly after Active Captain stopped working and then so did the chart. When I try to use the chart they want me to buy it again. I’ve tried numerous e-mails - no response. STAY CLEAR unless you want to donate $25 for nothing.
