## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-07-07*

Doesn't have automatic routing.

### 1/5 — Still need to try in anger but...

*2019-07-08*

I’m struggling, every time I search something I end up in the US rather than Canada. The Charts seem random, the lake next to ours is covered, ours isn’t and the main water way we go to not far from the cottage seems to be copies of paper charts? Oh, and when you zoom in names, which seem illogical in their choice, stay microscopically small. I might be doing something wrong but for the money I was hoping for something that works simply and easily straight away.

### 1/5 — Terrible - no information

*2016-08-16*

This app is awful. They tell you there is information for the specific lakes and then after you buy it you find out there is nothing. For the lakes there is some info they just scanned government provided documents. Not sure how this app is worth $2 let alone $35.

### 1/5 — Tried it!

*2016-06-27*

This product is awful. Don't waste your time and money. Chart detail is lacking and not safe for navigation. I thought I could saVe a little money compared to Navionics. Big mistake! The only thing I'd like is my money back!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work offline, was told it did

*2016-04-22*

I messaged and asked before I purchased if it worked offline and was told it did

### 3/5 — US and Canada Iphone

*2023-04-21*

This could be a lot better app if there were just some basic instructions SOMEWHERE! No such luck, the handful of videos tell you nothing about basic operation and the people are difficult to understand anyway. With enough precious time wasted, you can figure most of it out. In the end it will be helpful, price was decent for what you get.

### 3/5 — Not as good as I thought !

*2020-06-16*

Not worth 34$

### 3/5 — Good App

*2020-04-12*

It looks pretty good so far. Haven’t had a chance to use out on the lake yet. Hoping to change that soon!
Looked up a lot of lakes in the Okanogan in BC and found most of them. 
Some of the Lakes have pretty useless maps but for the most part they are very good!! Can’t wait to use the App in the real world!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-09-08*

So much more defined than the chip. Some areas are not the same but hard to get all contours correct

### 5/5 — Great Job in Discovery Islands

*2019-08-20*

Took a 79 nM cruise around Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands in BC.  Took me safely through some narrow rocky passages with awkward turns.  Like the low price for Canadian and US charts and that they are not proprietary.  Not hard to use compared to some other similar apps but there is still a learning curve.  Plot your trickier routes before you are aboard.
Had difficulty uploading logs to other copies of app. Only has email option as a way to transfer them. Did not work. Would also like a way to send a pdf of the routes I took to friends interested in where we went
