### 4/5 — Could be better.

*2026-04-24, version 160.0.0*

The only problem I have is that the lake maps are not very defined.

### 3/5 — My review

*2026-01-25, version 159.0.0*

Disappointed that features in the free version have been removed. It’s all about money

### 4/5 — Needs more

*2025-08-08, version 159.0.0*

Good but could be better— needs a “save “ button to keep what you just found, needs 
a “ vegetation on surface “ button— needs more but that’s 
enough—-

### 4/5 — It needs this

*2025-04-25, version 153.0.0*

A legend would be very helpful. I’m still not positive what the orange dots and red lines mean.

### 4/5 — Very good value

*2025-03-01, version 147.0.0*

This app was very detailed and free reminded me of navionics but this app is free.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t have good maps coverage.

*2024-10-15, version 147.0.0*

Comparing to navionics - it doesn’t have good mapping. Some lakes are not existing on the app and some are showing partial coverage for example - Georgian Bay. Very dissatisfied, wish I opted to stay with Navionics.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2024-09-14, version 147.0.0*

App doesn’t pinpoint my location accurately and the depths have been off by several feet which makes a big difference in smaller lakes.

### 1/5 — Scammy…

*2024-09-07, version 147.0.0*

I bought the subscription yet it keeps asking me to buy more layers. Not to be trusted.

### 3/5 — Where is my upgrade?

*2024-09-04, version 147.0.0*

I purchased for an upgrade expecting more detailed maps.Instead I got the same thing as if I never paid into this app. Very disappointed.

### 2/5 — Good untill it wasn’t

*2024-07-29, version 143.0.0*

I like the app but every so often you need to get a new pin to put in to refresh maps. That’s fine until recently when the pins they send me are no good. And no one from customer service has emails me back about a new one. I have Emailed two time now with no response.

### 3/5 — Lost Info

*2024-07-09, version 143.0.0*

I had the old version for years and it was great. The new, updated version (green badging & label) does not have as much info on it as the old one! Specifically, depth topo maps for certain lakes are gone. For instance, Lake Murray in San Diego California no longer has a bathymetry map. Just disappeared. Gone, no reason.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2024-07-03*

Невозможно скачать карты на территории РФ:( зачем тогда это приложение высвечивается и дает возможность скачать в Российском сегменте. Если решили повестись тренду - то уберите возможность скачивания

### 1/5 — It needs this

*2026-07-02, version 160.0.0*

A legend would be very helpful. I’m still not positive what the orange dots and red lines mean.
I can’t do anything other than look at this map.

### 1/5 — Thieves

*2026-06-16, version 160.0.0*

Stole $15 from me and gave me nothing.  Same as i-Boating.  FRAUD

### 1/5 — Cash grab

*2026-06-04, version 160.0.0*

I chose this app over navionics because I do not like subscriptions. And what a mistake. I wanted this because it said it would show my location, I like to follow the old underground river in a favorite lake, but no matter what I set my location Services to, it always shows me about. A quarter mile away, not even on the lake at all. And the second major issue and this is a major one, despite paying the full price and now says I’m using the light version and no matter what I do. The restore button doesn’t do anything, but the purchase maps sure does work. I’ve restarted my device deleted and reinstall the app. It doesn’t matter so now it went from useless to the light version of useless.. For what they charge they could do a whole lot better.

### 1/5 — My review

*2026-02-02, version 159.0.0*

Disappointed that I cannot set a waypoint or see my position on a lake even afterI purchased the updated lake maps version.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate  GPS readings

*2025-12-24, version 159.0.0*

GPS is inaccurate.  Forced to repurchase same map for my lake each year.

### 1/5 — No contour lines

*2025-12-08, version 159.0.0*

No good for BOQ fishing. No details  
I am out 40 dollars.

### 1/5 — Having to purchase maps multiple times

*2025-08-04, version 159.0.0*

I bought old maps but have to pay another 30 dollars for the new maps.

### 1/5 — app is just scam not true

*2025-06-02, version 157.0.0*

app is just scam not true

### 1/5 — Need tech help

*2025-04-25, version 153.0.0*

This app does not have our correct location. I’m thinking it’s money for nothing.

### 1/5 — Not a serious app

*2024-12-11, version 147.0.0*

This is not a serious attempt to create a useful app.  The interface is terrible and the map data can be found elsewhere with a usable interface.

### 5/5 — Great fishing tool

*2026-07-12, version 160.0.0*

Wish it showed fishing spots on map. And a few more lakes. But it’s a great help for finding structure

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-01-23, version 159.0.0*

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2025-09-03, version 159.0.0*

I am very impressed with this app. It definitely helpful targeting fishing hot spots. I highly recommend this app .
A+++

### 5/5 — My new Navionics

*2025-07-01, version 159.0.0*

After Garmin bought Navionics, they raised the prices through the roof. I tried virtually every app on the store finally settling on this one. Include hd sonar contours of most lakes with fishing spots. Reasonably priced and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great Terrain Detail & Tracking

*2025-05-21, version 157.0.0*

I don’t have a fish finder or any tech. I use this app on my kayak to find structure in both lakes and on the salt water. Having the ability to track myself on the map is excellent. Tide and current data is also very helpful. I use it all the time.

### 5/5 — Great depth chart maps for lakes .

*2025-04-27, version 153.0.0*

I have been using the free app and love it.would buy the upgrade but can’t find out if the app has gps location.

*2024-10-28*

Must have app. its life saver and so each to use.

### 5/5 — Great navigation tool

*2024-06-27, version 143.0.0*

I have really enjoyed this app. I use it for everything fishing related.

### 5/5 — Great data

*2024-01-24, version 136.0.0*

I was fishing a new area and after a day or too of nothing I downloaded this app and was able to pinpoint where a shelf and shelter rocks were and I limited out after a few hours, great app and easy to use and very simple which is perfect!
