Unable to download charts, perhaps because of no gps? ### 1/5 — Waste of money!! *2018-04-24* This was a waste of money!! Does not work. I can’t download any maps. I ask for my location and it tells me I’m in Spain. Yes I have my Location on. ### 1/5 — Not helpful for inland waterways *2017-08-06* Tried to use for nav in northern Minnesota and into Canada - no maps. ### 1/5 — No results *2017-06-16* I downloaded the app and am looking at a blank screen. Cannot figure out how to download charts; or 'maps' as they are called in the app ### 1/5 — No longer works *2016-08-27, version 3.3.22* Insists I enable GPS - which *is* enabled and rights granted to the app. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Free, ergo Worthless *2015-10-20* Looks like it is nothing but a variety of maps with the ability to mark a waypoint named "WAYPOINT" at your current location. But, it's free so nothing lost for trying. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2015-03-19* I purchase the full app for Australia cost me $9 bucks. Thinking the app will work better. But no it just frustrates me more. And the maps for aust is a real joke. I asked for a refund from the app maker and itune still no reply. ### 1/5 — Con *2015-01-11* This is a con . Don't let them rip you off. ### 1/5 — Useless without upgrade *2014-09-21* Lite is useless. To see a chart you'll need to spend $5.99 to upgrade to the compatible version with NOAA charts ### 1/5 — Marine navigation *2014-09-16* Nul, pas de vrai cartes marine, ne sert à rien , les applications gratuites sont bien plus complètes, a éviter... ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2013-10-19* Don't waste your money on this useless app. ### 1/5 — Useless *2013-09-14* Tech, app, and water savvy.... This app is useless... ### 1/5 — Useless *2013-09-11* This app is useless. It is impossible to download any useful chart data. There is no logic to the way it selects the portion of the chart to download and you can't drag the boundaries of the selection to choose what you want to download. Then when you actually try to download a portion of a chart you get an error saying you can only select a 10 diagonal mile portion of a chart. As I said completely useless. It deserves 0 stars but you can't do that. ### 1/5 — No better than google maps *2013-09-08* Managed to download some nav lights, further downloads just didnt work. End result, estuary is just blue, no navigational info. So it's basically google maps without the satellite imagery. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2013-06-04* How are you suppose to evaluate a program when the functions in the Lite version don't work? Given the track record of many apps I'm not spending any more money on promises if all features are activated say for trial period and I find it meets my expectations then I'll buy. ### 1/5 — Just Google Earth *2013-05-22* This seems to be just Google Earth repackaged. No nautical charts ### 1/5 — Complete Crap! *2013-03-22* Complete Crap! Don't touch it! It's a rip off! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DOESN’T wORK ON APPLE *2021-09-18* I tried deleting it and installing it back but didn’t work either **Developer response:** Remove the app and install again from scratch ### 1/5 — Não abre/ do not open *2021-09-01* instalei por três vezes e não abre a tela! I installed it three times and it doesn't open the screen! **Developer response:** Remove the app and install again from scratch ### 1/5 — Terrrivel *2021-07-10* Não consegui acessar nada 😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Lite Version isn’t good. Don’t download this. *2020-10-01* GPS doesn’t work. Neither buying App full options. ### 1/5 — A useless piece of crap! BEWARE! *2019-09-18* I hate getting ripped off and this is a total scam! Multiple emails with no response. Requested a refund twice with no response. Marco Palaferri is a con artist! ### 1/5 — Pointless *2019-08-05* Google Maps are better. It doesn’t work on iPhone XS. Will ask for refund of £4.99 ### 1/5 — Nul *2019-05-24* J’ai payé l’application impossible de s’en servir, il est demandé d’activer mon gps mais c’est fait, et ça ne fonctionne pas pour autant! ### 1/5 — Ripoff!!! *2018-11-10* They take your money and it doesn’t start up! Then it wants you to go through the whole thing again, taking mor money! This is a FRAUD!!! Rates -10!!! ### 1/5 — No answers, no support *2018-11-06* My app does not work with IOS. My e-mails were not answered, there is no support. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your $$$$ *2018-09-22* Chart menu is almost impossible to search, charts won’t download so I ended up with a blank map. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Worst app ever *2020-09-07* Cannot download anything. Won’t work at all. I want my money back from this app. ### 2/5 — Need to log on via Facebook? *2013-07-05* The app works as advertised but not having an alternate log in method means only 2 stars. I really don't want Facebook involved in navigating to my favorite destinations. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
