You need to hunt for the map you want in the menu and upload it each time Makes no sense ### 2/5 — Teurer Abo Spaß *2025-12-26* Ich dachte ich finde endlich mal eine Navigationslösung mit perpetual Karten aber wieder nichts… dafür noch teurer als Garmin. Danke nein ### 3/5 — Decent value for the money *2025-11-14, version 5.8.1* I’ve been using this app for casual occasional navigation for over 10 years, and for the money it’s fine. My biggest complaint is the number of popup ads. They are a nuisance in any app, but when I’m trying to steer a boat and use nav software and then an ad suddenly obscures the chart I’m trying to make sense of, it’s downright dangerous. The other complaint T is the interface can be obtuse. Things that should be obvious or more intuitive typically aren’t ### 2/5 — Half-price promotion didn’t work for me *2025-09-01, version 5.8.0* I tried to respond to the email solicitation to purchase at 50% off over this weekend but none of the links were active so I went to Apple subscriptions instead. I purchased a renewal but it cost me $64.19 (tax included), not $29.95. There seems to be no way to contact anyone for a refund of my over-payment. Program is fine, customer support, not so good. ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-08-10, version 5.7.0* Not free if you live outside of the United state’s of ‘Murica ### 1/5 — No trial *2025-07-15, version 5.6.44* Not paying a subscription for something unless I get to at least try it. At least give a base map. Yes- you can offer a trial. Navionics does this for 15 days. ### 5/5 — mystical paradise *2025-07-12, version 5.6.44* great ### 4/5 — Quite Handy *2025-06-26, version 5.6.44* An inexpensive option and quite handy. Depth soundings are only as accurate as the current maps. Still a great 3rd option to onboard chart plotters and paper maps. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-06-23, version 5.6.44* My go to ### 1/5 — Used to be five star, now one star *2025-05-25, version 5.6.44* Can't download Navionics charts anymore. It erased the chart I had already downloaded when I tried to upgrade. The chart that comes with iNavX is unsatisfactory for my part of the Caribbean, and the Imray chart is worse on this platform. It's basically no longer usable. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Offshore use only *2026-07-27, version 5.9.0* I’d you’re on a lake or river don’t download this app. The only data available for this app is offshore use. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-22, version 5.9.0* No inland lake maps. Useless ### 1/5 — Gone way downhill *2026-05-29, version 5.8.1* Used to be fast and intuitive…now its clunky,slow,counter-intuitive and basically useless. ### 1/5 — No info at all *2026-05-15, version 5.8.1* I ain’t got a clue. Won’t zoom in close enough for detail. I’m deleting this. ### 1/5 — Not honoring my NavionicsPlus subscription!! *2026-01-19, version 5.8.1* I’m attempting to download a Florida chart, and even though I still have an active subscription to NavionicsPlus, this app shows my Navionics charts as “expired” and it won’t let me download any new charts! What a ripoff!! ### 1/5 — No Canadian waters *2026-01-18, version 5.8.1* Only has options for the United States ### 1/5 — Why? *2025-12-02, version 5.8.1* Site won’t load, hotmail they sent me with 50% will not expand to show details of area, nor show how to purchase. I hope their charts are better than their site⚓️ ### 1/5 — Changement d’ordinateur *2025-09-16, version 5.8.1* Au changement d’ordi plus de cartes plus rien ne fonctionnait pas d’assistance et aucune solution je déconseille ### 1/5 — Safety concern *2025-08-23, version 5.8.0* You flip on iNavX because you quickly want to check if you are safe to proceed. And you are met with your chart covered up by a clickbait ad with the ‘x’ to close it barely visible. Not cool. ### 1/5 — Email spammers *2025-08-14, version 5.7.0* To much email spam, you need a password to unsubscribe. Ridiculous. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Smooth *2026-08-12, version 5.9.0* Great for finding where you are !!! ### 5/5 — Great App. *2026-07-10, version 5.9.0* So completely user friendly! ### 5/5 — Tablet plots *2026-07-01, version 5.8.1* This app is easy to use and lets me plan trips while at home ### 5/5 — Best chart *2026-05-25, version 5.8.1* This is the best chart I’ve used ### 5/5 — Concise *2026-05-11, version 5.8.1* I enjoy this software. ### 5/5 — Accurate and fun to use *2026-01-21, version 5.8.1* We anchor out mor than dock - wouldn’t use anything else ### 5/5 — South Australia *2025-12-13, version 5.8.1* Simple safe situational awareness.

Running down the Delaware Bay I noticed a discrepancy between the chart image and the radar overlay on Garmin I am New INav user. Lucky for me the system loads up easily. I fired up. INav showed information lining up with radar images. Garmin course image would be off by thirty degrees Guess which plotter I chose to use in Cape May channel Yep! INav earned my trust. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
