### 5/5 — Works for me!

*2023-07-09*

Not sure what someone was complaining about saying no marinas, etc; there is a toggle to turn them ON, and also can make your own notes for boat ramps and “spots”. Good app to function with especially for those getting familiar with the lake.

### 1/5 — Not what’s in the pics

*2018-09-09*

Just bought this app and it is not what is pictured. The map doesn’t have any of the marinas, golf courses, airports marked. It only has the buoy markings.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2014-11-12*

This app could replace any Garmin, GPS unit or Lowrance.    This and a cheap fish finder could put them all out of business.  
Love it!!
