### 4/5 — App support is great

*2014-09-23*

I asked for a demo before I bought it and they responded in 2 days with free demos. Great customer support

### 4/5 — Great app

*2014-08-03*

Works better than the one stock on my 2007 21 foot wellcraft!

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2014-03-01*

This app is absolutely worthless. Please save your money. Nothing works and every map cost additional money Lake Erie for instance has four different map locations that each cost separate money from your initial cost. I hope someone produces something better.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2014-01-22*

Doesn't show any depths until you buy more lakes. Only certain lakes are purchasable

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2013-10-03*

Waste of money

### 2/5 — Needs Canadian charts

*2015-08-15, version 3.9.0*

Seems like a great app but it needs Canadian charts as well. West Coast would be great.

### 2/5 — LookED good

*2015-06-01*

But on an iPad and 6+ the app locks up and will not function.  Trying to expand to a point where you can actually READ the charts of Lake Champlain and the Hudson canal produce more lockup.   App is nonfunctional for me and two emails to the support contact produced NO response-which was the largest disappointment.  I doubt a refund is to be offered, but one is certainly in order!

### 3/5 — Missing lakes

*2014-05-05, version 2.2*

Put in lake Simcoe and Couching it's not that hard to do. Their just to lazy

### 4/5 — Good

*2020-08-02*

Works for me . Good app. Helpful for boating . How do I get the dropped pin off the map? Maybe make a faq page for the app, for easier use

### 4/5 — good but lacking

*2016-05-22*

Need to flag protected areas so this can be used for on water navigation 

36° 33.650' N. lat. 121° 57.600' W. long.;
36° 33.650' N. lat. 121° 58.500' W. long.;
36° 33.100' N. lat. 121° 58.500' W. long.;
36° 33.100' N. lat. 121° 57.600' W. long.; and 36° 33.650' N. lat. 121° 57.600' W. long.

Be able to enter coords like this so that it will show the boundaries of that protected fishing area

### 4/5 — Owner/Opp

*2015-04-13*

Of what I've used... it works great.. looking for nav. aids as direction and distance

### 4/5 — Cool but the crash...

*2015-02-01*

Very, very cool. Crashes are common and slow to load. Other than its actually quite awesome.

### 5/5 — Map automatically switches 😤

*2020-07-26*

The map always automatically loads to a picture map. It is very irritating and I would love to just keep the satellite map on while I browse the ocean depths. Is there any way to just keep the satellite map on without it automatically switching?

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2015-07-04*

We were visiting Lake Champlain for the week and had a paper chart but our chart plotter didn't cover this area. Got this app while exploring the lake and it was a tremendous help when cruising along!

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2015-05-09*

Great app with many great features, simple intuitive to use. Keep up the excellent work.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-01-06*

Solid. The charts and digital depth readings are great. Perfect for cruising around Lake Champlain.

### 5/5 — I use it all the time.

*2014-10-28*

Perfect for day trips on the bay. The tide predictions are really nice. A+ app.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2014-09-09*

Great app...THANKS HEAPS...and accurate!!

### 5/5 — Great.

*2014-06-08*

Great ap. had issues at first. Product support was great resolved all issues.  Overlay maps add great detail!

### 5/5 — Great Depths

*2014-05-01*

I'm using this app on Lake Champlain where it's a great replacement for a stand-alone GPS. Your position is shown on the actual scanned-in lake charts which have the depth markers (it's not an actual depth finder). 
If you have an iPhone and a boat, this is for you.
