## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I already paid

*2025-12-18*

I paid 24.95 for a map. Why do you want me to buy the same map again and not honour my first purchase. If you have a glitch I can understand that but I don’t want to keep paying for the same map again and again. What gives. I’ll change my rating after you restore my purchase

### 1/5 — Not supported

*2022-09-24*

Even though you’re offered the option of downloading for Windows. They will not support it. After installing it, they say maps are needed. After paying for the needed maps they will not load to program.  Many email discussions were had with all kinds of not relevant responses, ultimately they told me they don’t support windows. Then refused refund telling me to take it up with PayPal or my bank. Stay away! Terrible vendor close to fraud.

### 1/5 — BUYER BEWARE!

*2019-08-22*

You can spend the exorbitant amount for this app if you want to, but it may not have the lake(s) you are hoping to view.  If it does, enjoy them quickly, because the next time you open the app, chances are good it will tell you you have to purchase it (AGAIN) because it doesn’t recognize that they already robbed you of 20 bucks!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-10-09*

### 2/5 — Poor loading

*2024-07-13, version 114.0.0*

Purchase these map of Canada and US and every time I try to us it, it tells me I’m only have the lite version not happy

### 2/5 — No lakes

*2020-10-13, version 96.0.0*

This app has a poor opinion of what a major lake is. Only one lake in my area is even on the map and it’s inside a national park where there is no fishing.

### 3/5 — A little cumbersome

*2025-06-24*

The app has some good features but it’s a bit cumbersome. It keeps asking to to update but says there’s no update. The display is very nice and the geography and contour lines are pretty accurate.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2025-07-03*

I like this app for the charts and the detail. What I don’t like is the fact that you can’t update the charts. Every time I open the app it says “strict offline mode” it wants you to upgrade and I have but it doesn’t recognize it other than that the app is useful.

### 4/5 — Great for small vessels

*2023-09-02*

The trial, or Lite version, will only work with GPS for a couple of days. After that you have a map showing the depth contours of whatever map you previously downloaded but no way to see where you are on that map. This works for because I use terrain association when navigating anyway, but it might cause issues for others not comfortable with that type of navigation.
 If you upgrade, the purchase price is only good for one year of maps, then you need to re-purchase the maps (this is my understanding from other reviews, I have not upgraded yet).
 All said, I think the app is pretty good, and a lot less expensive than buying a dedicated depth finder or chart plotter.
I recommend it.

### 5/5 — Kushner’s pontoon exploring.

*2021-03-09*

Wow, a great help on the water, inching along shorelines, finding the deep spots, this is great!

### 5/5 — Carte

*2020-07-07, version 93.0.0*

Très bien détaillé 👌

### 5/5 — Detail

*2020-01-15*

Perfect!
