User reviews

Easy to use guide

I’m not the most computer literate person but I found the mobile app very easy to use and navigate! Lots of great information! A must for every sailor. 5 stars.

App is infuriatingly hopeless

I was so excited to have a digital Doyle guide…Until I tried to use it. Every time you open the app and you have to go through all the available guides to find the one you purchased. Then it does not work like the book. A simple online PDF format would be better. If it just had a contents / chapter page that then linked you to each chapter. Or an interactive Index. I tried using the search function and after hours of trying various keywords, could find nothing on very obvious topics (eg Cousteau Marine Reserve in Guadeloupe). The only thing that is relatively simple to find is anchoring / approach info. Gave up and went to the chandlery to try and get a hard copy…which it seems they no longer stock. Subscription cancelled and back to google it is. Perhaps the developers could have a peek at how the Digital Lonely Planet Guides work.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear the digital guide didn’t meet your expectations, and we understand how frustrating it can be when technology makes things harder instead of easier. We have a set of detailed tutorials on youtube that we recommend users watch to help them learn where to access the information they need in most efficient way. We know how valuable the hard copy versions are to many sailors, and while some locations may run out of stock, we’d be happy to help you track one down. If you’d like to discuss your feedback further or share more insights, please reach out to Raquel at raquel@doyleguides.com. We’d love to hear from you and see how we can improve. We hope to hear from you soon!

Great content - Horrible app

The content is great. Just like the old hard copy. The app however is just horrible. Using this on an iPad is maddening. Every few minutes the app freezes then closes. I’ve never seen an app perform this poorly. Hire a professional app developer, PLEASE.

Great mobile option

The app is easy to use and i appreciate having access to most up to date sailing and anchorage info. As we make our way through the island we will use this app for our planning - the map tool is also useful.

Great app while sailing Caribbean

Took the family on a 2 week trip and this was the best app we could find.
