### 2/5 — Family sharing

*2026-08-19, version 9.2.1*

I bought this app thinking it was going to allow me to share with my family. I’m about to council because I can’t share with my son.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-07, version 9.2.1*

Works exactly well for me

### 2/5 — Total frustration

*2026-07-18, version 9.2.0*

Paid for the membership but unable to see any contour lines on any lake anywhere. I click on the depth charts icon and the word Navionics shows up on the map but that's it. I have the latest update and have insured that I have the correct map layer selected.

I can't seem to find a way to contact the developer directly, so I'm leaving this review in hopes that they will contact me. At least for now, total dissatisfaction and regret for spending the money.

### 1/5 — Junk. Don’t bother.

*2026-07-05, version 9.1.1*

Can’t even get past the login screen. Tried signing up/logging in through Google, Apple, and then even tried to make a new account through my email. Every time it locks up or says authentication failed, even trying to make a new account. Gave up and deleted.

### 5/5 — good

*2026-07-03, version 9.1.1*

great fishing app

### 1/5 — BS

*2026-05-15, version 9.1.1*

BS when free…why the fug would I pay!

### 1/5 — Fish forecast

*2026-05-09, version 9.1.0*

It’s a shame fish forecast is behind a pay wall instead of being free like it used to and should be. Wish the app went back to how it was originally

### 1/5 — To expensive

*2026-05-02, version 9.1.0*

Way to expensive for what you get.  Better off with one of the free apps

### 2/5 — Could’ve been better

*2026-04-18, version 9.0.0*

Was a great app Used to be able to see “peak feeding times” for free now they’ve updated the app and you have to be apart of their subscription

### 1/5 — Now you gotta pay for a simple forecast

*2026-04-10, version 9.0.0*

This was a fine & dandy app. Was able to check best feeding times for fish but now they’ve locked it behind a paywall. The forecast is confusing and not user friendly anymore. They’ve done got greedy and now this app sucks.
