Could be a bit better

A key that explained the symbols on the map you are viewing would be a big help!

Great Lakes Day Trips

For a small boat and day trips this app gives you all the information you need to navigate with confidence. I circled Manitoulin Island safely with my kids. Markers were very precise. Thank you for bringing safety within reach of a simple app. Inner lakes would be better in the same format as Great Lakes. But the charts look useful.

Pas la Rivière de la Lièvre visible

Nous n’avons pas notre rivière visible. Rivière de la Lièvre , Notre Dame do Laus. Québec

Great app

Works as it should!

Customer service

I purchased this apt to use it as a backup to other navigational equipment. This is in my opinion a waste of money. I contacted the help department several times (no phone number to call) but they could only answer some of my concerns.

RIP-OFF DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Advertised for $19.99. Charged my account $34.00! Very little to no useful info in my area. Contacted app support NO REPLY! Poor user interface as choppy contour lines. Eats up huge data space holing mapped areas. Not possible to load small areas. Must download whole charts. WASTE OF $30.00

Great app for the price

Have been using the app for several months now, learning to use the application wasn't overly difficult. One upgrade could be labels on the buttons. Also a more easily accessible users guide.
I had a problem with missing tidal station info, sent an email and within the day issue was resolved.
Over all a good app for navigation information.

Good functionality

No problems and good accuracy. Would like to see contour lines for adjacent shores like hard-copy charts. Would also like to see Lat/Lon for current points or markers.

Does not work.

No charts came with this. It offers to download them at additional cost, which then does not work. If you want an expensive app which does nothing but put a blinking curser on your present location then this is for you.

Response from developer

This is blatantly inaccurate. The price includes access to all charts covering Canada and US at no additional cost. We also have a lite version available in the AppStore https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/i-boating-nautical-marine-charts-fishing-maps/id994992062?mt=8 . **Again all charts covering Canada and USA are included at no additional cost.**

Great app

I have used in low light and visibility and found it to be very accurate. Wish it would make a auto course from point to point. As well as have more information about the nav points on charts in a side menu so I don't have to also have my books with me. Great app thou I use it all the time, very accurate. Thanks.

App requests new map purchases every year

Loses prior year's map purchases and data. Costly at $22+ every year. Not worth it.

Outstanding app for price and content

I bought this app hoping I would get maps for a couple places I was interested in (Ottawa River and the st Lawrence seaway) but this app has maps for every other little lake I could possibly want too! The features are great too, waypoint and record routes work really well. Thanks for making a truly essential app for any boater!

excellent app

I have used this excellent app for over a year. Recently I had a problem with the gps and contacted their support tech. After a few emails he found the problem and fixed it. I was very impressed with both the prompt replies and the tech's expertise. Excellent app and excellent support I highly recommend it.

Captain

I downloaded this app to my iPhone 6+ because I wanted to supplement the Navionics plotter on my iPad.
The idea being that it would be easy to take a quick glance at my iPhone and not have to go below.
This app is brilliant. It is easy to set up waypoints and routes. Far more intuitive than the Navionics app. I like being able to create waypoints and routes on my iPad then exporting them by email so I can import them into my iPhone just by tapping the attachment on my email. So easy! I haven't used this to navigate yet; it's too cold to take the boat out.
I feel it is fair to mention that the free charts don't have as much detail as the Navionics charts but there is certainly sufficient detail to make this a useful tool.
The app and charts are free so Downloading this is a no brainer.

Great App

We have used two consecutive days on the Ottawa River, this was a fantastic app to have for us novice boaters without all the fancy fish & depth finders aboard , could make use of a legend for all the symbols as part of the features, but other than that, definitely not a waste of money , Nautical maps aren't cheap !

Cheated me out of $20

Bought this app when it was $20 on app store. To my surprize a year later the app is asking me to cough up another $20. Nowere it said that it is a yearly subscription app. Barely even got to use it.

Great ap

Does a great job of delivering everything as promised. I am using it on an Ipad Air and it's fast, tracks well and does not crash.
Great job designers!!!!

The best nav system for central canada

As stated. The only real system available for manitoba

Don't waste your money!

Not what you think it is do not but rip off scam!

Great App - Even Better Support

As unfamiliar as I am with nautical charts, I still find myself having to navigate the challenging waters of Puget Sound in Washington State. The App itself is straight forward and gives you a wealth of complete charts at your fingertips. What is even better: Tech Support is quick to respond and genuinely interested in helping solve problems. The App doesn't misbehave at all - ever!
