Boating Made Stress-Free

This app is awesome for boaters! It makes planning super easy with clear maps and smart routes. I really like that it shows no-wake zones, depth info, and even past routes so you don’t have to guess. The “Where to, Captain?” search is fun and helpful. ETAs are spot on, and I feel way more confident on the water. Totally recommend it for anyone who loves boating!

Lots of Room for Improvement

It does a good job of showing AIS tracks on the chart. However it fails to actually follow those AIS tracks when creating a route between two points. Instead it just follows the shortest route seemingly, which might not be the safest. Also, unfortunately it lacks the ability to create a manual route with more than15 waypoints and whe you do create a manual route and try to export it, the app exports the route not as a single route but as multiple routes.

Love idea

Updated to latest version with eta. Seems to display info correctly but runs super slow and taps on options don’t respond. I am sure they will get fixed. Looking forward to using it

Still needs improvement

Great idea but this still feels like a pre-release version. It doesn’t do simple things you expect. Like I set my home port, then when I went to create route, it doesn’t allow you to use the home port as a starting point (unless of course you go find it again, but then what is the point?) And this new update doesn’t show tracks, which I liked. It used to show tracks for the same route, and I do have the option enabled and allow boats of any length too. Disappointed.

Ditch is appropriately named…had to ditch the app!

Multiple attempts to get the app to do something, all to no avail. This app is just junk and don’t let them soak you for a subscription charge!

Yes it will load and I was able to sign in but that is all. It refuses to plot even the simplest waypoint, hitting the support gets a grey screen with no way out, had to delete and reload the app three times.

I’m not wasting any more time on a poorly designed app that will not function.
